28 Sep 2018 - 10:05 by michelle.foster

You are invited to take part in a research study to explore a therapeutic approach called ‘Move a Little and Often’. This study is specifically for people who have long term conditions and low mood.

The purpose of the approach ‘Move a Little and Often’ is to reduce prolonged periods of sitting or lying down because spending a lot of time sitting or lying down during the day harms your health.

eople living with long term conditions and who also have low mood are likely to spend a lot of time sitting. An interview study was previously carried out to find out more about the day to day challenges people with these conditions face. The results of the interview study helped to develop this approach.

Volunteers are now sought to try out the approach and to give feedback. The reseach intends to find out whether the approach had any impact on prolonged sitting and lying down. Feedback is also needed on how you found it and how the approach can be improved.

The research study is part of a PhD programme.
