About this study
Official title: Examining the Impact of a Self-compassion Intervention on Physical Activity Behaviour: An Efficacy Trial
The investigators plan to examine whether teaching people at risk for type two diabetes to use self-compassion (orientation to care for oneself during difficult situations) helps them self-manage and increase their physical activity. People at risk for type 2 diabetes will learn about their type 2 diabetes risk and strategies to increase their physical activity, which represents the recommended information that people at risk for type two diabetes should receive. In addition to this, some participants, but not all, will be taught to be self-compassionate in relation to their type two diabetes risk and their efforts to increase their physical activity. The investigators expect that people who receive the additional training about how to be self-compassionate will engage in more physical activity than people who do not and they will do so because of self-compassion's positive effect on aspects of self-management - adaptive reactions and a tendency to use strong self-management skills. This study is important for health promotion because it allows the investigators to determine whether they can improve how they currently help people prevent type 2 diabetes through engaging in physical activity.
Read the detailed description
The primary research objective of this efficacy trial is to determine if a self-compassion intervention can lead to a clinically significant increase in engagement in physical activity as compared to usual care (best behaviour change practice) in individuals with prediabetes.
Primary research question: Will a self-compassion intervention that augments usual care lead to greater increases in physical activity over 12 weeks post-intervention follow-up than usual care alone among people with prediabetes? Primary hypothesis: Self-compassion will lead to greater increases in physical activity than usual care at intervention-end and at 6- and 12-weeks.
Secondary research question: Will the effects of a self-compassion intervention on physical activity at 6- and 12-weeks post intervention be mediated by (i) negative affect (ii) physical activity self-regulatory skills and (iii) personal growth at baseline and intervention-end? Secondary hypothesis: The effects of self-compassion on physical activity behaviour at 6- and 12-weeks will be mediated by i) affect and ii) self-regulatory skill use assessed at baseline and intervention-end.
Tertiary research question: Will a self-compassion intervention that augments usual care lead to greater increases in other health-promoting behaviours (e.g., nutrition, stress management, seeking medical attention)? Tertiary hypothesis: Self-compassion will lead to greater increases in health-promoting behaviours than usual care at intervention end, 6-weeks and 12-weeks post intervention.
This efficacy trial is a single centre, randomized, active controlled, eight week intervention with baseline and follow-up assessment at intervention-end, 6- and 12-weeks post-intervention. It follows a quantitative-dominant, mixed-methods design. The investigators will compare the change in physical activity of community-dwelling people with prediabetes randomized to usual care in the form of behaviour change + attention (control condition) to that of participants who receive usual care + self-compassion training (intervention condition). The investigators will also examine potential mediators of the intervention (i.e., negative affect, physical activity self-regulatory skill use).
They will supplement this trial with interviews after follow-up testing with a subsample of self-compassion intervention participants. These interviews will provide feasibility information from participants (e.g., receptivity) as well as provide a qualitative assessment of the investigators' outcome measures.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Control GroupBehavioural
Eight week behavioural change program aimed to increase physical activity plus information on general health topics among individuals with prediabetes.
Intervention GroupBehavioural
Eight week behavioural change program plus a self-compassion intervention aimed to increase physical activity among individuals with prediabetes.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Control Group | Active comparator | Session 1: Participants will meet individually with a research assistant to discuss their type 2 risk, discuss benefits of engaging in 150 minutes of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity per week, and set a physical activity goal. Ideal Care will involve: Session 2: Introductions and Goal setting/planning. Session 3: Monitoring Physical Activity Session 4: Action and Coping Planning. Session 5: Self-Efficacy (master and vicarious experiences). Session 6: Self-Efficacy (modeling experiences, verbal persuasion). Session 7: Physical Activity Enjoyment and Barriers. Session 8: Making long-term Change. The last 30 minutes of sessions 2-6, control participants will receive 30-minutes of non-self-compassion or physical activity related health education (i.e., sleep, screen time, blood pressure, cholesterol, benefits of water, benefits of vitamin D, the Infodemic). Receives: Behavioral: Control Group |
| Intervention Group | Experimental | Session 1: Participants will meet individually with a research assistant to discuss their type 2 risk, discuss benefits of engaging in 150 minutes of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity per week and set a physical activity goal. First 30 minutes of each subsequent session will be ideal care (as described above in the control group). Last 30 minutes of sessions 2-6, self-compassion condition participants will learn to apply self-compassion to their prediabetes experience and physical activity. Session 2: Introduction to self-compassion. Session 3: Yin and Yang of self-compassion. Session 4: Mindfulness. Session 5: Mindfulness and Resistance. Session 6: Meeting Difficult Emotions. Session 7: Embracing the Good. Session 8: Applying Self-compassion to Physical Activity and Moving Forward. Receives: Behavioral: Intervention Group |

People at risk for type 2 diabetes will learn about their type 2 diabetes risk and strategies to increase their physical activity, which represents the recommended information that people at risk for type two diabetes should receive.
