Studies have consistently reported the health benefits of physical activity (PA) in diabetes care. Our study aimed to explore perceptions of general well-being in participants of the 'MOVEdiabetes' intervention aimed at increasing PA in adults with type 2 diabetes in Oman.
'MOVEdiabetes' is a cluster-randomized study where participants in the intervention group (IG) received PA consultations, pedometers, and WhatsApp messages versus the usual care in the control group (CG). At baseline and 12 months, perceptions on well-being were assessed using an English translated to Arabic 13-item questionnaire. Between groups differences in responses were compared using chi-squared tests. Spearman correlation analysis was utilized to explore associations between changes in responses and self-reported PA levels (metabolic equivalent of task.min/week).
Of the 232 participants in the 'MOVEdiabetes' study, 75.0% completed the study. Overall, findings indicate a positive effect of the intervention on perceived general health, sleep, mental health, pain, and responses to quality of life. For the IG and CG, significant associations were shown between changes in self-reported PA and general health (r = 0.70 and 0.36, < 0.001), feeling calm/peaceful (r = 0.86 and 0.93, < 0.001), energetic (r = 0.86 and 0.82, < 0.001), and depressed (r = -0.35 and -0.30, < 0.001). However, the Cronbach's alpha value was 0.50, indicating insufficient internal consistency of the assessment tool.
The intervention has a positive effect on many parameters of well-being. Further studies are needed to identify robust tools to measure associations between well-being and PA in culturally bounded Arabic speaking countries.
研究一直报道体育活动（PA）在糖尿病护理中的健康益处。我们的研究旨在探讨“运动糖尿病”干预项目参与者对总体幸福感的认知，该干预项目旨在增加阿曼2型糖尿病成年人的体育活动。
“运动糖尿病”是一项整群随机研究，干预组（IG）参与者接受体育活动咨询、计步器和WhatsApp消息，而对照组（CG）接受常规护理。在基线和12个月时，使用翻译成阿拉伯语的13项问卷评估对幸福感的认知。使用卡方检验比较组间反应差异。采用Spearman相关分析探讨反应变化与自我报告的体育活动水平（每周代谢当量任务分钟数）之间的关联。
在“运动糖尿病”研究的232名参与者中，75.0%完成了研究。总体而言，研究结果表明干预对感知到的总体健康、睡眠、心理健康、疼痛和生活质量反应有积极影响。对于干预组和对照组，自我报告的体育活动变化与总体健康（r = 0.70和0.36，<0.001）、感到平静/安宁（r = 0.86和0.93，<0.001）、精力充沛（r = 0.86和0.82，<0.001）和抑郁（r = -0.35和-0.30，<0.001）之间存在显著关联。然而，Cronbach's alpha值为0.50，表明评估工具的内部一致性不足。
该干预对幸福感的许多参数有积极影响。需要进一步研究以确定在有文化界限的阿拉伯语国家中测量幸福感与体育活动之间关联的可靠工具。
