Evaluating provision of PA advice in primary care BACR annual conference, Oct 2009 Professor Jim McKenna j.mckenna@leedsmet.ac.uk. Acquiring new (and re-acquiring old) behaviours is a process not an event. It often requires learning through sequences (or approximations to ‘real life’).

Acquiring new (and re-acquiring old) behaviours is a process not an event. It often requires learning through sequences (or approximations to ‘real life’) Seven tenets of behaviour change JACKSON (1997) H. Educ. Res. 143-150
Seven tenets of behaviour change • Psychological factors (notably beliefs and values) influence how people behave JACKSON (1997) H. Educ. Res. 143-150
The more beneficial and rewarding the experience the more likely that it will be repeated. The more punishing and unpleasantthe less likely that it will be repeated. Seven tenets of behaviour change JACKSON (1997) H. Educ. Res. 143-150
Behavioural experience can influence individuals’ expectancies and values Seven tenets of behaviour change • Individuals are NOT passive responders; they are proactive in behaviour change JACKSON (1997) H. Educ. Res. 143-150
Social relationships and social norms have a substantial influence on how people behave Seven tenets of behaviour change JACKSON (1997) H. Educ. Res. 143-150
Seven tenets of behaviour change • Behaviour in NOT independent of the context in which it is undertaken. • People influence, and are influenced by, their social environment. JACKSON (1997) H. Educ. Res. 143-150
Over 20 major diseases where PA is helpful (Lynch 2002) STRRIDE (RCT evidence); inactivity shows within 6 months An ‘idealised’ settings for prevention Wide access - 9 in 10 adults registered; attend at least once within 3 years; average consults/yr 4 (m) 5 (f) Staff have unique influence Patients are uniquely responsive Repeated and sequential opportunities New opportunities using Referrals and different PA messages BUT…… Rationale for PA promotion in General Practice
Preferred sources of support to start being active; Inactive respondents (by age groups) None Video Telephone Mail Medical advice Help kit Group Book Booth et al., (1997) Preventive Medicine, 26, 131-137 p135
Calfas et. al. (1996) Prev Med, 25, 225-33 PACE Project Percentage of subjects who moved from Contemplator to Action stage of change during the study
Calfas et al., (1996) Prev Med, 25, 225-33 PACE Project Caltrac accelerometer scores at baseline and follow-up (n=56) Activity counts per hour worn (P<0.05) 60.3 vs 83.3 63.3 vs 57.4 .
It ‘works’ with adolescents • Spanish ‘adolescents’ (12-21 years!, n=448) showed encouraging responses to focused PA promotion in General Practice • 41.5% were more active (3+ days/week, 30 mins(+), moderate to vigorous) than controls at 6-months • National estimates: 26% (5-15), 17% (16-24 year-olds) • NNT: 7 (for 6 month effect), 6 (for 1 year effect) Ortega-Sanchez R. et al., (2004) Preventive Medicine, 38, 219-26.
2008 RCT (USA): Christioan et al., Arch Intern Med, 168, 141-46 ‘…. In the intervention group, recommended levels of PA increased from 26%... to 53% at 12 months (P<0.001), compared with controls (30% to 37%)…’
Pinto et al., (2005)Am J Prev Med, 29, 247-55. Objective activity monitoring also showed significantly increased PA among extended-advice versus brief advice participants at 3 months +50.79 [minutes/week] vs 11.11 and 6 months +42.39 [minutes/week] vs 24.18
Eden et al, (2002) Ann Intern Med, 137, 208-15 Evidence is inconclusive… 6 controlled trials (with usual care as 'c'), 9054 patients
2002 (Netherlands): Pat Educ Couns, 48 131-7. Low levels of performance were found for ….. physical exercise for patients with hypertension … Discussion on compliance with therapy in case of angina pectoris… peripheral artery disease also showed a considerable gap between recommended and actual care ‘Inconclusive’ issue:Patient status (even when their clinical needs are PA-responsive) adds uncertainty
We know that GPsCAN effectivelypromote PASo why is the evidence ‘inconclusive? Profound influence of diverse powerful, subjective factors, including the strength of the treating physician's recommendation(Jackie Taylor spoke of ‘referral failure’)
2003 (USA) Am J Pub Health 93, 635-41: ‘Inconclusive’ issue:Competition with other preventive options
Flocke et al., (2006) Am J Prev Med, 30, 243-51 Post intervention higher discussion rates for diet (25.7% vs 20.2%), exercise (27.8% vs 16.9%)…. No changes in patient motivation to improve behaviour ‘Inconclusive’ issue: Intervention does not shift behaviour
Doctors (often) question their role in H-P Few ‘real’ chances to discuss health Not obliged to promote PA Doctors have to initiate most (60%+) PA discussions European Action on Secondary and Primary Prevention by Intervention to Reduce Events !!! (EUROASPIRE !!!): neither clinicians nor patients pay sufficient attention to lifestyle risk factors, including PA; only 23.9% of patients reported following specific advice from a health or exercise professional after their coronary event. Patient self-report; moderate (16.4%) and intensive (13.4%) PA Kotseva et al. (2009) Eur. J. Cardiovasc. Prev. Rehabil. 16, 121–37 Adding to ‘inconclusivity’
GPs prefer to initiate discussion through ‘Illness’ ‘Illness’ dominates the tone and content of discussions. It limits what can be said (Nordby, 2004) Illness is transitory; unlikely to sustain PA ‘Illness’ may not motivate PA in many (esp. young) people Adding to ‘inconclusivity’
Inconclusivity issue: What to encourage?Recession; mental health is THE driver of economic wealth Douglas et al., (2006) BMC Pub H, 6, 136
Finland (2006): Hirvensalo et al., Prev Med, 41, 342-7. 34% recalled PA advice, 34% did not Recalling warnings AGAINST PA was more common among those having heart conditions. Recall was lowest among sedentary, those with fewest health problems, or those with no mobility issues. ‘Inconclusive’ issue:Patient recall varies
Women in Norway 2009: Werner and Materud. Soc Sci Med. The ‘hard work’ of not appearing too strong or too weak, too healthy or too sick, too smart or too disarranged Inconclusivity issue:patient consultation behaviour
‘Unchangeingness’ of male body 15-35 may limit ‘self-surveillance’ This may contribute to reputation for being ‘hard-to-reach’ (why not ‘unreached’?) How to follow-up people who are residentially /domestically unstable? Adding to ‘inconclusivity’: Access
Low counselingself-efficacy(What to encourage, How to do it? Lack of +/- feedback) Diagnostics is more satisfying and rewarding Lack of training(PA or behav change) Lack of time(in consultations)Patient implication? Poor reimbursement (Lack of/ Concern to maintain positivity in)Patient relationship Prioritisation of clinical reasons for visit‘Rule of rescue’ PA attitudes and personal behaviour What effects CAN result from an average of just 45 seconds spent discussing PA in consultations? OBJECTIVESystematic and effective PA promotion
McKenna et al., (1998). BJSM 32, 242-7.
Boorman report (2009)PA among NHS staff 18 22 21 10 13 5 9 So, 71% (18 + 22 + 21 +10) of NHS staff are ‘under-active’?
Even though the data are i n c o n c l u s i v e yet emerging Conclusion …live with that, keep doing the good work you’re doing, help someone else to do the same and do it with them
