[article]  inArchives of Psychiatric Nursing > Vol.31 No.1 (Feb) 2017 [07/20/2017] . - p.137-140 Title : Assessment of a chronic Disease self-management program to increase physical activity of adults with severe mental Illness Material Type: printed text Authors: Strong, Julia Ringgold, Author ; Lemaire, Gail Schoen, Author ; Murphy, Lyn Stankiewicz, Author Publication Date: 2017 Article on page: p.137-140 Languages : English (eng) Original Language : English (eng) Keywords: Chronic disease.Self-management program.Adults chronic disease.Mental illness. Abstract: Individuals with severe mental illness (SMI) experience excessive co-morbidities and early mortality. Self-management programs have the potential to increase physical activity levels of individuals with SMI and reduce the incidence of co-morbidities. The purpose of this quality improvement project was to assess a chronic disease self-management program (CDSMP) to increase physical activity of adults with SMI measured by daily steps tracked with a pedometer. Results of data analysis indicated no statistically significant difference in steps across the six-week program. However, findings suggested that individuals with SMI are capable of using a pedometer and tracking steps on a daily basis.
