Brief Summary

The aim of our study is to examine the effect of social isolation on physical activity level, health literacy and kinesophobia in heart rhythm disorders.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• Physical Activity Level

  Physical activity level will be evaluated using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire - Short Form (IPAQ-SF). The questionnaire provides information about the time spent on walking and moderate-to-severe / vigorous activities, while also evaluating the time spent sitting (sedentary behavior level). Physical activity levels are classified according to MET-min/week values. According to these values, people are classified as physically inactive (inactive), low level of physical activity (minimally active), and sufficient level of physical activity (very active).

  June 2020-March 2021

• Fear of Movement

  Fear of movement will be evaluated using the Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia for Heart. The scale consists of 17 items. The score a participant can get is between 17 and 68. The higher the total score, the higher the severity of kinesiophobia.
