Promoting physical activity in older adults with type 2 diabetes via an anthrop...
Pimenta, Nuno; Félix, Isa Brito; Monteiro, Diogo; Marques, Marta Moreira; Guerreiro, Mara PereiraIntroduction: Anthropomorphic conversational agents (ACA) are a promising digital tool to support self-management of type 2 diabetes (T2D), albeit little explored. There is a dearth of literature on the detailed content of these interventions, which may limit effectiveness and replication. Our aim is to describe the development of an evidence and theory-based intervention to improve physical activity in older a...

The NoHoW protocol: a multicentre 2×2 factorial randomised controlled trial inv...
Scott, Sarah Ellen; Duarte, Cristiana; Encantado, Jorge; Evans, Elizabeth H; Harjumaa, Marja; Heitmann, Berit Lilienthal; Horgan, Graham WIntroduction Obesity and associated diseases place a severe burden on healthcare systems. Behavioural interventions for weight loss (WL) are successful in the short term but often result in weight regain over time. Self-regulation of eating and activity behaviours may significantly enhance weight loss maintenance (WLM) and may be effectively augmented by contextual behavioural approaches to emotion regulation. ...
Efficacy of a randomized controlled self-regulation based physical activity int...
Marques, Marta Moreira; de Gucht, Véronique; Leal, Isabel Pereira; Maes, StanObjective: Examine the medium-term effects of a brief physical activity (PA) self-regulation (SR) based intervention (4-STEPS program) for chronic fatigue, and explore the mediating effects of PA related variables and SR skills. Methods: A two-arm randomized controlled trial (Usual Care vs 4-STEPS) was carried out. The 4-STEPS program consisted of Motivational Interviewing and SR-skills training. Fatigue severi...

Marques, Marta Moreira; De Gucht, Véronique; Gouveia, Maria João Pinheiro Morais; Cordeiro, Andreia; Leal, Isabel Pereira; Maes, StanAim: The Checklist of Individual Strength (CIS20) is a well validated measure of fatigue severity, which has been adapted in several languages. As Portuguese is one of the most widely spoken languages in the world it is important to have a Portuguese adaptation of the CIS20. Method: Four hundred and thirty healthy Portuguese adults and 89 patients with chronic fatigue (CF) filled out the Portuguese version of t...
