About this study

Official title: Motivational Intervention of Exercise in Patients With Psychosis

The purpose of this study is to determine whether motivational intervention is effective in promoting exercise habit in patients with psychosis.

Read the detailed description

The current study aims to investigate the beneficial effect of motivational intervention in promoting exercise habit in patients with psychosis. Outpatients will be recruited and will be randomized to a 12-week motivational intervention program. They will be assessed for their clinical symptoms, cognitive function, physical fitness, and quality of life.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Motivational InterviewingBehavioural

    Motivational Interviewing is a patient-centered, tailored counselling intervention for exercise, through which patients' motives to change are identified. Personal ideas and ambivalence are explored. The discrepancies between the present behavior and the patient's own future goals are amplified. The patient's intrinsic motivation for change is increased through the process.

  • Health EducationBehavioural

    General education about healthy lifestyle and diet.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

Are results available for this study?

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Physical Activity Level (time frame: 12 weeks). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
