Physical activity counselling in health care is inadequate but the reasons for this are not well understood.
To evaluate physical activity participation and counselling perceptions and practices among doctors and nurses in the UK.
This study used two anonymised online questionnaires distributed at different times to doctors and nurses throughout the UK.
629 responses were obtained; 78.3% of doctors and 73.4% of nurses met the UK guideline for aerobic physical activity. Perceived importance of counselling on physical activity was high but less than 50% of participants were actually providing counselling. Counselling was more likely in primary care and doctors were marginally more likely than nurses to counsel.
Doctors and nurses are an active cohort and view counselling on physical activity as important. Despite this, counselling levels are low especially in secondary care. Efforts should be made to improve knowledge and opportunity for physical activity counselling.
医疗保健中的身体活动咨询不足，但原因尚不清楚。
评估英国医生和护士的身体活动参与情况、咨询认知和实践情况。
本研究使用了两份匿名在线问卷，分两次向英国各地的医生和护士发放。
共收到 629 份回复，78.3%的医生和 73.4%的护士达到了英国有氧身体活动指南的标准。尽管对身体活动咨询的重要性认知较高，但实际上提供咨询的参与者不足 50%。咨询在初级保健中更常见，医生比护士更有可能进行咨询。
医生和护士是一个活跃的群体，他们认为身体活动咨询很重要。尽管如此，咨询水平仍然较低，尤其是在二级保健中。应努力提高对身体活动咨询的知识和机会。
