Plan pursuit in the context of daily fruit and vegetable consumption: The importance of cue detection and the execution of the planned behaviour for overall behaviour change.

Objectives: In action planning interventions, individuals specify and link cues with behavioural responses to implement behaviour change. To date, not much is known about how and how much the detection of the planned cue (entering and identifying the planned situation) and the execution of the planned behaviour (behavioural response exactly as planned) contribute to overall behavioural changes (changes in target behaviour) achieved by individuals. Using data from an intervention on daily fruit and vegetable (FV) action planning, this study aimed to test whether individuals' cue detection and execution of the planned behaviour are positively related to overall FV intake.

Immediate effects of a very brief planning intervention on fruit and vegetable consumption: A randomized controlled trial.

Action planning interventions can effectively promote fruit and vegetable (FV) consumption, but not much is known about the day-to-day translation of intervention planning into action. In this randomized controlled trial, immediate intervention effects of a very brief planning intervention on FV consumption during the following 13 days were investigated. After a 13-day pre-intervention diary, N = 206 participants (aged 19-66 years) were randomly allocated to a waiting-list control condition or a planning condition, where they formed one FV plan.

The role of physical exercise as a personal resource against job stress.

The prevention of burnout symptoms is an essential goal in occupational health promotion. Physical exercise provides health-promotion benefits. This study aimed to verify physical exercise and its planned preparation as additional predictors of employees' burnout symptoms next to job demands and resources.

If only I could turn back time-Regret in bereaved parents.

Introduction: Regret about loss is one of the most intense types of regret experienced in life. Little is known about the bereavement regret of parents whose child has died of cancer. Although knowledge about parents' experiences after their child's death is vital for supporting these families, parents' regret is mostly hidden from the treating clinical staff.

Inter-Relations between Partner-Provided Support and Self-Efficacy: A Dyadic Longitudinal Analysis.

Background: Existing evidence indicates that social support may enhance recipients' self-efficacy (enabling hypothesis) or that self-efficacy facilitates support receipt (cultivation hypothesis). However, less is known about the time-lagged support-self-efficacy relationship in couples. Our aim was to disentangle reciprocal interrelations among stable and time-varying components of support provision and self-efficacy in couples over time.

Early palliative care for those who care: A qualitative exploration of cancer caregivers' information needs during hospital stays.

Background: The supporting role of caregivers is crucial to cancer patients' care and well-being. Periods of inpatient hospital treatment are common in the cancer trajectory. There is insufficient systematic knowledge of caregivers' experiences and information needs in hospital context.

Inter-relations among negative social control, self-efficacy, and physical activity in healthy couples.

Objectives: In romantic relationships, partners can influence each other's health-relevant behaviour by exerting negative social control (e.g., pressuring), however, with mixed success.

Early integration of palliative cancer care: patients' and caregivers' challenges, treatment preferences, and knowledge of illness and treatment throughout the cancer trajectory.

Purpose: Early integration of palliative care (EIPC) into oncology is beneficial for cancer patients and their caregivers. Best practice models of EIPC throughout the course of cancer treatment aim to support patients and caregivers in meeting their individual needs. So far, we know little about whether EIPC offers should be phase-specific or patient-centered.
