Many people who experience psychosis spend too much time sitting down and not enough time exercising. To help design effective interventions to help with this we need to understand what helps and hinders physical activity.
A previous study (“Getting more physically active: finding out what helps and hinders”; REC reference 21/WA/0285) indicates that the thoughts people have impact upon the physical activity they do. It is therefore important that we develop ways of assessing problematic thoughts, which can later be targeted in treatment.
The next step is to develop questionnaires:
1) Reasons to be active
2) Reasons to be less active
3) Reasons to stand
4) Reasons to sit
The items making up each of these questionnaires have come from i) interviews and focus groups ii) a lived experience advisory panel.
The questionnaires will be tested to check that they measure what we intend them to measure (validity) and are reliable. We will also remove redundant items which will shorten the questionnaires.
Over 600-1000 patients with diagnoses of psychosis will answer one of two packs of thirteen questionnaires (approximately 30-45 minutes), and provide some brief demographic information (e.g. age, gender, ethnicity etc.). The majority of participants will only answer the questions once. However, a subgroup of around 100 participants will be asked to repeat some of the measures one week after initial participation, for test-retest analysis.
Should they wish, participants may have the opportunity to take part a second time by completing the pack they didn't complete the first time.
A large number of participants are required to assess validity and reliability. We will therefore recruit participants via the Clinical Research Network (CRN), which has research assistants based in NHS Trusts nationwide.
