Outcome measures
Primary outcome
The primary outcomes are social integration determined by whether individuals
report improvements in daily and overall levels (assessed using daily diaries)
of social integration, as assessed by the social network, social functioning
and experienced social inclusion, and whether they have successfully commenced
and continued (regular) sports activities in the community (outside of mental
health facility) at post-treatment and follow-up.
Secondary outcome
The secondary outcome is to explore and understand the meaning of the lived
experience of social participation after partaking in a sports-intervention, in
terms of work, studies, social roles (romantic, family, friends), social
inclusion, self-esteem, self-stigma, and participation of activities, in the
community at follow-up. In addition, it will be assessed whether improvements
in daily and overall levels of self-stigma, physical activity, self-esteem, and
negative symptoms have occurred at post-treatment.
Background summary
Already in early phases of psychosis, individuals demonstrate difficulties with
social participation. They often stop working, studying, participating in
leisure activities, and lose contact with peers. Additionally, physical health
problems, such as metabolic risk factors, are often already present in the
first phase of the disorder, and worsen as a result of inactive behaviour. We
propose an individualized sport-based intervention for people in the early
phase of psychosis, with a strong focus on integrating sports outside of mental
health care institutions in daily life. By making use of community sport
coaches, this intervention aims to build a bridge between activities in the
context of mental health care and social participation in the community. On the
basis of a previous feasibility study, the intervention and the study method
has been improved and refined. Consequently, the aim of this study is to
examine the effectiveness of a personalized sport intervention, which aims to
promote increase social (re)integration.
Study objective
Our main aim is to test the effectiveness of a personalized sport intervention,
which aims to promote social integration through sport activities in the
community.
Study design
The intervention will be tested in a multiple baseline single-case design
(n=1), in which each participant is examined as a single case, and acts as his
own control.
Intervention
The total intervention consists of a minimum of 22 sessions in a 24 to 26 week
time-frame, consisting of three phases: individual psychomotor therapy
(focusing on goal setting and regaining trust in one*s own physical
capabilities), a group intervention combining psychomotor therapy and sport
(focusing on social connectedness) and finally sporting in the local community
(focused on social (re)integration). The intervention is tailored to individual
needs and goals, in terms of duration, support and content.
Study burden and risks
There are no risks involved in participating in the study. The burden
associated with participation consists of participating in two interviews and a
meeting about the study protocol (180 min.), the sports-intervention (26 hours
for a duration of roughly 24 weeks), two sessions of questionnaires (140 min.)
and eight phases of daily dairy assessments (120 min. per phase).
