Abstract

BackgroundHealth behaviour is central to the prevention and management of chronic diseases (Fisher et al., ). Behaviour change interventions for physical activity in clinical settings are complex and usually include a variety of behaviour change techniques. Action planning is a self‐regulation technique that can help rehabilitation patients to embed physical activity in their daily routines after discharge (Janssen, De Gucht, van Exel, & Maes, ; Ziegelmann, Lippke, & Schwarzer, ). Making an action plan to achieve a desired behaviour change includes multiple discrete components, such as specifying a behavioural response (i.e., what to do), an occasion or time (i.e., when), a place (i.e., where), and an activity partner (i.e., with whom). Implementation intentions, also called ‘if‐then’ plans (Gollwitzer, , ), are a specific form of action plans which explicate a set of anticipated contextual cues, and explicitly link them with a behavioural response.Efficacy of planning interventions: From unconditional to conditional outcomesSystematic reviews have generally supported the merits of using these planning techniques for promoting health behaviour change (Gollwitzer & Sheeran, ), including energy‐related behaviours such as physical activity (Bélanger‐Gravel, Godin, & Amireault, ) and healthy eating (Adriaanse, Vinkers, De Ridder, Hox, & De Wit, ).
