ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Desire2Move (D2M) is an 8-week team-based, workplace program that incorporates competition and self-monitoring to encourage physical activity (PA).OBJECTIVE:
The purpose of this pilot study was to evaluate the effectiveness of a self-compassion (SC) intervention within the existing workplace PA program.METHODS:
University employees (nâ=â20) were assigned to a SC treatment group or an attention control group. Participants logged their PA minutes using MapMyRun. Treatment group. participants received a 7-week, SC podcast intervention. Participants self-reported PA, SC, and demographic information at pre- and post-intervention. Separate ANOVAs were used to determine group differences.RESULTS:
There was not a statistically significant group x time interaction for SC, F(1, 18)â=â0.02, pâ=â0.90, or main effects for time, F(1, 18)â=â0.28, pâ=â0.61, or group, F(1, 18)â=â1.70, pâ=â0.21, gâ=â-0.42 [95%CIâ=â-3.13, 2.29]. There were not significant differences between groups for total PA minutes during D2M, F(1, 18)â=â2.15, pâ=â0.16, gâ=â-0.63 [-1.53,0.27]. Overall, participants engaged in more than the recommended levels of PA each week.CONCLUSIONS:
This pilot study provided feedback and guidance for future online SC training within a workplace PA intervention.Palabras clave
