Participants in the goal-setting intervention group (relative to comparison group) would have higher quality goals and action plans (GET-D), as evidenced by a comparison of group means.
We expected that participants with higher quality goals and action plans (GET-D) would also have higher patient activation scores (PACIC), greater self-efficacy for diabetes self-management (DSES), and lower reported depression (DASS).
Based on previous research [ 22], we expected that participants with lower self-reported depressive symptoms at baseline would write higher quality goals and action plans (GET-D) as evidenced by a modest negative correlation between the measures.
Participants with greater patient activation scores at baseline and after the intervention would write higher quality goals and action plans (GET-D), as evidenced by a modest positive correlation between the measures.
Based on previous research [ 7], we expected that participants with greater self-efficacy for diabetes self-management before and after the intervention period would write higher quality goals and action plans (GET-D), as evidenced by a strong positive correlation between the measures.
"It was a high-quality goal from a high-quality player.
After Suarez had celebrated a precise set-piece with an almost embarrassed smile, the visitors scored a high-quality goal of their own to blemish Liverpool's defence.
"I thought we were very good for the first 15 [minutes], starting on the front foot and scoring two high-quality goals on the counter," Dyche said.
Goal-setting and action planning components (e.g., worksheets to stimulate collaborative construction of high-quality goals and action plans) were incorporated throughout physical and emotional heath modules.
To identify criteria that define high-quality goals, and establish content validity, we began with a review of key behavioral change theories related to goal setting and action planning, Locke & Latham's Goal Setting Theory [ 11] and Schwarzer's Health Action Process Approach [ 12].
In future ULIS studies, demonstration of competency in high quality, unbiased goal setting will be an essential prerequisite for centre participation.
