Abstract [en]

BACKGROUND: A wide range of school interventions have been launched to increase childrens' physical activity. Evaluation of the effectiveness of interventions requires suitable study designs and feasible quantitative evaluations relating to the school setting. The purpose of this study was to assess the evaluation design and methods for data collection, in order to make decisions about approaching forthcoming studies of the effectiveness of active school travel (AST) interventions.

METHODS: Children from four Swedish schools in fifth grade (11-12 years old) participated in this non-randomized pilot study, two schools received an AST intervention and two schools were controls. The school-based AST intervention Sustainable Innovation for Children Transporting Actively (SICTA) was conducted by teachers in the classroom setting during four weeks. To assess feasibility of the evaluation design and methods for data collection a combination of quantitative and qualitative methods were applied, using participation- and response rates, a feasibility questionnaire and focus group interviews.

RESULTS: Out of 25 potential schools, four schools accepted participation with explicit allocation requests preventing randomization. Out of 181 children, 107 children (59%) accepted participation. A total of 82% of the participating children reported active travel before the AST intervention, and 80% found reporting of daily school travels in the web-based survey to be easy. The children were in general positive about participating in the study and the methods for data collection were considered easy for the participating children to conduct and to blend well with usual school activities. There was an imbalance in reporting rates between intervention and control schools as well as a decrease in reporting rates during the study period.

CONCLUSIONS: Our results highlight the complexity and challenges in conducting controlled research among school children. Although children were positive about participation and found reporting to be easy, our results invoke the need to use alternative research designs and recruitment strategies that also attract children using non-active modes of travel when evaluating AST interventions in school contexts.

Abstract [en]

OBJECTIVE: To identify factors, present at 3 months after COVID-19 that are associated with the level of functioning 1 year after hospitalization.

DESIGN: Multicenter prospective observational study.

SETTING: Region Västra Götaland Sweden.

PARTICIPANTS: Patients ≥ 18 years of age who were followed regarding body functions and activities 3 months and 1 year after discharge from a hospitalization for COVID-19.

MAIN MEASURES: Patient-reported outcome measures at 3 months and 1 year, a clinical follow-up at 1 year, and clinical information retrieved from medical charts.

RESULTS: In total 169 participants were included in the analysis, including 113 males (67%). The mean patient age was 66 (standard deviation (SD) 13, range 21-95). One year after hospitalization, 50 (34%) participants were under the normative value for forced vital capacity and 57 (39%) were under normative value for forced expiratory volume in 1 second. The mean walking distance was 441 m (SD 118 m) in the 6-minute walking test, and 62 (40%) patients reported mobility problems. Older age, female sex, and more self-reported symptoms of physical fatigue were significantly associated with lower levels of functioning 1 year after COVID-19. The initial severity of COVID-19 did not significantly influence functioning at 1 year.

CONCLUSION: Previously hospitalized individuals with respiratory difficulties 1 year after COVID-19 may present acceptable lung function on spirometry but be close to their maximal functional performance. The findings highlight the need for in-depth assessments to identify rehabilitation needs.

Abstract [en]

INTRODUCTION: Physical therapy encompasses a broad range of treatment options, often utilized in clinical settings where pharmaceutical interventions are standard. The potential for physical therapy to contribute to sustainable healthcare by reducing environmental impact, while maintaining the quality of care, remains underexplored. This study aimed to map existing research comparing physical therapy to pharmaceuticals, with a specific focus on whether these studies address aspects of sustainable development.

METHODS: A scoping review was conducted, systematically searching the PubMed, Cinahl, and Pedro databases using keywords related to physical therapy, pharmaceuticals, and comparative studies. Two assessors independently reviewed and selected relevant studies, followed by data extraction and summarization of results.

RESULTS: A total of 27 studies were included, varying in design, population, and healthcare context. The most commonly addressed conditions were osteoarthritis and musculoskeletal pain, with analgesics being the most frequently studied pharmaceutical interventions. While several studies touched upon economic and social dimensions of sustainable development, none examined environmental sustainability. This highlights a critical gap in current research.

