“…These measurements were made using a self-administered online form of the Exercise Vital Sign Questionnaire (EVS). The EVS questionnaire has acceptable validity (sensitivity=56-59% and specificity=77-78%) and excellent reliability (intraclass correlation coefficient=0.99) (Golightly et al, 2017;Quiles et al, 2019). Additionally, it was utilized to minimize recall bias because it only consists of two questions about structured PA in each period, which are expected to be easily recalled (Falkner et al, 1999).…”

University life is an important phase for forming healthy physical activity habits among university students. However, little is known about the change in physical activity level during the COVID-19 pandemic among university students in Indonesia, which has a low stringency index. A retrospective cohort study was conducted among students of Universitas Gadjah Mada (n=153) from October to November 2020, where there were asked to recall their physical activity level and type of physical activity engaged in at four points of time: before the pandemic, early pandemic, Ramadan period, and relaxation period. Then, we conducted three-way mixed analyses of variance followed by Bonferroni’s post hoc comparisons tests to compare the mean difference of total moderate-vigorous physical activity with a subject over time and between subgroups in a similar time. Containment measures during the pandemic resulted in a 69.4-minute drop (95% confidence interval: 40.1 to 98.7 minutes, p<.001) of total moderate-vigorous physical activity. While the relaxation of containment measures could restore non-health natural science students’ physical activity to the pre-pandemic amount, it did not influence health science students’ physical activity. Our findings provide evidence that pandemic situations in a low stringency index country also affected physical activity behavior among university students. More efforts are needed to increase university students’ physical activity during the COVID-19 pandemic, particularly among health science students.

“…The questionnaire contained five sections, two of which were optional (this was to maximise our responses for the primary objectives). Socio-demographic data, including age category, gender, ethnicity and job role, views about the use of sit-stand desks within general practice, and participation in physical activity (17) were completed first. These were then followed by optional questions about the number of hours worked and total time spent sitting at work each day, and items relating health and wellbeing, including height, weight, feelings of burnout (18), musculoskeletal health (19), and psychological wellbeing (20).…”

The views of GPs about using sit–stand desks: an observational study

et al. 2022

BackgroundOccupational sitting is associated with negative health outcomes. Sit-stand workstations have been shown to reduce sitting time in office workers, although there is no evidence on whether this change to practice would be acceptable to GPs.AimTo investigate GPs views about the use of sit-stand desks within general practice and the potential impact they may have on the nature and quality of consultations with adult patients.Design & settingObservational study involving GPs located across the United Kingdom.MethodA online survey was emailed to members of the Royal College of General Practitioners and shared on social media. Only GPs working in the UK were eligible. The survey included questions on socio-demographics, GPs views about the use of sit-stand desks within their work, their levels of physical activity, total time spent sitting each day at work and time spent at work.Results14,142 surveys were sent by RCGP to their members with 810 GPs responding with a further 33 responding via social media. 60.6% of GPs would like a sit-stand desks in their consultation room, while 19.2% already had one. Most GPs thought sit-stand desks could be used for telephone consultations (91.9%) and administration tasks (92.3%). There was less agreement about whether they could be used during face-to-face consultations (35% agreed), with the potential impact on the doctor-patient relationship raised as the primary concern.ConclusionThe implementation of sit-stand desks had support from GPs, but their possible impact on the doctor-patient relationship should be considered in future research.

BACKGROUNDReports on medium and long-term sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 infections largely lack quantification of incidence and relative risk. We describe the rationale and methods of the Innovative Support for Patients with SARS-CoV-2 Registry (INSPIRE) that combines patient-reported outcomes with data from digital health records to understand predictors and impacts of SARS-CoV-2 infection.METHODSINSPIRE is a prospective, multicenter, longitudinal study of individuals with symptoms of SARS-CoV-2 infection in eight regions across the US. Included are adults fluent in English or Spanish, with self-reported symptoms suggestive of acute SARS-CoV-2 infection, enrolled within 42 days of having a US Food and Drug Administration approved SARS-CoV-2 viral test (i.e., nucleic acid amplification test or antigen test). Recruitment occurs in-person, by phone or email, and through online advertisement. A secure online platform is used to facilitate the collation of consent-related materials, digital health records, and responses to self-administered surveys. Participants will be followed for up to 18 months, with patient-reported outcomes collected every three months via survey and linked to concurrent digital health data; follow-up includes no in-person involvement. Our maximum expected enrollment is 4,800 participants, including 3,600 SARS-CoV-2 positive and 1,200 SARS-CoV-2 negative participants (as a concurrent comparison group). These data will allow assessment of longitudinal outcomes from SARS-CoV-2 infection and comparison of the relative risk of outcomes in individuals with and without infection. Patient-reported outcomes include self-reported health function and status, as well as clinical outcomes including health system encounters and new diagnoses.RESULTSParticipating sites obtained institutional review board approval. Enrollment and follow-up are ongoing.CONCLUSIONSThis study will characterize medium and long-term sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 infection among a diverse population, predictors of sequelae, and their relative risk compared to persons with similar symptomatology but without SARS-CoV-2 infection. These data may inform clinical interventions for individuals with sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 infection.
