Physical Activity and Health-related Quality of Life: Dyadic Research in the Context of Forming Individual, Dyadic, and Collaborative Plans. Trial 3
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Individual Planning, Dyadic Planning, and 2 other interventions for Health Behavior. Completed, enrolled 640 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
OBJECTIVE: The project aims at investigating of the effects of three types of planning (individual planning, collaborative planning, and dyadic planning) on physical activity among dyads.The influence of three planning interventions are compared with an active control condition, including physical activity education. PARTICIPANTS: The effects of the interventions are evaluated among dyads of two adults (partner-partner dyads). Adults forming dyads (e.g. two romantic partners, two relatives, two co-workers, two friends) who are in regular contact for at least one year will be enrolled. A minimum of 50 dyads enrolled into the each arm of the trial (a total of 200 dyads). The interventions consist of six planning sessions. DESIGN: The dyads are randomly assigned to one of four experimental conditions. The assessment of the main and secondary outcomes is conducted at the baseline, at 1 week after the first intervention session, at post-intervention (after six intervention sessions are completed), and at 6-, and 12-month follow-ups. OUTCOMES: Physical activity constitutes the main outcome, whereas health-related quality of life (HRQOL), body mass index, and sedentary behavior as well as the self-regulatory strategy called the use of planning (individual, dyadic and collaborative) are secondary outcomes.
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
Participants are filling in the planning forms, referring to their individual physical activity. Both members of the dyad form their own, interdependent plans. The following behavior change techniques (BCT) are included in the planning intervention protocol: action planning, barrier identification, prompting self-talk, relapse prevention/coping planning. Applications of all BCT included references to planning.
Participants are filling in the planning forms jointly. Planning refers to physical activity of only one person in the dyad. The other person in the dyad is actively participating in forming plans by the target person. The following BCT are included in the planning intervention protocol: action planning, barrier identification, prompting self-talk, relapse prevention/ coping planning. Applications of all BCT included references to planning.
Participants are filling in the planning forms jointly. Planning refers to physical activity of both persons in the dyad. Physical activity may be performed jointly by both persons in the dyad. The following BCT are included in the planning intervention protocol: action planning, barrier identification, prompting self-talk, relapse prevention/ coping planning. Applications of all BCT included references to planning.
The education group participants receive extended physical activity and healthy nutrition education program. The education includes: (1) the guidelines for physical activity and healthy nutrition, tailored to age and health status of the participants, (2) the examples of exercises and their metabolic equivalent; (3) information about healthy body mass and body composition.
