Aims: Wearable devices are a new strategy for promoting physical activity in a free-living condition that utilizes self-monitoring, self-awareness, and self-determination. The main purpose of this study was to explore health benefits of commercial wearable devices by comparing physical activity, sedentary time, sleep quality, and other health outcomes between individuals who used and those that did not use commercial wearable devices. Methods: The research design was a cross-sectional study using an Internet survey in Taiwan. Self-administered questionnaires included the International Physical Activity Questionnaire–Short Form, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, Health-Promoting Lifestyle Profile, and World Health Organization Quality-of-Life Scale. Results: In total, 781 participants were recruited, including 50% who were users of wearable devices and 50% non-users in the most recent 3 months. Primary outcomes revealed that wearable device users had significantly higher self-reported walking, moderate physical activity, and total physical activity, and significantly lower sedentary time than non-users. Wearable device users had significantly better sleep quality than non-users. Conclusion: Wearable devices inspire users’ motivation, engagement, and interest in physical activity through habit formation. Wearable devices are recommended to increase physical activity and decrease sedentary behavior for promoting good health.

The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between physical activity levels and life quality of Amasya University students. The universe of the study consists of university students studying in 6 faculties of the University of Amasya during the 2018-2019 academic year and the sample is composed of 331 (162 female, 169 male) university students. As data collection tools, in order to determine the level of physical activity (Craig, et al., 2003) by the improved validity and reliability study in Turkey (Öztürk, 2005) in order to determine the International Physical Activity Questionnaire. For the deremination of life quality, Fidaner’s (1999) “World Health Organization Quality of Life Scale Short Form” was used. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistical methods, independent sample t-test and single factor variance analysis (One-Way ANOVA). As a result of the analyses; 262 students attending the research stated that the physical activity areas of the faculties were insufficient and 69 students stated that they were sufficient. When the body mass indexes of the participants were examined, it was found that the majority of 76.4 % of the participants had normal BMI (Global Database on BMI, WHO, 2004) classification. A significant difference was found in the psychological and environmental dimensions of students’ life quality in goodness of the students habiting at home. When it is classified according to physical activity score, it is seen that 65 students studying at the Faculty of Education have a high Met level, while 33 students studying at the Faculty of Medicine have low Met level. It was concluded that students with high levels of MET have higher total life quality scores than students at other levels of MET.

Lower Limb Amputee

This cross-sectional descriptive study was initiated to investigate the relationship between physical activity and perceived quality of life in a lower-limb amputee population. The objective was to show which aspects of physical activity were most strongly linked to quality-of-life factors in this special patient group. The outcome measurements were two questionnaires: a section of the Trinity Amputation and Prosthetic Experience Scales (TAPES) and the World Health Organization Quality-of-Life Scale (WHOQOL-Bref). The former measures activity restriction and has Athletic, Functional, and Social subscales. The latter includes Physical, Psychological, Social, and Environmental domains, and measures the individual's perception of their quality of life. The two questionnaires were sent by post to 75 male and female participants with either trans-tibial or trans-femoral amputation who were receiving prosthetic care from a Glasgow-based rehabilitation and mobility centre and who met the inclusion criteria. All participants were over 18 years of age (mean age 66 years). In total, 25 participants returned the questionnaires—a response rate of 33%. According to analysis, 8 of the 12 relationships found were statistically significant. There was a very strong correlation between scores on the social elements of each questionnaire. The correlations between scores on the functional and athletic elements of the TAPES questionnaire and scores on the social element of the WHOQOL-Bref questionnaire were less strong. Our findings support the need for greater acknowledgement by healthcare professionals involved in the care of those with amputation about the importance of the patient's social relationships with friends and family. Education about the importance of increasing and maintaining a level of physical activity conducive to health benefits should be implemented within a supportive sociable environment for the patient with lower-limb amputation.

