Abstract

OBJECTIVE: Lack of exercise is a risk factor for various negative health outcomes. Some research suggests people with severe mental illnesses are less likely to engage in exercise than the general population. The purpose of this report is to document, analyze, and understand self-identified barriers to exercise that may be especially specific to people living with serious mental illnesses. Producing such knowledge can assist in the development of effective interventions. METHODS: Thirty-one people with serious mental illnesses participated in in-depth one-on-one interviews to discuss health behaviors in general and exercise more specifically. The authors then engaged in thematic analysis of data to identify common barriers to exercise. RESULTS: Participants reported psychiatric medication side effects, symptoms related to SMI, and physical comorbidities as barriers. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE: Clinicians should incorporate physical health goals as a part of treatment planning. Agencies also can play a role in increasing exercise through the implementation of programs.

Certain pharmacological treatments may contribute to lack of motivation to exercise because psychiatric patients have reported medication side effects as a primary factor inhibiting their capacity to engage in regular exercise.
“It is possible that certain pharmacological treatments may contribute to this issue as psychiatric patients have previously reported medication side effects as a primary factor that inhibits their capacity to engage in regular exercise (Glover et al., 2013).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
