The health action process approach to promote regular physical activity among people with disabilities: A hierarchical regression analysis.

Objective: People with disabilities continue to cope with high levels of stress, such as disability-related stress and sociopolitical stress. Helping people with disabilities engage in regular physical activity to improve health and reduce stress is more important than ever. This study evaluated demographic covariates, the health action process approach (HAPA) constructs (action self-efficacy, outcome expectancy, risk perception, intention/commitment, maintenance and recovery self-efficacy, and action and coping planning), and positive person-environment variables (autonomous motivation, resilience, hope, and social support) as motivators for regular physical activity in a sample of people with disabilities.

Quality of life in people with epilepsy: The associations of anti-seizure medications and biopsychosocial variables.

People with epilepsy, on average, experience lower quality of life (QOL) than healthy controls. This study examined the associations between specific anti-seizure medications, biopsychosocial factors, and QOL in people with epilepsy. Analysis of covariance revealed that individuals taking three or more anti-seizure medications had significantly lower QOL than those taking levetiracetam.

Subjective well-being of adults with multiple sclerosis during COVID-19: Evaluating stress-appraisal-coping and person-environment factors.

Background: People with multiple sclerosis (MS) have been coping with high levels of stress during the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, affecting their employment, physical, and mental health, and overall life satisfaction.

Objective: This study evaluated constructs of the stress-appraisal-coping theory and positive person-environment factors as predictors of subjective well-being for adults with MS.

Method: Participants included 477 adults with MS recruited through the National Multiple Sclerosis Society.

Mediators of quality of life in brain injury.

Primary Objective: This study examined the mediating role of perceived social support and mastery on quality of life (QOL) among adults with brain injury.

Research Design: An a priori structural model hypothesizing the relationships among symptom severity, mastery, social support, and QOL variables were tested.

Methods And Procedures: Individuals with brain injury across the United States participated in an online survey ( = 183).
