Efecto de un Programa de actividad física sobre la autoestima en sujetos con enfermedades crónicas. Ensayo de intervención comunitaria "Pas a Pas" / Effect of a Physical activity program on self-esteem in subjects with chronic diseases. 'Pas a Pas' community intervention trial

Objetivo: Evaluar la efectividad de un Programa de actividad física (AF) supervisado, con actividades socioculturales y de 9 meses de duración, sobre la autoestima y su asociación sobre el control de las enfermedades crónicas en adultos usuarios de atención primaria. Diseño: Ensayo de intervención comunitaria, aleatorizado, controlado y multicéntrico. Emplazamiento: Cuatro centros de atención primaria de Reus-Tarragona, España. Participantes: Un total de 364 sujetos, aleatorizados al grupo control (GC = 104) y grupo intervención (GI = 260). Intervención: Programa supervisado de caminatas de 120 min/semana con actividades socioculturales mensuales. Mediciones principales: En los momentos basal y postintervención se valoró: AF (IPAQ-S), autoestima (escala de Rosenberg) e indicadores cardiovasculares: tabaquismo, presión arterial sistólica (PAS) y diastólica (PAD), colesterol LDL y HDL séricos, y glucosa sérica. Se registran características sociodemográficas y diagnósticos de enfermedades crónicas. Resultados: El Programa incrementó la AF en el GI (p = 0,001), mientras que disminuyó en el GC (p = 0,002), y también la autoestima en el conjunto de participantes (1,28 puntos; p = 0,006) y en los grupos con diagnósticos de hipertensión (1,60 puntos; p = 0,005), dislipidemia (1,62 puntos; p = 0,012), exceso de peso (1,24 puntos; p = 0,011) o ansiedad/depresión (1,53 puntos; p = 0,045), valorados mediante modelos estadísticos multivariantes. El incremento de la autoestima durante la intervención disminuyó la PAS -0,5 mmHg (p = 0,030) en el grupo de hipertensos, independientemente de la PAS basal y del efecto de la intervención. Conclusión: El Programa de AF realizado incrementó la AF y la autoestima en adultos usuarios de atención primaria. El incremento de la autoestima mejoró el control de la PAS en hipertensos

Aim: To evaluate the effectiveness of a 9 months of supervised Physical Activity (PA) Program with sociocultural activities, on self-esteem and its association on the control of chronic diseases in adult primary care users. Design: Multicenter, randomized, controlled community intervention. Location: 4 Primary care centers in Reus-Tarragona, Spain. Participants: 364 subjects, randomized to the Control Group (CG = 104) and Intervention Group (IG = 260). Intervention: Supervised walking program of 120min/week with sociocultural activities once a month. Main measurements: At baseline and at post-intervention we assessed: PA (IPAQ-S), self-esteem (Rosenberg scale) and cardiovascular indicators: smoking, systolic (SBP) and diastolic (DBP) blood pressure, serum LDL and HDL cholesterol, and serum glucose. Sociodemographic characteristics and diagnostic of chronic diseases are recorded. Results: The Program increased the PA in the IG (P = .001), while it decreased in the CG (P = .002), and also the self-esteem in the group of participants (1.28 points, P = .006) and in the groups with diagnoses of hypertension (1.60 points, P = .005), dyslipidemia (1.62 points, P = .012), excess weight (1.24 points, P = .011) or anxiety/depression (1.53 points, P = .045), assessed by multivariate statistical models. The increase in self-esteem during the intervention decreased SBP -0.5 mmHg (P = .030) in the hypertension group, regardless of baseline SBP and the effect of the intervention. Conclusion: The PA program increased the PA and self-esteem in adult primary care users. The increase of self-esteem improved the control of SBP in hypertensive patients
