  • Purpose
    The study aims were to examine motivation factors for behavioral modification among individuals with metabolic syndrome at each stage of behavioral change.
  • Methods
    The correlational research design was used to explore motivation factors of self-efficacy, perceived benefits, perceived barriers, and emotional salience to explain health behaviors. Total of 239 patients with metabolic syndrome completed the structured questionnaire and the data were analyzed by SPSS/WIN 22.0 for ANOVA and multiple regression analysis.
  • Results
    The average age of participants were 59 years old, and 52.3% perceived their health relatively worse than others. The motivation and health behaviors except for smoking cessation were significantly different at each stage of planning, preparation, and action-maintenance. The motivation factors explained 25% of variance in health behavior at planning stage, 38% at preparation stage, and 31% at action-maintenance stage. Self-efficacy and perceived barriers were significant pre-dictors at the planning and action-maintenance stages, while self-efficacy was a significant predictor at preparation stage.
  • Conclusion
    The performance of health behaviors was significantly different at the stages of change along with a different set of motivation factors. Nursing strategies should focus on cognitive and emotional motivation factors to lead initiation and maintenance of behavioral modification in individuals with metabolic syndrome.