In this research it was aimed to examine of the quality of life according to physical activity status of parents who have disabled individual. In the study using the descriptive survey model, convenience sampling was used for the creation of the sample. The parents of 164 disabled individuals(132 mother; =40,5±8,90) ve 32 father; =46,21±9,74) who attended to various special education institutions in Sakarya province participated in the research. The children of the participating families have autism, mental, visual, hearing and physical disabilities. In this study, a Family Information Form, which was prepared by the researcher, was used to reach the demographic informations of parents. With the aim of measuring the quality of life in parents, World Health Organization Quality of Life-Bref Form (WHOQOL-BREF), which was adopted to Turkish by Eser and his friends (1999) and for measuring the level of physical activity of parents, International Physical Activity Questionnaire-Short Form (IPAQ), which was adoped to Turkish by Öztürk (2005) were used in the study. All data were collected by face-to-face interview technique. WHOQOL-BREF scale consists of 5 sub-dimensions including the physical area, psychological area, social area, environmental area and environmental TR area created by adding a question in Turkish adaptation and 27 questions. The Cronbach's alpha coefficient of physical area subscale is .77., psychological area subscale is .71, social area is .61, environmental area is .81 and environmental area Turkey is .78. IPAQ self-administered 'last 7 days' short form was used in this study. The form provides information on time spent on walking, moderate-severe and violent activities. The calculation of the total score of the short form is based on the sum of time (minutes) and frequency (days) (Öztürk, 2005). After the descriptive statistical processes had been applied in the  analysis of datas, an independent t-test and chi-square test to detect from which groups the differences between the groups originate. Data was evaluated by using SPSS for Windows 15 software.As a result, the fact that the quality of life parents who have disabled individual and doing sport was found to be at a higher level of those who have individual but not doing sport. In addition to this doing sport was detected to increase the quality of life parents who have a disabled individual. As a result, it is thought that the parents of physically active parents have higher quality of life and physical activity levels and as a result they will provide a better and healthier life for their children.Their families are thought to be the first step in raising awareness and guiding them in order to enable them to live as healthy families and to raise healthy individuals. ÖzetBu araştırmada, engelli bireye sahip ebeveynlerin fiziksel aktivite durumlarına göre yaşam kalitelerinin incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Tarama modeli kullanılan çalışmada, örneklemin oluşturulmasında kolayda örnekleme yönteminden yararlanılmıştır. Araştırmaya Sakarya ilinde çeşitli özel eğitim kurumlarına devam eden 164 engelli bireyin ebeveynleri (132 anne ve 32 baba) katılmıştır. Çalışmaya katılan ailelerin çocukları otizm, zihinsel, görme, işitme, bedensel engele sahiptirler. Kişilerin demografik bilgilerine ulaşma amaçlı araştırmacı tarafından hazırlanan aile bilgi formu, ebeveynlerin yaşam kalitesini ölçmeye yönelik Eser vd.’nin (1999) Türkçe’ye uyarladığı Dünya Sağlık Örgütü Yaşam Kalitesi Ölçeği-Kısa Formu (WHOQOL-BREF) ve ebeveynlerin fiziksel aktivite düzeylerini ölçmek için Öztürk’ün (2005) Türkçe’ye uyarladığı Uluslararası Fiziksel Aktivite Anketi-Kısa Form (IPAQ) kullanılmıştır. Tüm veriler yüz yüze görüşme tekniği ile toplanmıştır. WHOQOL-BREF ölçeği bedensel alan, ruhsal alan, sosyal alan, çevresel alan ve Türkçe’ye uyarlamada bir sorunun eklenmesiyle oluşturulan çevresel TR alan olmak üzere toplam 5 alt boyuttan ve 27 sorudan oluşmaktadır. Alt boyutlara ait iç tutarlılık katsayıları sırasıyla, .77, .71, .61, .81, .78 olarak tespit edilmiştir. IPAQ ölçeği yürüme, orta-şiddetli ve şiddetli aktivitelerde harcanan zaman hakkında bilgi vermektedir ve skorunun hesaplanması süre (dakika) ve frekans (gün) toplamından yapılmaktadır. Elde edilen verilerin analizinde betimsel istatistiksel işlemler uygulandıktan sonra, değişkenler arası farklılıkları ölçmek amacıyla independent samples t-test ve ki-kare testi yapılmıştır. Veriler SPSS 15.0 programında değerlendirilmiş ve anlamlılık düzeyi olarak 0.05 kullanılmıştır. Analiz sonuçları incelendiğinde, fiziksel aktivite yapan engelli bireye sahip ebeveynlerin bedensel alan hariç tüm alanlarının ve fiziksel aktivite düzeylerinin fiziksel aktivite yapmayanlardan yüksek olduğu bulunmuştur. Dolayısıyla fiziksel aktivitenin ruhsal, sosyal, çevresel yaşam kalitesini olumlu yönde etkilediği ve fiziksel aktivitenin engelli bireye sahip ebeveynlerin yaşam kalitesini yükselttiği söylenebilir. Sonuç olarak, fiziksel aktivite yapan ebeveynlerin yaşam kalitelerinin ve fiziksel aktivite düzeylerinin daha yüksek olduğu buna bağlı olarak da çocukları için daha güzel ve sağlıklı bir yaşam sunabilme imkânları olacağı düşünülmektedir. Aileleri bu konuda bilinçlendirmek ve yönlendirmek onların daha sağlıklı aileler olarak yaşamasına ve sağlıklı bireyler yetiştirmesine imkân sağlamak için atılması gereken ilk adım olarak düşünülmektedir.

