A total needs satisfaction variable was created for analyses.
Well-being was also indirectly enhanced through improvements in autonomy-support and needs satisfaction.
To understand this evolution, it is necessary to assure patients needs satisfaction.
Further, psychological needs satisfaction mediated between 10% and 44% of the HEPA-Effort – well-being relationship.
The theoretical aspect of QOL relates to happiness, life satisfaction and needs satisfaction approaches.
Exploring the residual causal sequence revealed that the intervention indirectly enhanced MVPA through partial mediation of autonomy-support, needs satisfaction and intrinsic motivation and indirectly enhanced well-being through autonomy-support and needs satisfaction.
However, the HCP had an indirect effect on well-being through autonomy-support and needs satisfaction, confirming H5.
Consistent with SDT, the MVPA variance was explained through partial mediation of autonomy-support, needs satisfaction and intrinsic motivation (H4).
Mediator 1 (M1) refers to autonomy-support, mediator 2 (M2) as needs satisfaction, and mediator 3 (M3) as intrinsic motivation.
Furthermore, existing studies have either excluded the well-being [17 20] or needs satisfaction [15] components of SDT in their model.
In model 2, well-being was indirectly enhanced through autonomy-support (β = .38) and autonomy-support and needs satisfaction in sequence (total r 2 = .21).21
