There is a growing recognition of the importance of encouraging patients with mental health problems to become more active as an efficacious strategy to reduce the disability-associated burden. The aim of the current study was to investigate if there are differences in quality of life (QoL) outcomes between people with mental health problems that do and do not meet the recommendations of 150min per week of physical activity. 109 (36♀) Ugandan in- and outpatients (mean age = 34.2 ± 10.2 years) (depression = 7, bipolar disorder = 31, schizophrenia = 21, alcohol use disorder = 50) completed the Physical Activity Vital Sign (PAVS) method and World Health Organization Quality of Life Assessment brief version. Those who did not achieve the minimum physical activity recommendations as assessed by the PAVS (n = 63) had a lower physical, psychological, social and environmental QoL. The current data offer further evidence that the PAVS method might be an important risk identification tool in people with mental health problems. The feasibility and acceptability of the PAVS may help promote the importance of physical activity assessment and prescription as a core part of the treatment of mental health problems in LMICs.
越来越多的人认识到鼓励心理健康问题患者更加活跃是一种有效的策略，可以减轻与残疾相关的负担。本研究的目的是调查那些不符合每周 150 分钟身体活动建议的心理健康问题患者与符合建议的患者之间的生活质量（QoL）结果是否存在差异。109 名乌干达门诊和住院患者（平均年龄=34.2±10.2 岁）（抑郁症=7 人，双相情感障碍=31 人，精神分裂症=21 人，酒精使用障碍=50 人）完成了体力活动重要指标（PAVS）方法和世界卫生组织生活质量评估简短版的测试。那些未达到 PAVS 评估的最低身体活动建议（n=63）的患者，其身体、心理、社会和环境 QoL 较低。目前的数据进一步证明，PAVS 方法可能是心理健康问题患者重要的风险识别工具。PAVS 的可行性和可接受性可能有助于促进身体活动评估和处方的重要性，将其作为中低收入国家精神卫生问题治疗的核心部分。
