An interventional study of Action planning and Coping planning in Disease, Chronic, sponsored by University Ghent. Completed at 1 site in Belgium. Open to participants aged 18 Years and older, including healthy volunteers. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2021-12-06.
Sponsored by University Ghent · Not applicable, Interventional, and Prevention
The aim of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of intervention 'MyPlan 2.0' and the efficacy of the different behaviour change techniques that are included. Eight groups will be created that will receive a different version of the intervention, varying in three behaviour change techniques (action planning, coping planning, self-monitoring).
The effectiveness of the self-regulation-based e- and m-health intervention 'MyPlan 2.0' on changing physical activity and sedentary behaviour in the adult population will be investigated. Furthermore, the role of three different behaviour change techniques (action planning, coping planning, self-monitoring) will be examined via a 2x2x2 design, in which 8 groups are created that all receive a different version of the intervention.
Exclusion Criteria:
Participants will receive the e- and mHealth intervention 'MyPlan 2.0' with all three behaviour change techniques of interest: action planning (AP), coping planning (CP) and self-monitoring (M). They will also receive general tips and tricks and other behaviour change techniques included in the intervention: tailored feedback and eliciting social support.

Participants will receive the e- and mHealth intervention 'MyPlan 2.0' without the three behaviour change techniques of interest (action planning, coping planning, self-monitoring).

Behavioral: Feedback and tips
Action planning is the behaviour change technique used to make users specify their goal (what they are going to do, when, where, ...).
Coping planning is the behaviour change technique used to make users think about possible hindrances and according solutions when trying to reach their goal.
Self-monitoring is the behaviour change technique used to make users keep track of their goal.
In this intervention, users receive tailored feedback on their current health behaviour and tips and tricks to reach their goals. This tips and tricks include the behaviour change technique 'eliciting social support'.
