Clinical Trial Summary

A sequential, mixed-methods study exploring sedentary behaviour among General Practitioners and General Practice Specialty Trainees.

Description:

The study follows a sequential, mixed-methods model involving three stages. The first stage will involve the dissemination of a questionnaire survey, in which participants will self-estimate their sedentary behaviour on a working day and on a non-working day. The second stage will involve the use of thigh-worn accelerometers and a sleep/work log to obtain objective data regarding sedentary behaviour among a purposive subset of participants who responded to the questionnaire. The third stage will involve semi-structured interviews with a purposive subset of participants who wore the accelerometers, which will be analysed with the application of a theoretical framework regarding the acceptability of healthcare interventions.

Intervention

Other:
• Questionnaire survey
Online questionnaire, based on the International Sedentary Assessment Tool (ISAT)
Device:
• Accelerometer study
Consenting participants will be asked to wear an accelerometer on the lateral aspect of the middle of the right thigh (over the midpoint of the iliotibial band), continuously over a seven-day period.
Other:
• Semi-structured interview study
Semi-structured interviews will take place via telephone or webcam. Participants will be given feedback regarding their accelerometer data relating to their levels of physical activity and sedentary behaviour. Questions will examine participants' thoughts and opinions regarding sedentary behaviour and physical activity in the General Practice setting. Further questions will explore participants' experiences of wearing accelerometers, their knowledge of and attitudes towards physical activity and sedentary behaviour and their thoughts or suggestions on interventions to reduce sedentary behaviour among GPs and GPSTs.
