简要总结
Persons affected by psychosis have a shorter life expectancy mainly due to metabolic disorders. This is partly due to the drugs but also to a sedentary life style.
It is often a life long disorder with decreased overall function and thus need of life long care, both informal and formal. It is also a highly stigmatising disorder.
We are aiming at adding peer mentor led regular physical exercise to the open care of psychosis. it is well-known that physical exercise increase overall function, decrease metabolic risk factors and increase cognition. By using educated peer mentors who will lead the exercise sessions this will have an anti-stigmatising effect and improve self-confidence.
详细描述
Purpose and aims The overall purpose is to integrate peer-mentor supervised regular physical exercise in the open care of persons affected by psychosis. For specific research questions see separate information.
Recruitment of units and mentors Psychiatric open care units who are responsible for care of persons affected by psychosis will be contacted. First in Stockholm then in the rest of Sweden.
Those who are interested will assign 1-2 local contact persons from the staff and recruit 4 potential peer mentors among their patients.
Peer mentor education The peer mentors will be educated to be able to lead physical exercise sessions for other patients. Two units (8 mentors) will be educated together and the local contact persons will also attend. The education consists of three half days and is lead by a person educated in health pedagogics and physical exercise. It consists of theory and practice about physical exercise sessions with focus on circular training. A lof of emphasis will be put put on leadership and encouragement. The curriculum of the education is based on the pilot study.
Recruitment of participants The local contact persons together with the health care staff at the local units will recruit participants to the exercise sessions.
