Background: The Self-Efficacy for Home Exercise Programs Scale (SEHEPS) was developed to help clinicians evaluate patients' self-efficacy for performing prescribed home exercise programs. Prior to clinical adoption, the scale's psychometric properties need to be examined.
Objective: To determine the psychometric properties of the SEHEPS.
Methods: Eighty-one patients (32 men, 49 women; mean ± SD age, 42 ± 17 years) with varying musculoskeletal conditions participated in this cohort study. Patients were given a home exercise program at the initial physical therapy visit and completed the SEHEPS and a modified Self-Efficacy for Exercise (SEE) scale. The SEHEPS is a 12-item patient-reported questionnaire designed to assess self-efficacy for prescribed home exercise. Patients rated their confidence on a 7-point scale that ranged from 0 (not confident) to 6 (very confident). Total scores ranged from 0 (low self-efficacy) to 72 (high self-efficacy). We assessed the internal consistency of the SEHEPS using Cronbach's alpha and its test-retest reliability using an intraclass correlation coefficient. Convergent validity between the SEHEPS and SEE scale was evaluated with a Spearman correlation.
Results: High internal consistency ( = .96) and good test-retest reliability (intraclass correlation coefficient = 0.88; SEM, 4; minimal detectable change at the 95% confidence level, 12) were demonstrated. The SEHEPS was strongly correlated with the SEE scale ( = 0.83, <.01), indicating strong convergent validity.
Conclusion: The SEHEPS demonstrates excellent internal consistency and convergent validity with the SEE scale. Overall, the SEHEPS is a clinically useful tool to evaluate a patient's self-efficacy in home-based musculoskeletal exercise programs. This scale can be used prior to prescribing a home exercise program for patients with musculoskeletal conditions.

Background: Complications due to dysphagia are increasingly prevalent among older adults; however, the tediousness and complexity of conventional tongue rehabilitation treatments affect their willingness to rehabilitate. It is unclear whether integrating gameplay into a tongue training app is a feasible approach to rehabilitation.
Objective: Tongue training has been proven helpful for dysphagia treatment.
Effect of a Nurse-Led Support Program Using Mobile Application Versus Nurse Phone Advice on Patients at Risk of Coronary Artery Disease: A Randomized Controlled Trial.

Background: Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a major health problem of atherosclerotic cardiovascular (CV) disease and early intervention is regarded important. Given the proven effect of a lifestyle intervention with nursing telephone counselling and mHealth use in health care, yet the comparisons of both support are lacking, this study is proposed.
Objectives: This study aimed to compare the effects of a coronary artery disease (CAD) support program using a mobile application versus nurse phone advice on exercise amount and physical and psychological outcomes for clients at risk of CAD.
The effects of mobile phone addiction on learning engagement of Chinese college students - the mediating role of physical activity and academic self-efficacy.

Sports Department of Northwestern Polytechnical University, Xi'an, 710021, China.
Background: With the widespread adoption of smartphones, mobile phone addiction has increasingly gained prominence among Chinese college students, exerting a profound and detrimental impact on their learning engagement. This study employs self-determination theory as a framework to examine the mechanisms through which mobile phone addiction affects students' learning engagement. Specifically, it examines the mediating effects of physical activity and academic self-efficacy in this relationship.

Background: Women living with metastatic breast cancer can benefit from physical activity. Presently, there is an absence of research outside of quantitative investigations on the benefits of structured programs. To enable effective physical activity advice and services, it is important to understand factors that may facilitate or prevent engagement.

This study investigates factors influencing physical activity based on the Transtheoretical model (TTM) among adolescents. This study was conducted on 745 individuals between the ages of 12 and 16 years and was analyzed using a generalized linear model (GLM) approach with appropriate link functions using both classical and Bayesian frameworks. The results show that in model 1, the probit link function is a more appropriate approach to determine the risk factors for physical activity.
