description | BACKGROUND: Since 2016, French law has allowed general practitioners to prescribe adapted physical activity (APA) to patients with long-term health conditions. Studies have demonstrated that physicians are interested in this practice but very few have surveyed patient expectations. OBJECTIVE: The objective of this work was to study patients' expectations regarding the prescription of APA. METHODS: This is a quantitative descriptive study treating data obtained from a survey carried out in general practice offices in the department of Yvelines between June and September 2019. The inclusion criteria for patients were: above 18 years old and present in the waiting room. RESULTS: 252 patients were surveyed in 9 doctors' offices. We received 90% of responses. Prescription of APA is a good idea for 95.2% of patients, 80.2% were motivated to join an APA program and 67.4% thought that prescription of APA would increase their motivation. The main constraints to physical activity practice were lack of time (59.9%) and lack of motivation (31.7%). The main practices that would help patients to better adhere to an APA program were group sessions supervised by a professional (64.7%) pursued by a follow up with their doctor (41.7%). 53.2% of patients considered that it would be important to monitor their physical activity through a connected device. Factors independently associated with the motivation to participate in the APA program were a female gender (p > 0.01), a bachelor's degree (p = 0.01), a general opinion that prescription of physical activity is a good idea (p > 0.01). CONCLUSION: Our results revealed an enthusiasm with patients for APA prescription, which is interesting for the promotion of PA in general medicine. |
