Cultural adaptation and reliability of the ‘Global Physical Activity Questionnaire’ in patients with heart failure in Greece

Background Physical activity constitutes an important factor for the assessment of quality of life of people with heart failure. The Global Physical Activity Questionnaire has never been used for the evaluation of physical activity of people with heart failure. Aims The purpose of this study was to translate the Global Physical Activity Questionnaire into Greek and examine its reliability in 120 patients with heart failure. Methods The reliability of the tool was examined in a sub-population of the sample (30 patients with heart failure), 15 days after the first completion of the questionnaire. Findings Total score of physical activity was low (458.99 METs-minutes/week), whereas sedentary behaviour was very high (741.43 minutes/week). There was no decline between the first and second measurements, and the two measurements were statistically significantly correlated. Conclusions The findings provide evidence that the Greek version of the Global Physical Activity Questionnaire is a reliable tool for assessing the physical activity of Greek patients with heart failure.

O objetivo do estudo foi analisar as relações entre o envolvimento em diferentes atividades motoras, de acordo com a frequência de prática, e a percepção da qualidade de vida de adolescentes. Participaram do estudo 773 adolescentes das escolas estaduais de Paranaguá (Paraná), com idade de 14 a 19 anos. Por meio de um questionário autoaplicável, foram coletadas informações sociodemográficas, a atividade motora (Physical Activity Questionnaire for Adolescents) e percepção da qualidade de vida (Pediatric Quality of Life InventoryTM, versão 4.0). Adolescentes que praticavam futebol (p < 0,005), basquete (p < 0,005), lutas (p < 0,005), musculação (p < 0,001), tênis/tênis de mesa (p < 0,005), natação (p < 0,0005), voleibol (p < 0,005), ginástica na academia (p < 0,005) e andavam de bicicleta (p < 0,005) apresentaram percepção mais positiva de qualidade de vida em diferentes domínios. Os domínios da qualidade de vida com mais atividades motoras associadas foram “saúde e atividade” e “convívio com outras pessoas”. Envolvimento em diversas atividades motoras associou-se a melhor percepção da qualidade de vida, diferindo-se conforme frequência. Adolescentes que praticavam uma ou duas vezes por semana o futebol, basquete, lutas, natação, corrida, tênis/tênis de mesa e mus- culação, também como, os que praticavam, de três ou mais vezes na semana, a caminhada, voleibol, fazer exercício em academias de ginástica, corrida e andavam de bicicleta apresentaram percepção mais positiva da qualidade de vida que os não praticantes.

Nghiên cứu nhằm mục tiêu mô tả mức độ vận động thể lực (VĐTL) theo khuyến cáo ở người bệnh tăng huyết áp tại bệnh viện đa khoa Trung tâm Tiền Giang năm 2020. Thiết kế mô tả cắt ngang trên 279 người bệnh tăng huyết áp điều trị ngoại trú bằng phỏng vấn trực tiếp với công cụ GPAQ (Global physical activity questionnaire). Kết quả cho thấy người bệnh tăng huyết áp trong nghiên cứu có cường độ VĐTL đạt mức khuyến cáo là 70,6%. Đối tượng có học vấn trung học phổ thông trở lên tham gia VĐTL đạt khuyến cáo cao hơn (77,6% so với 63,9%) có ý nghĩa thống kê (p = 0,03). Người bệnh có công việc buôn bán liên quan cường độ VĐTL thấp hơn tiêu chuẩn với p = 0,01. Nghiên cứu nhận định sự tuân thủ VĐTL ở người bệnh còn hạn chế trong quản lý bệnh tăng huyết áp. Các yếu tố liên quan như sự hỗ trợ xã hội, đặc điểm côngtrình an sinh công cộng và yếu tố tâm lý nên được khảo sát ở nghiên cứu tiếp theo.

The goal of this study was to develop a Korean version of the Global Physical Activity Questionnaire (K-GPAQ) and to examine its reliability and validity. The English version of the GPAQ was translated to the Korean language (K-GPAQ) via forward–backward translation. Reliability of the K-GPAQ was evaluated using a one-week interval test–retest method with 115 individuals. Criterion-related validity of the K-GPAQ was examined with 199 participants using accelerometers. Cohen’s kappa and Spearman’s correlation coefficients were used to measure test–retest reliability and validity, respectively. A Bland–Altman analysis was used to assess agreement between physical activity (PA) levels measured via K-GPAQ and the accelerometer. Coefficients for the reliability of the K-GPAQ showed moderate agreement for recreational PA and slight agreement for work-related PA (Cohen’s kappa: 0.60–0.67 for recreational PA and 0.30–0.38 for work-related PA and Spearman’s rho: 0.27–0.47 for work-related PA and 0.53–0.70 for recreational PA). Criterion validity of the total amount of PA, as measured by the K-GPAQ and the accelerometer, showed a weak but significant correlation ( r = 0.34, p < 0.01). The K-GPAQ is a reliable and valid questionnaire to measure PA although K-GPAQ overestimated PA levels.
