Trial Outcomes & Findings for Enhancing Quality of Life Through Exercise: A Tele-Rehabilitation Approach (NCT NCT02833935)
NCT ID: NCT02833935
Last Updated: 2023-09-18
Results Overview
Measure to assess changes in autonomous and controlled types of motivation for reasons why one would exercise/engage in physical activity throughout the intervention. A total scale score range of 1 (not at all true) to 7 (very true) will be used to respond to 15 items. A mean score of participants' autonomous (6 items; " Because I personally believe it is the best thing for my health.") and controlled motivation (6 items; "Because I want others to approve of me.") will be calculated. A higher value indicates greater autonomous and or controlled types of motivation.

Physical Activity Intervention Group
Physical Activity Intervention: The PA intervention will be delivered in a virtual face-to-face format using the secure and confidential "Remote Education, Augmented Communication, Training and Supervision" online video-based software. Intervention participants will receive 8 PA sessions over 2 months (1/week), following collaborator specific telephone-based PA counselling protocol. The counsellor will individually tailor her approach to each participant by understanding the participant's past and current PA experiences, motives to be physically active, salient concerns and barriers regarding PA, and physical home environment. Throughout the intervention, the PA counsellor and participants will co-construct and collaboratively adapt the intervention with the participants.
|
Control Group
Control Group: For participants assigned to the control group, they will be asked to continue with their regular routine for the next two months. Otherwise, the participants in this group will be asked to complete the follow-up baseline questionnaires at 6 and 10 weeks post-baseline. They will be contacted by a physical activity counsellor at the end of the 10-week period.

Physical Activity Intervention Group
n=12 Participants
Participants will complete a baseline questionnaire (week 1) about their demographic information, self-determination theory variables, their current physical activity, and other psychological indicators. They will complete the same questionnaire at two additional time points. First, about halfway through the intervention (week 6), and then at the end (week 10). Participants in the physical activity intervention group will also receive 8 1-hour physical activity sessions over 2 months (1/week) with a trained physical activity counselor through a video-based internet platform.

PRIMARY outcome
Timeframe: Baseline, Week 6, and Week 10Measure to assess changes during the intervention in the basic psychological needs for exercise as per self-determination theory. Data will be collected at baseline, week 6, and week 10 for both participant groups. On a 6-point likert scale ranging from 1 (false) to 6 (true), participants will respond to 18 items reflecting how they might feel when physically active. After summating all items, a total mean score was calculated for autonomy (6 items; "I feel free to exercise in my own way"), competence (6 items; "I feel that I am able to complete exercises that are personally challenging"), and relatedness (6 items; "I feel close to my exercise companions who appreciate how difficult exercise can be"). A higher value indicates greater need satisfaction. Total values are reported in the data table as a sum of all 3 categories (Score range is 3-18).

SECONDARY outcome
Timeframe: Baseline, Week 6, and Week 10Measure to assess participation in daily and social activities. Participants will be presented with a list of 26 activities. For each activity, they are asked, "Do you participate in this activity?" Response options are "Yes, as much as I want" (4); "Yes, but less than I want"(3); "No, but I would like to" (2); and "No, but I don't want to" (1). An overall participation in daily and social activities score will be calculated as well as six sub-scale scores reflecting broad categories of participation will be summed. The 6 subscales are autonomous participation- indoors (7 items, range 7-28), autonomous participation-outdoors (6 items, range 6-24), family roles (4 items, range 4-16), health (2 items, range 2-8), social relationships (4 items, range 4-16), work-education (3 items, range 3-12). Each sub-scale is calculated by adding the scores of the individual items. A higher score of each category indicates greater participation.

OTHER_PRE_SPECIFIED outcome
Timeframe: Baseline, Week 6, and Week 10This measure consists of a battery of short questionnaires assessing psychosocial predictors of leisure time exercise activity such as self-efficacy, intentions, and action planning among adults with spinal cord injury. Intentions were measured with 2 items and participants responded on a scale (1-strongly disagree 7-strongly agree). Action planning was measured with 4 items and participants responded on a scale (1-definitely false 7-definitely true). Barrier self efficacy was measured with 6 items and task efficacy was measured with 8 items and participants responded on a scale (1-not at all confident 7-completely confident). A higher score on each of the questionnaires indicated higher levels (e.g., greater intentions, self-efficacy, and action planning).

Physical Activity Intervention Group
n=10 Participants
Physical Activity Intervention: The PA intervention will be delivered in a virtual face-to-face format using the secure and confidential "Remote Education, Augmented Communication, Training and Supervision" online video-based software. Intervention participants will receive 8 PA sessions over 2 months (1/week), following collaborator specific telephone-based PA counselling protocol. The counsellor will individually tailor her approach to each participant by understanding the participant's past and current PA experiences, motives to be physically active, salient concerns and barriers regarding PA, and physical home environment. Throughout the intervention, the PA counsellor and participants will co-construct and collaboratively adapt the intervention with the participants.
|
Control Group
n=12 Participants
Control Group: For participants assigned to the control group, they will be asked to continue with their regular routine for the next two months. Otherwise, the participants in this group will be asked to complete the follow-up baseline questionnaires at 6 and 10 weeks post-baseline. They will be contacted by a physical activity counsellor at the end of the 10-week period.

OTHER_PRE_SPECIFIED outcome
Timeframe: Baseline, Week 6, and Week 10Measure to assess changes in all 6 motivational regulations as per self-determination theory asking reasons why individuals engage in exercise/physical activity during the intervention. Participants will respond to 23 items (e.g, "I don't see why I should have to exercise"), on a 5-point Likert scale ranging from 0 (not true for me) to 4 (very true for me), covering the types of motivational regulations on the self-determination continuum. The mean score of participants' autonomous and controlled motivation will be calculated. A higher mean score indicated a higher level of that type of motivation. Outcome measure data are not presented because of missingness.