Background: Crucial evidence gaps regarding: (1) the joint association of physical activity and sedentary time with health outcomes and (2) the benefits of light-intensity physical activity were identified during the development of recommendations for the World Health Organization Guidelines on physical activity and sedentary behavior (SB). The authors present alternative ways to evidence the relationship between health outcomes and time spent in physical activity and SB and examine how this could be translated into a combined recommendation in future guidelines. Methods: We used compositional data analysis to quantify the dose–response associations between the balance of time spent in physical activity and SB with all-cause mortality. The authors applied this approach using 2005–2006 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey accelerometer data. Results: Different combinations of time spent in moderate- to vigorous-intensity physical activity, light-intensity physical activity, and SB are associated with similar all-cause mortality risk level. A balance of more than 2.5 minutes of moderate- to vigorous-intensity physical activity per hour of daily sedentary time is associated with the same magnitude of risk reduction for all-cause mortality as obtained by being physically active according to the current recommendations. Conclusion: This method could be applied to provide evidence for more flexible recommendations in the future with options to act on different behaviors depending on individuals’ circumstances and capacity.

Abstract Background In July, 2019, the World Health Organization (WHO) commenced work to update the 2010 Global Recommendations on Physical Activity for Health and established a Guideline Development Group (GDG) comprising expert public health scientists and practitioners to inform the drafting of the 2020 Guidelines on Physical Activity and Sedentary Behavior. The overall task of the GDG was to review the scientific evidence and provide expert advice to the WHO on the amount of physical activity and sedentary behavior associated with optimal health in children and adolescents, adults, older adults (> 64 years), and also specifically in pregnant and postpartum women and people living with chronic conditions or disabilities. Methods The GDG reviewed the available evidence specific to each sub-population using systematic protocols and in doing so, identified a number of gaps in the existing literature. These proposed research gaps were discussed and verified by expert consensus among the entire GDG. Results Evidence gaps across population sub-groups included a lack of information on: 1) the precise shape of the dose-response curve between physical activity and/or sedentary behavior and several of the health outcomes studied; 2) the health benefits of light-intensity physical activity and of breaking up sedentary time with light-intensity activity; 3) differences in the health effects of different types and domains of physical activity (leisure-time; occupational; transportation; household; education) and of sedentary behavior (occupational; screen time; television viewing); and 4) the joint association between physical activity and sedentary time with health outcomes across the life course. In addition, we acknowledge the need to conduct more population-based studies in low- and middle-income countries and in people living with disabilities and/or chronic disease, and to identify how various sociodemographic factors (age, sex, race/ethnicity, socioeconomic status) modify the health effects of physical activity, in order to address global health disparities. Conclusions Although the 2020 WHO Guidelines for Physical Activity and Sedentary Behavior were informed by the most up-to-date research on the health effects of physical activity and sedentary time, there is still substantial work to be done in advancing the global physical activity agenda.

AbstractThe recognition of the importance of evaluating the quality of life of patients with schizophrenia highlighted the importance ofdeveloping appropriate instruments. In this paper we review the available quality of life instruments focusing on their conceptual framework, structure, administration and psychometric properties. First, we address the generic instruments that have been validated for schizophrenic populations, namely the World Health Organization Quality of Life Assessment (WHOQOL), the Medical Outcome Study (MOS) 36-Item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36) and the EuroQoL-5 Dimensions (EQ-5D). Then, we focus on instruments that have been specifically developed for patients with schizophrenia and other or severe mentally illness such as the Quality of Life Scale (QLS), the Quality of Life Interview (QoLI), the Lancashire Quality of Life Profile (LQoLP), the Sevilla Quality of Life Questionnaire (SQLQ), the Personal Evaluation of Transitions in Treatment (PETIT), and the Quality of Life Questionnaire in Schizophrenia (S-QoL).

OBJETIVO: Avaliar o impacto da dor na percepção da qualidade de vida (QV) de intérpretes da língua brasileira de sinais (libras) atuantes em escolas de ensino fundamental da rede pública municipal de Aparecida de Goiânia, Goiás.MÉTODOS: O estudo contou com uma amostra de 22 profissionais intérpretes de libras. Para avaliar a QV foram utilizados os questionários Medical Outcomes Study 36 - Item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36) e o World Health Organization Quality of Life Scale Brief Version (Whoqol-Bref) e para a mensuração de dor a Escala Visual Analógica (EVA). O software estatístico SPSS versão 20 foi utilizado para descrição e a correlação entre os escores de cada domínio dos questionários de QV e EVA. A significância estatística adotada foi de p<0,05.RESULTADOS: A média geral do questionário SF-36 foi de 63,88, sendo as médias dos domínios: capacidade funcional (77,72), limitação por aspectos físicos (77,27), dor (58,40), estado geral de saúde (54,27), vitalidade (50,90), aspectos sociais (68,18), limitação por aspectos emocionais (62,12), saúde mental (62,18). A média para dor da EVA foi de 4,64. A média geral do questionário Whoqol-Bref foi de 63,73, sendo as médias dos domínios: físico (65,25), psicológico (68,75), relações sociais (64,76) e meio ambiente (56,11). Na correlação entre a EVA e os domínios do SF-36: EVA e capacidade funcional (-0,410); EVA e limitação por aspectos físicos (-0,212); EVA e dor (-0,721); EVA e estado geral de saúde (- 0,606); EVA e vitalidade (-0,548); EVA e aspectos sociais (-0,402); EVA e limitações por aspectos emocionais (-0,223); EVA e saúde mental (-0,456). Na correlação entre a EVA e os domínios do Whoqol-Bref: EVA e físico (-0,593); EVA e psicológico (-0,358); EVA e relações sociais (-0,531); EVA e meio ambiente (-0,434).CONCLUSÕES: Os profissionais intérpretes de libras não apresentam uma ótima percepção de QV. A remuneração, empregos concomitantes ou extensão da carga horária, e o desgaste físico e mental durante o processo interpretativo contribuíram para uma percepção de QV pouco elevada.

