What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

• International Physical Activity Questionnaire-Short FormOther

  Also called IPAQ-SF

  IPAQ has been developed to obtain valid and comparable information about the level of physical activity based on individual reports on daily physical activity in the international arena. This form consists of 7 questions; provides information about time spent in walking, moderate and violent activities, and time spent sitting. The calculation of the total score of the short form includes total of duration and frequency whom walking, moderate activity and severe activity. The energy required for the activities is calculated by the MET-minute score.Standard MET values for these activities has been established. These; Walking = 3.3 MET;Moderate Severe Physical Activity = 4.0 MET;Severe Physical Activity = 8.0 MET;Seating = 1.5 MET.Classification is based on the numerical data obtained.Accordingly,there are 3 activity levels: Inactive,minimal active and very active.

• The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality IndexOther

  Also called PSQI

  It is a scale that provides information about the sleep quality of the individuals and the type and severity of the sleep disorder in the last month. It consists of 24 questions, 19 of which are evaluated. The PSQI consists of 1 total score and 7 sub-dimensions (subjective sleep quality, sleep latency, sleep duration, usual sleep efficiency, sleep disturbance, sleep medication use, daytime dysfunction). Each item in the scale has a value between 0 (no distress) and 3 (serious distress). The sum of the scores related to the seven sub-dimensions gives the total PSQI score. The score of each sub-dimension ranges from 0 to 3. The total PSQI score ranged from 0 to 21. While the sleep quality of the patients with a total score of 5 and below is considered as 'good'; >5 refers to poor sleep quality.

• The Fatigue Severity ScaleOther

  Also called FSS

  Each question on this scale, which is composed of Likert type questions: 1.I strongly disagree 2.I do not agree 3.No tend to disagree 4. Indefinitely. The score of the scale, which consists of 9 questions, varies between 9-63. People are asked to mark the appropriate options for each question taking into account their status in the last 1 month period.

• General Information FormOther

  A form, which is prepared by us, including the purpose of the study, demographic information, daily working hours and assignment durations.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

1. The level of physical activity

   International Physical Activity Questionnaire-Short Form (IPAQ-SF) consists of 7 questions;provides information about the level of physical activity in the last 7days.The calculation of the total score of the form includes total of duration and frequency whom walking,moderate activity and severe activity.The MET-minute scores;Walking 3.3MET,Moderate Severe Physical Activity 4MET,Severe Physical Activity 8MET,Seating 1.5MET.Classification is based on the numerical data obtained.Accordingly,there are 3 activity levels: Inactive,minimal active and very active.The lowest level of physical activity is inactive and the highest level of physical activity is very active.

   Measured: 1 month
