简要总结
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if a movement program called "Dance-Walk" can improve body awareness, energy levels, and mental health in adults seeking mental health support. The main questions it aims to answer are:
Does Dance-Walk help people feel more connected to their bodies? Does Dance-Walk increase people's energy and vitality? Does Dance-Walk improve mental health by reducing depression, anxiety, and stress?
Researchers will compare people who do Dance-Walk right away to people who wait to do the program later to see if Dance-Walk works to improve mental health.
All participants will fill out online surveys about their mood, energy levels, and body awareness at the start of the study. Then, every participant will be randomly placed into one of two groups - one group will start Dance-Walk right away, the other will wait. Participants who will be assigned to the first group will attend 4 weekly Dance-Walk sessions that combine movement, dance, and walking. All participants will fill out the same surveys again after the 4-week program. Participants who will be assigned to the second group will get to do the Dance-Walk program after the first group finishes.
Each Dance-Walk session will focus on helping people tune into their body feelings and use movement to manage emotions and stress. The program is designed to help people feel more energetic and improve their overall mental well-being.

结局指标
主要结局
Multidimensional Assessment of Interoceptive Awareness Scale-2 (MAIA-2) (Mehling et al., 2018)
时间窗: Baseline to immediately post-intervention (approximately 4 weeks)
Assesses multiple dimensions of interoceptive awareness, including noticing (score range: 0-20), not-distracting (score range: 0-30), not-worrying (score range: 0-25), attention regulation (score range: 0-35), emotional awareness (score range: 0-25), self-regulation (score range: 0-20), body listening (score range: 0-15), and trusting (score range: 0-15). Higher scores indicate greater interoceptive awareness (better outcome).
Subjective Vitality Scale (SVS) (Ryan & Frederick, 1997)
时间窗: Baseline to immediately post-intervention (approximately 4 weeks)
Measures feelings of energy and aliveness (score range: 0-47). Higher scores indicate greater subjective vitality and energy levels (better outcome).
次要结局
- Depression Anxiety Stress Scales-21 (DASS-21) (Lovibond & Lovibond, 1995)(Baseline to immediately post-intervention (approximately 4 weeks))
- Positive Mental Health Scale (PMH-Scale) (Lukat et al., 2016)(Baseline to immediately post-intervention (approximately 4 weeks))