DISCUSSION: Future studies are needed to assess how physical therapy, when compared to pharmaceutical treatments, can contribute to sustainable healthcare by offering a low-carbon, resource-efficient alternative without compromising social sustainability through adverse effects. This knowledge could be instrumental in guiding healthcare systems toward more sustainable practices.

SYSTEMATIC REVIEW REGISTRATION: A study protocol was registered in Open Science Framework 2023-03-31 (Available from: https://osf.io/we58g).

Abstract [en]

IMPORTANCE: Associations of domain-specific physical activity with stroke incidence and poststroke outcomes have not been extensively studied using long-term, population-based data.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate associations of leisure time, work time, transport, and household physical activity with stroke incidence and death or dependency in activities of daily living (ADL) 3 months after stroke.

DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS: The prospective, population-based Interplay Between Genetic Susceptibility and External Factors (INTERGENE) cohort study was conducted among a random sample of individuals from an urban-rural area covering western Sweden; 3614 individuals aged 24 to 77 years were examined in 2001 to 2004, and 1394 individuals were reexamined in 2014 to 2016. The median (range) follow-up was 20.0 years (56 days to 21.9 years). Data were analyzed from September through October 2023.

EXPOSURE: Physical activity levels were self-reported for leisure time, work time, transportation, and household domains. The mean number of steps taken over a 6-day period was collected in a subgroup of participants using a sealed pedometer.

MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES: Follow-up for stroke incidence and mortality rates continued until December 31, 2022. The composite outcome of death or ADL dependency was assessed at 3 months after stroke.

RESULTS: Among 3614 individuals (mean [SD] age, 51.4 [13.1] years; 1910 female [52.9%]); 269 individuals (7.4%) developed stroke, of whom 120 individuals (44.6%) were dead or ADL dependent at 3 months. Intermediate (adjusted hazard ratio [aHR], 0.54; 95% CI, 0.38-0.77) and high (aHR, 0.47; 95% CI, 0.31-0.73) levels of leisure time physical activity were associated with a reduced incidence of stroke compared with low levels, as was an intermediate level of physical activity in transportation (aHR, 0.69; 95% CI, 0.52-0.93). High levels of leisure time physical activity were also associated with a reduced risk of poststroke death or ADL dependency (adjusted odds ratio, 0.34; 95% CI, 0.16-0.71) compared with low levels. Work time and household physical activity were not associated with stroke incidence or stroke outcomes. In exploratory subgroup analyses, there were interactions between physical activity and smoking (current smoking or smoking in the past year associated with stroke risk only in participants with low or intermediate physical activity: aHR, 2.33; 95% CI, 1.72-3.15) and family history of stroke (first-degree relative with a history of stroke associated with stroke risk only in participants with low or intermediate physical activity: aHR, 1.73; 95% CI, 1.27-2.38).

CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE: In this study, leisure time and transport-related physical activities were associated with a reduced risk of stroke. A high level of leisure time physical activity was also associated with a lower risk of death or ADL dependency 3 months after stroke.

Abstract [en]

BACKGROUND: Swedish undergraduate physiotherapy education lacks comprehensive integration of sustainable development in curricula. Factors related to educators' perspectives in preparing future physiotherapists for sustainable development and sustainable healthcare may shed light on this shortcoming.

AIM: This study aims to describe Swedish physiotherapy educators' (i) consciousness of sustainable development and its inclusion in teaching and learning activities, (ii) ecological worldviews, (iii) attitudes toward sustainability and climate change in physiotherapy, (iv) perceptions of education for sustainable development and sustainable healthcare and (v) examine the relationship between ecological worldview and attitudes toward sustainability and climate change in physiotherapy.

METHOD: A cross-sectional, descriptive study was performed using a digital survey to collect data from educators within undergraduate physiotherapy education at five higher education institutions in Sweden. Data was collected using the Sustainability Consciousness Questionnaire, the New Ecological Paradigm Scale, the Sustainability Attitudes in Nursing Survey 2, and questions related to knowledge, attitudes, and self-efficacy for education for sustainable development and sustainable healthcare.

RESULT: Most, but not all, of the 72 educators, (76%) were aware of Agenda 2030 and the sustainable development goals, and 17% included perspectives related to sustainable development in teaching and learning activities. The educators endorsed an eco-centered ecological worldview and had largely positive overall attitudes toward sustainability and climate change within physiotherapy. However, almost one-third (28%) disagreed that issues about climate change should be included in the physiotherapy curriculum. Most agreed about having content knowledge on climate and health (81%), while a smaller part agreed on having pedagogical content knowledge regarding how to inspire or educate for sustainable development (17-28%). There was also a wide variation in perceived self-efficacy in education for sustainable development and sustainable healthcare.

CONCLUSION: Despite the endorsement of eco-centered ecological worldviews and a rather high consciousness of sustainable development as an overall concept, there remains a disconnect to educational attitudes and actions among Swedish physiotherapy educators. This points to the need to explore the narrative of sustainable development within physiotherapy in Sweden rooted in broader concept understanding, ethics, and reflective practice for sustainable development. A key priority should be to offer new perspectives on professional identity and continuing professional development within sustainable development.

Abstract [en]

Active school travel (AST) is an effective approach for increasing children's physical activity and independent mobility, but policy supporting AST is lacking. This study aims to explore children's experiences of AST to inform a policy recommendation. Photovoice methodology with a qualitative approach was applied, with children taking pictures on their way to school. This was followed by focus groups where the children explored their experiences of AST based on their photos. The data were analyzed using qualitative content analysis. The results show that the children valued independent mobility and wanted to be involved in decisions about their travels; they also expressed feelings of increased responsibility and personal growth as a consequence. Although the children recognized areas of improvement regarding infrastructure, especially regarding heavy traffic that jeopardized travel safety, they continued using AST. Finally, the children talked about the value of the health and environmental benefits of AST. Opportunities for friendship, play, and making decisions about their own time were highlighted as important incentives. The benefits from AST are many for children, as well as for society. The result has informed policy recommendations for AST, and the children's input will be used to communicate the recommendations. Listening to the voices of children could be a steppingstone toward forming future healthy mobility initiatives. In that process, it is key to include children's perspectives when formulating the AST policy for successful adoption and implementation.

Abstract [en]

OBJECTIVE: Stroke unit care is highly recommended after stroke, but patients in these units are often physically inactive. The aim of this study was to explore patient experiences of physical activity and inactivity in the stroke unit.

DESIGN: Qualitative interview study.

SUBJECTS: Sixteen participants with stroke; a heterogeneous sample with differences in sex, age, and stroke severity from 8 Swedish stroke units.

METHODS: In-depth interviews 1-2 weeks after discharge analysed using thematic analysis.

RESULTS: The analysis resulted in three themes: 1: Dealing with the challenges of a changed body while striving to become independent; 2: The stroke unit is crucial for physical activity; and 3: Physical activity is important for interaction with others, autonomy, and feeling seen. Participants described how they coped with a new situation when finding new ways to move and function. In addition, they wanted to be involved in their own stroke rehabilitation.

CONCLUSION: The participants expressed the following experiences of being in the stroke unit: movement is more important than physical activity and involves being seen and respected; physical activity and exercise are necessary to achieve independence; process involvement is of importance to regain abilities; physical activity offers the possibility of choosing between community and being alone and influences the ability to connect with others and the outside world.

Abstract [en]

OBJECTIVE: To investigate how changes in levels of physical activity (PA) in regard to acute disease severity relate to perceived difficulties in performing daily life activities 18 months after COVID-19 infection.

DESIGN: An observational study with an 18-month follow-up survey based on registry data from a national cohort.

