In order to facilitate people with psychosis to increase their physical activity (PA) levels, a reliable measurement of these levels is of relevance.
The primary aim of current study was to explore the test-retest of the Simple Physical Activity Questionnaire (SIMPAQ) in Ugandan outpatients with psychosis. A second aim was to explore correlates of the SIMPAQ, including demographic variables and antipsychotic medication dose.
Thirty-four women (33.9±8.0 years) and 21 men completed the SIMPAQ twice in a day. The test-retest reliability was assessed using Spearman Rho correlations coefficients. Differences in subgroups were analysed with Mann Whitney U tests.
The SIMPAQ showed a good test-retest reliability with correlates ranging from 0.78 (P<0.001) for structured exercise to 0.96 (P<0.001) for walking. Women, non-smokers and those without HIV/AIDS showed higher incidental PA than men, smokers and those with HIV/AIDS.
The SIMPAQ is a reliable tool to assess PA and sedentary levels in Ugandan outpatients with psychosis. Men, smokers and those with HIV/AIDS appear to be at risk for lower incidental PA.
为了帮助精神病患者增加他们的身体活动（PA）水平，对这些水平进行可靠的测量是很重要的。
本研究的主要目的是探讨 SIMPAQ 在乌干达精神病门诊患者中的重测信度。第二个目的是探讨 SIMPAQ 的相关因素，包括人口统计学变量和抗精神病药物剂量。
34 名女性（33.9±8.0 岁）和 21 名男性在一天内完成了 SIMPAQ 的两次测试。使用 Spearman Rho 相关系数评估重测信度。采用 Mann-Whitney U 检验分析亚组差异。
SIMPAQ 具有良好的重测信度，相关系数范围从 0.78（P<0.001）（结构运动）到 0.96（P<0.001）（散步）。女性、不吸烟者和没有 HIV/AIDS 的患者比男性、吸烟者和有 HIV/AIDS 的患者表现出更高的偶然 PA。
SIMPAQ 是评估乌干达精神病门诊患者 PA 和久坐水平的可靠工具。男性、吸烟者和 HIV/AIDS 患者似乎处于较低偶然 PA 的风险之中。
