Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Sleep deprivation and emotional problems such as stress, anxiety and depression commonly occur in university students. Exercise is beneficial to ameliorate those problems however university students are not serious to uptake physical activity. Commercially available exergame such as Xbox 360 Kinect is one of the alternatives. This study aims to investigate the feasibility and the potential efficacy of using Xbox 360 Kinect game among healthcare undergraduate students. A pilot two-armed parallel randomized controlled trial was implemented. A total of 36 undergraduate students was recruited and randomly allocated into the intervention group (playing Xbox 360 Kinect) or the control group (continue with normal daily routine). The intervention group received 30 minutes of Xbox Kinect activity, three times per week for six weeks. Information on psychology (DASS-21) and sleep (FOSQ-30) status were collected at pre- and post-experiment. The researcher-developed feasibility questionnaire was given to the participants in the intervention group at post-experiment. Repeated-measures ANOVA analysis was used to investigate within-between group comparison and significant value was set at p≤0.05. The analysis found potential improvement on sleep (p=0.039) and psychological health (p=0.002-0.067). The intervention protocol is feasible and highly accepted by the participants. Required optimum amount of dosage, sample size and used of outcome measures are suggested from the findings. This pilot and feasibility study support the use of Xbox 360 Kinect games in practice and to be implemented for future research.

SINGLE

Outcome Assessors

i) A number of assessors from occupational therapy students will be recruited. This is to allow for randomization possibility on assessment responsibility.

1. Pre-evaluation is conducted randomly by accident by an independent assessor with an occupational therapy background without knowing which participant in which group. There is no specific client on specific assessor.
2. The post-evaluation is conducted randomly by accident by an independent assessor with an occupational therapy background. There is no specific client on specific assessor.

ii) Information among participants is kept confidential and blinding from each other. No cross-over is allowed to reduce bias.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Intervention Group

A session 30 minutes of exercise game activities using the Xbox 360 Kinect will be performed by each participant for 6 weeks, 3 times per week. Games use for the activity are Sports Kinect and Sports Kinect 2. The activity can be performed in solo or in pairs with another participant. The game activity will be played only at the site chosen for this study.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Xbox 360 Kinect

Intervention Type DEVICE

A session 30 minutes of exercise game activities using the Xbox 360 Kinect will be performed by each participant. Games uses for the activity are Sports Kinect and Sports Kinect 2. Xbox 360 Kinect - the players themselves become the ''game controller'' via their body movements and gestures, Kinect-enabled game titles lend themselves comfortably to the class of exercise games.

Control Group

No standard activity is provided for the participants. The participants will continue with their normal daily life activities.

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION
