About this study

The study will test whether an online physical activity program that includes mindfulness can increase activity in women who have been abused by a relationship partner. The study also aims to test whether this intervention can improve their ability to control their emotions and use mindfulness and reduce their stress and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) symptoms. The intervention is on the internet and provides participants with informational videos, as well as support and encouragement from other program participants. The intervention aims to encourage participants to choose their own physical activities and also includes components designed to foster healthy regulation of emotion (addressing negative thoughts and feelings that may get in the way of exercise, recognizing accomplishments and rewarding oneself, etc.) This activity intervention is designed to take eight weeks. Participants are tested initially (at baseline), halfway through the program (Week 4) and at the end of the program (Week 8).

Read the detailed description

The proposed design is a single condition, longitudinal pilot study examining the feasibility of using an online physical activity program to increase physical activity and improve emotion regulation in women who have experienced trauma due to experiencing an abusive or harmful relationship. All participants receive the same intervention. The study will be conducted on the online Wix Classroom platform, which is a secure, online platform to which only participants and research staff will have access. Women who have varying levels of trauma, as determined by the PTSD Checklist-Civilian (PCL-C), will be invited to participate in the study via A Safe Place, an organization to help survivors of intimate partner violence. Participants will complete the online program, and are asked to complete assessments at baseline, 4 weeks, and 8 weeks. Though they will not be required to access the program, their continued use of the program after the end of the 8-week program will be examined for 4 additional weeks. The primary aim of this study is to assess the feasibility of the intervention. Descriptive statistics will be conducted to assess participant engagement (i.e., number of logins, video views, and discussion board posts) and satisfaction (i.e., program acceptability questionnaire responses). Feasibility data will help discern what program components participants found most useful. Longitudinal models will be used to examine the effect of program participation on physical activity, mood and emotion regulation, stress levels, and PTSD symptoms over time.

What participants receive

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

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Global Physical Activity Questionnaire

    A 16-item measure of physical activity participation / sedentary behavior across three settings. We will assess whether participants engage in 150 minutes or more of leisure time physical activity per week. Those who do are ineligible for this study.

    Measured: This measure is completed at baseline and at the eight-week assessment

  2. Post-traumatic Stress Disorder Checklist-Civilian (PCL-C):

    The PCL-C is a 17-item validated measure used to assess the intensity and severity of symptoms of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Each of the items is scored 1 to 5, so scores range from 17 to 85; higher scores indicate more symptoms of PTSD.

    Measured: This measure is completed at baseline and at the 4-week and 8-week assessment

  3. Positive and Negative Affect Schedule (PANAS)

    The PANAS is a 20-item method for assessing both positive and negative affect. The Positive and Negative Affect Scales contain ten items each. Items are scored 1 to 5, so total subscale scores range from 10 to 50, where higher scores indicate greater levels of positive or negative emotion.

    Measured: This measure is completed at baseline and at the 8-week assessment

  4. Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (ERQ)

    The ERQ is a 10-item measure used to assess participants' habitual use of two emotion regulation strategies: cognitive reappraisal (5 items) and expressive suppression (5 items). Scores on each item range from 1 to 7, so the range of subscale scores is 5 to 35, where higher scores indicate greater reliance on reappraisal or suppression.

    Measured: This measure is completed at baseline, at the 4-week, and at the 8-week assessment.

  5. Program acceptability measure.

    This 32-item measure assesses participants' experience of the online program. Participants also self-report their use of the different intervention components and the extent to which they found each component useful. There are 26 questions about participants' satisfaction with the program scored from 1 to 5. Scores will range from 1 to 150 where higher scores indicate greater satisfaction. There are also three questions about frequency of using different program features (scored from 0 to 6; range = 0 to 18; higher scores indicate greater frequency of using program elements. There is one question assessing the number of activity program units participants watched (ranging from 0 to 8, where a higher score indicates greater use of program material). There are 2 questions about participants' interest in continuing to access program materials. No scores will be computed from these questions.

    Measured: This measure is only completed at the 8-week assessment.

  6. Physical activity progress.

    Participants will be asked to share their physical activity tracking for each of the eight weeks of the program by reporting on their daily minutes of physical activity using a provided worksheet.

    Measured: This measure is completed weekly for eight weeks

  7. Affect Grid (Russell et al., 1989).

    This single item measure assesses both activation and valence associated with emotional response. Participants will be asked to report their current emotional state on a 9 X 9 grid that provides information about the valence of their emotional state (from extremeley unpleasant to extremely pleasant) and the intensity (or arousal) of their emotional state (from extreme sleepiness to extreme arousal). Participants' grid choices can be scored as self-ratings of affective valence and intensity on a scale that ranges from 1 to 9 in each case. In short, valence and intensity scores will range from 1 to 9 each week, where higher scores indicate more positive feelings and more intense feelings, respectively.

    Measured: This measure is completed weekly for eight weeks

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Perceived Stress Scale (PSS)

    The 10-item Perceived Stress Scale assesses the level of stress partcipants perceive in their lives. Each item is scored 0 to 4, so total scores can range from 0 to 40, where higher scores indicate reports of greater perceived stress.

    Measured: This measure is completed at baseline, at the 4-week, and at the 8-week assessment.

  2. Online program use

    Data from the online program will be extracted to track participants' use of the online program. Number of logins, number of video views, and number and content from discussion board posts will be extracted for each week of the online program, and during the 4 weeks the program website remains open after the 8-week program has ended

    Measured: Online program use is tracked separately for the eight-week program and for the four weeks following the end of the program

Why it stopped: An insufficient number of prospective volunteers provided informed consent to provide a fair test of whether the intervention would be effective. More people were needed to make shared online feedback and support a useful component.
