Evaluating correlations between physical activity, psychological mediators of physical activity, and negative symptoms in individuals living with psychosis and diabetes.
Psychiatric Rehabilitation Journal 2018 June
OBJECTIVE: This study examines the relationship among physical activity, psychological mediators of physical activity, and negative symptoms in people living with psychosis and prediabetes or Type II diabetes mellitus to identify which variables should be targeted in future physical activity interventions.
METHOD: A total of 63 individuals were recruited and filled out questionnaires with the assistance of trained research staff.
RESULTS: Spearman's correlations showed a positive significant association between physical activity and self-efficacy. Negative significant associations were found between physical activity and negative symptoms of psychosis as well as perceived barriers of physical activity. There was no significant relationship between physical activity and perceived benefits of physical activity.
CONCLUSION AND IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE: Future physical activity interventions need to focus on enhancing the confidence individuals have being physically active and how barriers to activity can be recognized and managed. Interventions should be conducted alongside treatment of negative symptoms of psychosis. (PsycINFO Database Record
