فهم ارتباط الكفاءة الذاتية والمزاج والتركيبة السكانية بالنشاط البدني لدى اللاجئين السوريين والعراقيين: دراسة مقطعية في الأردن.
Objective. Tis cross-sectional study aimed at investigating the infuence of sociodemographic factors on physical activity among
Syrian and Iraqi refugees in Jordan. In addition, it sought to determine the predictive ability of self-efcacy and mood in relation to
the level of physical activity in this population. Methods. A convenient sample of refugees residing in Jordanian cities was
collected. Participants completed a self-administered questionnaire pack consisting of a demographic data sheet, a physical
activity level questionnaire, the Brunel Mood Scale, and the General Self-Efcacy Scale. Descriptive analysis was used to analyze
demographic details, while the chi-square test examined the association between physical activity and demographic factors. Te
independent t-test assessed diferences in self-efcacy and mood subscales in relation to physical activity. Logistic regression
analysis was employed to identify potential predictors of the two categories of physical activity. Results. Most participants reported
low levels of physical activity. Te frequency of moderate-to-high physical activity was higher in male participants, those with
higher education, better health, and higher income. Compared to participants of low physical activity, those in the moderateto-high physical activity category expressed signifcantly higher mean score of self-efcacy but lower mean scores of tension,
depression, anger, vigor, fatigue, and confusion, indicating better mood. Te logistic regression analysis for physical activity
indicated that the model was signifcant for education, income, good health perception, self-efcacy, and one mood subscale
(vigor), with these variables collectively accounting for 11?18% of the variance (P value <0.001). Conclusion. Te higher physical
activity level is signifcantly associated with being male, higher education, higher income, better health, higher self-efcacy, and
increased vigor. Tese fndings highlight the importance of considering sociodemographic factors and psychological aspects, such
as self-efcacy and mood, when addressing physical activity among refugees in Jordan.
