Conditions

Behavioral: Increase Physical Activity
Registration Number
NCT06624358
Lead Sponsor
Children's Hospital of Philadelphia
Brief Summary

The goal of this is to test the efficacy of a 12-week physical activity intervention in 64 adolescents with CKD.

Detailed Description

For youth with chronic kidney disease (CKD), cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a leading cause of morbidity and early mortality. Physical activity is a well-recognized determinant of health and quality of life, but, youth with CKD are less physically active than their healthy peers. Identification of effective strategies to increase physical activity in youth with CKD is paramount to improving outcomes. The investigators will test the efficacy of a 12-week physical activity intervention in 64 adolescents with CKD. Guided by the Multiphase Optimization Strategy (MOST) framework, an optimization trial will identify intervention components that increase average daily moderate to vigorous physical activity by 15 min/day, a clinically meaningful increase. The components will be grounded in established behavioral change theories and be delivered via Way to Health, a web-based platform, to overcome barriers at the point of clinical care where time and resources are limited.

Change in time spent in moderate to vigorous physical activity measured by Fitbit over the course of 12 weeks

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Participant feedbackat the end of the 12 week intervention

At completion of 12 week intervention, participants will complete an exit survey to collect feedback about the participant's experience. This is not scored.

PROMIS Anxietypre 12 week intervention and post 12 week intervention

Patient self-report of 15 items from PROMIS anxiety domain. Participants rate their experience using a five point scale ranging from never to almost always. Answers are converted to a t-score to compare to the general population. A higher PROMIS T-score represents more of the concept being measured.

PROMIS Depressive Symptomspre 12 week intervention and post 12 week intervention

Patient self-report of 14 items from PROMIS anxiety domain. Participants rate their experience using a five point scale ranging from never to almost always. Answers are converted to a t-score to compare to the general population. A higher PROMIS T-score represents more of the concept being measured.

PROMIS Positive Affectpre 12 week intervention and post 12 week intervention

Patient self-report of 39 items from PROMIS positive affect domain. Participants rate their experience using a five point scale ranging from never to always. Answers are converted to a t-score to compare to the general population. A higher PROMIS T-score represents more of the concept being measured.

PROMIS Angerpre 12 week intervention and post 12 week intervention

Patient self-report of 9 items from PROMIS anger domain. Participants rate their experience using a five point scale ranging from never to almost always. Answers are converted to a t-score to compare to the general population. A higher PROMIS T-score represents more of the concept being measured.

PROMIS Psychological Stress Experiencespre 12 week intervention and post 12 week intervention

Change in hand grip strength (age and sex based z-scores)pre 12-week intervention and post 12-week intervention

Change in hand grip strength measured by digital hand dynamometer as a age and sex z-score generated from normative data. Z-score is a statistical measurement that describes a values relationship to the mean of a group of values. Values above the mean have positive standard scores, while those below the mean have negative standard scores.
