Trial summary

Anxiety that turns into an over-generalized and repetitive form is called rumination. When the literature was reviewed, rumination was found to be associated with depression and anxiety, but its applicability to physical activity (PA) behaviors has been largely overlooked.

About this study

Anxiety that turns into an over-generalized and repetitive form is called rumination. When the literature was reviewed, rumination was found to be associated with depression and anxiety, but its applicability to physical activity (PA) behaviors has been largely overlooked. Only a few studies have examined the relationship between rumination and PA behaviors. The study was designed with the aim of determining the Turkish cultural adaptation, validity and reliability of the "Physical Activity-Specific Rumination Scale for Children (PARS-C)" questionnaire developed for children in England in order to determine the intrinsic factors affecting participation in PA.

Read the detailed description

Rumination is the individual's persistent thinking about the negative mood, symptoms, possible causes and consequences; however, it is defined as not taking action to solve the problem. When the literature was reviewed, it was found that rumination in children was associated with depression and anxiety, but information about its applicability to PA behaviors is limited. Only a few studies have examined the relationship between rumination and PA behaviors. The importance of identifying the intrinsic barriers and facilitators that affect participation in FA in children is frequently emphasized. For this purpose, the "Physical Activity-Specific Rumination Scale for Children (PARS-C)" scale, which evaluates the relationship between FA and rumination, was developed for the first time in England. It has been reported that PARS-C is a useful tool to evaluate children's PA-specific rumination tendencies and to improve our understanding of the role of rumination in PA behavior, but its applicability to other cultures requires further research. The present study was designed with the aim of determining the Turkish cultural adaptation, validity and reliability of the "Physical Activity-Specific Rumination Scale for Children (PARS-C)" questionnaire. To evaluate the validity, The Physical Activity Questionnaire for Older Children (PAQ-C) and Motivation Scale For Participation In Physical Activity (MSPPA) will be applied. To evaluate reliability, the Turkish form of PARS-C will be applied again after 7 days. All forms will be sent to children in google forms format.

It is planned to include 500 children in this study. Factor analysis methods will be used in the analysis of the factor structure of the scale, correlation analyzes (Pearson and Spearman coefficients) will be used in the analysis of validity and test-retest reliability. Cronbach's alpha analysis will be used in the reliability analysis. The study will be the first to reveal the relationship between FA behavior and rumination in Turkish children. The results will contribute to the determination of FA barriers in Turkish children.

What is being measured

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

  1. "Physical Activity-Specific Rumination Scale for Children (PARS-C)" (Time Frame: Change from baseline to 7 day)

    It was developed by Ling et al. It evaluates rumination tendencies related to physical activity in children. Consisting of 10 items, PARS-C is a 3-point Likert type scale. In our study, rumination tendencies of children related to FA will be evaluated with PARS-C.

    Measured: Time Frame: Change from baseline to 7 day

  2. The Physical Activity Questionnaire for Older Children ( PAQ-C) (Baseline)

    It was developed by Kowalski et al. The PAQ-C is a seven-day self-report scale designed to assess moderate-to-vigorous physical activity in children aged 8-14 years. This questionnaire contains nine items and examines the physical activities performed by the student in the last seven days and the frequency of these activities. In this study children's physical activity levels will be evaluated with the PAQ-C.

    Measured: Baseline

  3. Motivation Scale For Participation In Physical Activity (MSPPA) (Baseline)

    MSPPA was developed by Tekkursun Demir and Cicioglu. It was developed to assess children's motivation to participate in physical activity. The scale, which consists of 16 items, is in the 5-point Likert type. In our study, children's motivations about physical activity will be evaluated with MSPPA.

    Measured: Baseline

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 10 May 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye). Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

"Physical Activity-Specific Rumination Scale for Children (PARS-C)" (Time Frame: Change from baseline to 7 day) (time frame: Time Frame: Change from baseline to 7 day). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?