PARTICIPANTS: 5464 responders to the 18-month follow-up survey of a Swedish national cohort of 11 955 individuals on sick leave due to COVID-19 during the first wave of the pandemic.

OUTCOMES: The follow-up survey included questions on daily life activities, as well as present and retrospective level of PA. Changes in PA level from before COVID-19 to follow-up were assessed by the Saltin-Grimby PA Level Scale and analysed by the Wilcoxon signed-rank test. Comparisons of groups were analysed by the Student's t-test, Mann-Whitney U test and χ2. Multiple binary logistic regression was performed to assess the association of changes in PA with perceived difficulties in performing daily life activities.

RESULTS: Among the 5464 responders (45% of national cohort), the PA level decreased. Hospitalised individuals had a lower PA level both prior to COVID-19 (p=0.035) and at the 18-month follow-up (p=0.008) compared with non-hospitalised responders. However, the level of PA decreased in both groups. A decrease in PA level increased the odds (OR 5.58, 95% CI 4.90 to 6.34) of having difficulties performing daily life activities.

CONCLUSIONS: PA levels were reduced 18 months after COVID-19 infection. A decrease in PA over that time was associated with perceived difficulties performing daily life activities 18 months after COVID-19. As PA is important in maintaining health and deconditioning takes time to reverse, this decline may have long-term implications for PA and health.

Abstract [en]

AIMS: This study aimed to investigate body function and daily life activities 18 months after Covid-19 infection, depending on the initial severity of disease and according to sex.

METHODS: All 11,955 individuals on sick leave due to Covid-19 during the first wave of the pandemic in Sweden were invited to answer a questionnaire regarding experiencing negative changes in body function and daily life activities approximately 18 months after the start of sick leave. The analysis of data included descriptive statistics, group comparisons and multivariable binary logistic regressions (two groups).

RESULTS: Of 5464 responders (45.7%), 4676 (85.6%) reported experiencing at least one problem with body function, and the reported prevalence of problems with daily life activities was 46%. The most frequently reported problems were fatigue (66.3%), cognition, sleep and movement. In general, women and those initially hospitalised reported more problems. In the regression analyses, problems with body function could partly explain whether individuals experienced problems with daily life activities. However, only fatigue and movement significantly contributed throughout all groups (p<0.001). Furthermore, the odds ratios for fatigue were larger in regressions for women than for men.

CONCLUSIONS: In this nationwide study, more than 8 out of 10 individuals experienced problems with body function 18 months after being on sick leave due to Covid-19, with women and those initially hospitalised reporting more problems. Problems with body function, such as fatigue, could partly explain problems with daily life activities. However, the mechanisms behind the consequences are not yet clear and need to be further investigated.

Abstract [en]

Objectives: This study aimed to longitudinally follow self-reported symptoms of depression, anxiety, post- traumatic stress disorder, and fatigue during the first year after hospitalization because of COVID-19.

Design: The study was an observational longitudinal study.

Methods and participants: Between July 2020, and February 2021, 211 patients aged >= 18 years, hospitalized >= 5 days at 5 hospitals in Region V & auml;stra G & ouml;taland, who had COVID-19, and were non-contagious (at study enrolment) were included in the baseline assessment. Of these, 168 (79.6%) patients completed mental health questionnaires at a 3-month follow-up, and 172 (83.1%) at a 12-month followup. A total of 120 (56.9%) participants who completed at least 1 questionnaire at both the 3- and 12-month follow-ups were analysed; the majority were male (n= n = 78, 65.0%).

Results: There was an improvement in all patients from 3 to 12 months on the fatigue subscales "reduced activity" (p p = 0.02) and "physical fatigue" (p= p = 0.04). No other significant mental health improve ments were found. At 12 months, 34 (28.4%) were classified as having anxiety symptoms, 29 (24.1%) as having depression symptoms, and 40 (33.3%) had symptoms of probable post- traumatic stress disorder.

Conclusions: Participants in the present study did not report full mental health recovery 1 year after hospitalization for COVID-19.
