| dc.description.abstract | Understanding patient factors related to physical
activity behavior is important in th
e management of Type 2 Diabetes.
This study applied the Theory of Planned Behavior model to
understand physical activity behavior among sampled Type 2
diabetics in Kenya. The study was conducted within the diabetic
clinic at Kisii Level 5 Hospital and adopted sequential mixed
methods design beginning with qualitative phase and ending with
quantitative phase. Qualitative data was analyzed using grounded
theory analysis method. Structural equation modeling using
maximum likelihood was used to analyze quantitative data. The
common fit indices revealed that the theory of planned behavior
fitted the data acceptably well among the Type 2 diabetes and within
physical activity behavior {
