El objetivo del presente estudio trata de identificar la relación existente entre la calidad de vida percibida relacionada con la salud, y la práctica de actividad física realizada de manera habitual en un grupo de empleados públicos. Método. Un total de 125 trabajadores del Servicio de salud del Ayuntamiento de Sevilla cumplimentaron el cuestionario de salud SF-36 versión 2 AGUDA para determinar su calidad de vida relacionada con la salud en el ámbito laboral, así como un cuestionario de preguntas de carácter general indicando el tipo y frecuencia de actividad física que realizaban. Resultados. Para todas las dimensiones del cuestionario, el estado de salud está dentro del rango promedio, siendo las dimensiones de función física y vitalidad las que presentan una mejor puntuación. Conclusión. Los trabajadores que no realizan actividad física tienen una peor percepción de su salud o por lo menos comparada con la del año anterior, mientras que los que si realizan actividad física de manera regular presentan respuestas indicadoras de una percepción más positiva de su calidad de vida relacionada con su salud.Palabras clave: Calidad de vida relacionada con la salud (CVRS), calidad de vida laboral (CVL), actividad física, SF-36 versión 2 AGUDA, escalas o dimensiones de la salud.Abstract: The aim of this study is to identify the correlation between perceived quality of life regarding health and the regular practice of physical exercise, in a group of public sector workers. Method: A total of 125 workers from the Seville Council Health Service completed the SF-36 version 2 AGUDA health survey, in order to rate their quality of life regarding health in the work sphere, along with a general question survey indicating the type and frequency of the physical activity they do. Results: In all parts of the survey the state of health falls within the average range, the highest scores being those of physical function and vitality. Conclusion: The workers who do no physical exercise have a worse perception of their health, at least compared with that of last year, while those who do regular physical activity score more positive results concerning their perception of their quality of life in terms of health.Keywords: Quality of life regarding health (QLRH), quality of working life, physical activity, SF-36 version 2 AGUDA, scales or dimensions of health.

IntroductionTreatment-resistant schizophrenia (TRS) is a severe form of schizophrenia. In the European Union, approximately 40% of people with schizophrenia have TRS. Factors such as the persistence of positive symptoms or higher risk of comorbidities leave clinicians with a complex scenario when treating these patients. Intervention strategies based on mHealth have demonstrated their ability to support and promote self-management-based strategies. Mobile therapeutic attention for treatment-resistant schizophrenia(m-RESIST), an innovative mHealth solution based on novel technology and offering high modular and flexible functioning, has been developed specifically for patients with TRS and their caregivers. As intervention in TRS is a challenge, it is necessary to perform a feasibility study before the cost-effectiveness testing stage.Methods and analysisThis manuscript describes the protocol for a prospective multicentre feasibility study in 45 patients with TRS and their caregivers who will be attended in the public health system of three localities: Hospital Santa Creu Sant Pau (Spain), Semmelweis University (Hungary) and Gertner Institute & Sheba Medical Center (Israel). The primary aim is to investigate the feasibility and acceptability of the m-RESIST solution, configured by three mHealth tools: an app, wearable and a web-based platform. The solution collects data about acceptability, usability and satisfaction, together with preliminary data on perceived quality of life, symptoms and economic variables. The secondary aim is to collect preliminary data on perceived quality of life, symptoms and economic variables.Ethics and disseminationThis study protocol, funded by the Horizon 2020 Programme of the European Union, has the approval of the ethics committees of the participating institutions. Participants will be fully informed of the purpose and procedures of the study, and signed inform consents will be obtained. The results will be published in peer-reviewed journals and presented in scientific conferences to ensure widespread dissemination.Trial registration numberNCT03064776; Pre-results.
