Adherence
Higher self-efficacy and being in a 'receptive' stage of change are associated with greater odds of being physically active in CKD patients, regardless of disease stage.
Your confidence in your ability to exercise (self-efficacy) is a strong predictor of whether you will be active. If you feel unsure, focus on building 'readiness' through small, manageable steps and educational support. Setting reachable goals and seeing successful experiences can boost your confidence to exercise long-term.
Patients in a ‘receptive’ stage of change and with higher levels of self-efficacy had greater odds of being active.
Why this rating
Large sample size and statistically significant associations (P < 0.001) for self-efficacy and stage of change.