Background: A better understanding of the effects of the lockdown on lifestyle behaviors may help to guide the public health response to COVID-19 at a national level and to update the global strategy to respond COVID-19 pandemic. The aim of the study was to examine the effects of the COVID-19 lockdown on device-measured physical activity (PA), sedentary time, sleep and self-regulation; and to determine whether PA and sleep are related to self-regulation problems during the lockdown. Methods: PA, sedentary time and sleep were assessed using accelerometry in the week in which the Spanish national state of alarm was declared (n = 21). Parents reported preschooler’s self-regulation difficulties (internalizing and externalizing) before (n = 268) and during the lockdown (n = 157) by a validated questionnaire. Results: Preschoolers showed a decrease in total PA (mean difference [MD] = −43.3 min per day, 95% CI −68.1 to −18.5), sleep efficiency (MD = −2.09%, 95% CI −4.12 to −0.05), an increase in sedentary time (MD = 50.2 min per day, 95% CI 17.1 to 83.3) internalizing (MD = 0.17, 95% CI 0.06 to 0.28) and externalizing (MD = 0.33, 95% CI 0.23 to 0.44) problems. Preschoolers who met the World Health Organization recommendations for PA had lower internalizing scores than non-active peers (MD = −1.28, 95% CI −2.53 to −0.03). Conclusions: Our findings highlight the importance of meeting PA recommendations to reduce psychosocial difficulties during a lockdown situation.

Background:Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic, autoimmune inflammatory condition that affects 0.5% of the adult population worldwide (1). Sedentary behavior (SB) is any waking behavior characterized by an energy expenditure of ≤1.5 METs (metabolic equivalent) and a sitting or reclining posture, e.g. computer use (2) and has a negative impact on health in the RA population (3). Sleep is an important health behavior, but sleep quality is an issue for people living with RA (4, 5). Poor sleep quality is associated with low levels of physical activity in RA (4) however the association between SB and sleep in people who have RA has not been examined previously.Objectives:The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between SB and sleep in people who have RA.Methods:A cross-sectional study was conducted. Patients were recruited from rheumatology clinics in a large acute public hospital serving a mix of urban and rural populations. Inclusion criteria were diagnosis of RA by a rheumatologist according to the American College of Rheumatology criteria age ≥ 18 and ≤ 80 years; ability to mobilize independently or aided by a stick; and to understand written and spoken English. Demographic data on age, gender, disease duration and medication were recorded. Pain and fatigue were measured by the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), anxiety and depression were assessed using the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), and sleep quality was assessed using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index. SB was measured using the ActivPAL4™ activity monitor, over a 7-day wear period. Descriptive statistics were calculated to describe participant characteristics. Relationships between clinical characteristics and SB were examined using Pearson’s correlation coefficients and regression analyses.Results:N=76 participants enrolled in the study with valid data provided by N=72 participants. Mean age of participants was 61.5years (SD10.6) and the majority 63% (n = 47) were female. Participant mean disease duration was 17.8years (SD10.9). Mean SB time was 533.7 (SD100.1) minutes (8.9 hours per day/59.9% of waking hours). Mean sleep quality score was 7.2 (SD5.0) (Table 1). Correlation analysis and regression analysis found no significant correlation between sleep quality and SB variables. Regression analysis demonstrated positive statistical associations for SB time and body mass index (p-value=0.03846, R2 = 0.05143), SB time and pain VAS (p-value=0.009261, R2 = 0.07987), SB time and HADS (p-value = 0.009721, R2 = 0.08097) and SB time and HADSD (p-value = 0.01932, R2 = 0.0643).Conclusion:We found high levels of sedentary behavior and poor sleep quality in people who have RA, however no statistically significant relationship was found in this study. Future research should further explore the complex associations between sedentary behavior and sleep quality in people who have RA.References:[1]Carmona L, et al. Rheumatoid arthritis.
