Brief Summary

Behçet's Disease (BD) is a chronic, inflammatory, rheumatic disease that is characterized by mucocutaneous lesions. Promoting physical activity level is one of the major goals in the management of patients with rheumatic diseases, it is important to determine the factors affecting physical activity level and exercise barriers. The aim of this study is to investigate physical activity level and exercise barriers in patients with BD. Physical activity level, exercise barriers, disease activity, fatigue, depression, pain, sleep disorders, aerobic capacity and quality of life will be assessed using International Physical Activity Questionnaire-Short Form (IPAQ),Exercise Benefits/Barriers Scale, Behçet Disease Current Activity Form (BDCAF), Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS), Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), McGill Pain Questionnaire- Short Form (MPQ-SF), Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, 6 minute walk test and Behçet's Disease Quality of Life Questionnaire, respectively.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ)- Short Form

    This questionnaire obtains information about how much time is spent while walking and in moderate and vigorous activities and sitting duration in the last 7 days. The questionnaire records the activity of four intensity levels: 1) vigorous-intensity activity, 2) moderate-intensity activity, 3) walking, and 4) sitting. Durations are multiplied by known METs per activity and the results for all items are summed for the overall physical activity score. Scores for walking and for moderate and vigorous activities are sums of corresponding item scores. A sitting question is not included in physical activity score. The questionnaire is scored as: those who score high on the IPAQ engage in vigorous intensity activity of at least 1500 MET minutes a week, those who score modarete on the IPAQ of at least 600 MET minutes a week, those who score a low level of physical activity on the IPAQ means that not meeting any of the criteria for either moderate or high levels of physical activity.

  • the Exercise Benefits/Barriers Scale

    It consists of 43 items including benefits of exercise (e.g. I enjoy exercise) and barriers (e.g. Exercising takes too much of my time). Benefits subscale scores range between 29 and 116 while barriers subscale scores range between 14 and 56. The higher the score on the Barriers scale, the greater the perception of barriers to exercise.
