Evaluation of a Smartphone-delivered Peer-led Physical Activity Counselling Program for Manual Wheelchair Users

Subjective physical activity (Leisure-Time Physical Activity Questionnaire (LTPA))

Self-reported frequency (number of bouts) and duration (min per bout) of light, moderate and heavy intensity PA over the past 7 days.

Time frame: Change in LTPA from baseline to post-intervention (10 weeks post-baseline) and at follow-up (3 months post-intervention

Wheelchair skills capacity and performance (Wheelchair Skills Test- Questionnaire (WST-Q))

Subjective evaluation of the skills capacity and performance of 32 manual wheelchair skills.

Time frame: Change in WST from baseline to post-intervention (10 weeks post-baseline) and at follow-up (3 months post-intervention

Physical activity motivation (Behavioural Regulation in Exercise Questionnaire (BREQ-2))

Subjective evaluation of motivation for physical activity is measured using 5 subscales of regulation: external, introjected identified, intrinsic and amotivation.

Time frame: Change in BREQ-2 from baseline to post-intervention (10 weeks post-baseline) and at follow-up (3 months post-intervention

Perceived autonomy support (Health Care Climate Questionnaire (HCCQ))

Subjective evaluation of perceived autonomy support

Time frame: Change in HCCQ from baseline to post-intervention (10 weeks post-baseline) and at follow-up (3 months post-intervention

Satisfaction of psychological needs (Psychological Need Satisfaction in Exercise Scale (PNSES))

Subjective evaluation of satisfaction of psychological needs (i.e. autonomy, competence, relatedness) for physical activity will be measured only in the intervention group.

Time frame: Change in PNSES from baseline to post-intervention (10 weeks post-baseline) and at follow-up (3 months post-intervention

Self-efficacy to overcome barriers to leisure-time physical activity (Leisure-time Physical Activity Barrier Self-efficacy Scale)

Subjective evaluation of self-efficacy to overcome salient barriers to physical activity participation (e.g. when faced with transportation problems, bad weather, pain and fatigue).

Time frame: Change in Self-efficacy to overcome barriers to leisure-time physical activity from baseline to post-intervention (10 weeks post-baseline) and at follow-up (3 months post-intervention

Wheelchair use self-efficacy (Wheelchair Use Confidence Scale Short Form (WheelCon-SF))

Subjective evaluation of situations that challenge self-efficacy while using a manual wheelchair.

Time frame: Change in WheelCon-SF from baseline to post-intervention (10 weeks post-baseline) and at follow-up (3 months post-intervention

Satisfaction with participation in physical activity using a wheelchair (Wheelchair Outcome Measure (WhOM))

A semi-structured interview that allows participants to select important physical activity/wheelchair mobility participation goals. The importance and current level of satisfaction is evaluated.

Time frame: Change in WhOM from baseline to post-intervention (10 weeks post-baseline) and at follow-up (3 months post-intervention

Measure of self-efficacy in performing functional activities of daily living in individuals with Spinal Cord Injury (Moorong Self Efficacy Scale - MSES)

Subjective evaluation of self-efficacy in carrying out activities of daily living. Minimum value 1 and maximum value 7. A higher score indicates a higher perceived self efficacy.

Time frame: Change in MSES from baseline to post-intervention (10 weeks post-baseline) and at follow-up (3 months post-intervention

Measure the degree to which individuals who have experienced traumatic or incapacitating illness achieve reintegration into normal social activities (Reintegration to Normal Living Index - RNLI)

Subjective evaluation of the reintegration to normal living activities

Time frame: Change in RNLI from baseline to post-intervention (10 weeks post-baseline) and at follow-up (3 months post-intervention
