Summary

People with long term conditions such as diabetes and arthritis, and who also have depression spend a lot of time sedentary during the day. This is because they face many barriers to being active, such as pain and fatigue. Being sedentary is problematic because it is associated with poorer health in the long term.

Common sedentary behaviours are watching television and using the computer; these behaviours are labelled as screen-based sedentary behaviours. An intervention to reduce these behaviours could improve mental and physical wellbeing. The aim of the study is to explore the acceptability of an intervention to "Move a Little and Often" in people with depression symptoms and long term conditions. The investigators will explore the intervention's acceptability using interviews and will examine if the intervention is associated with a reduction in time spent sedentary. Results will help refine the intervention further.

The feasibility study is part of a PhD project funded by the National Institute of Health Research (NIHR) Collaborations for Leadership in Applied Health Research and Care (CLAHRC) Greater Manchester

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

A plan to Move a Little and Often

The intervention content is reported using the behaviour change technique (BCT) Taxonomy v1 (Michie, et al. 2013). The video will contain the BCT: information about health consequences. The booklet will consist of BCTs: self-monitoring of behaviour, goal setting behaviour, action planning, commitment, social support (practical), self-talk, and mental rehearsal of successful performance. Lastly, usage of the Facebook group will include BCTs: commitment, and social support unspecified, practical and emotional. Mental rehearsal, goal setting behaviour and action planning will be delivered through mental simulation exercises (Taylor, et al. 1998). BCTs self-monitoring of behaviour, goal setting behaviour, and commitment will be delivered using implementation intentions (Gollwitzer 1993).
