Scale to measure compliance to exercise

Recruiting

Conditions: Young healthy individuals

Registration Number: CTRI/2019/02/017869

Lead Sponsor: Ms Vaishnavi Jairaj Suvarna

Brief Summary: This study is a mixed method research aimed to develop and validate a adherence rating scale for health living living. This study has three phases.

Phase 1: Gathering of data for item generation

An extensive literature review will be done to generate an interview set for the Focus group discussion. Three focus groups will be made with adherent to exercise and non-adherent participants individually. Therefore a total of six focus groups will be formed with 8 members in each. Total members for focus group discussion are 48. A focus group discussion will be conducted for each group. This discussion will be audio tape recorded and based on this recording a transcript will generated. This transcript will analyzed through inductive content analysis.

Phase 2: Test Generation

The codes and themes identified from the inductive content analysis of the FGD will be used to generate items of the scale. Once the scale is developed it will be given to 7-9 expects for content validation. The experts are individuals pursing PhD or have completed PhD in Physiotherapy or Psychology. Based on the feedback from the experts, changes in the scale will be made. Translation and back translation of the final draft to Kannada and Hindi will be done.

Phase 3: Feasibility of the scale

The final scale will be given to 105 participants willing to participate in this study along with an exercise protocol to be followed for three weeks. This protocol will be based on WHO recommendations. An exercise log will be given to a close relative of the participant who will be blinded about the protocol. Information from the scale and the exercise log will be compared after three weeks.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Adherence rate will be assessed using exercise log. For tool development: Content validity will be established by the rating of 7-9 subject content experts Reliability will be established with Cronbach alpha score using item analysis	Time point for phases 1: Participants will be called once for focus group discussion. \| Time point for phase 2: The developed scale will be given to 7-9 experts for validation. After the evaluation of the scale, the feedback collected back from the experts \| Time point for phase 3: participants will be called twice with a gap of 21 days. First participants will be given intervention and an adherence dairy After 21 days, they will be called to return the dairy for evaluation.
