Patient Safety Climate in Danish Primary Care: Adaption and Validation of the Danish Safety Attitudes Questionnaire (SAQ-DK-PRIM).

Background: A lack of instruments to assess patient safety climate within primary care exists. The objectives of this study were as follows: 1) To adapt the Danish hospital version of the Safety Attitudes Questionnaire (SAQ-DK) for use in primary care; 2) Test the internal consistency and the construct validity of this version; 3) Present benchmark data; and 4) Analyze variance.

Methods: The SAQ-DK was adapted for use in Danish primary care settings (SAQ-DK-PRIM) and distributed to healthcare staff members from nursing homes (N = 11), homecare units (N = 4) and healthcare units (N = 2), within the municipality of Aarhus, Central Denmark Region, Denmark.

Effects of a motivational, individual and locally anchored exercise intervention (MILE) on cardiorespiratory fitness: a community-based randomised controlled trial.

Background: Risk factors for chronic disease, including low cardiorespiratory fitness levels (VO), are often present in middle-aged populations. We aimed to evaluate the efficacy of a motivational, individual, and locally anchored physical activity intervention on increasing VO in 30-49 year-olds with low VO.

Methods: 232 adult volunteers with low VO were randomised to intervention (n = 115) or routine care (n = 117).

Unprompted vigorous physical activity is associated with higher levels of subsequent sedentary behaviour in participants with low cardiorespiratory fitness: a cross-sectional study.

Performing physical activity is considered health promoting but may induce a need for subsequent rest periods. This study aimed to determine the within-day interactions between vigorous physical activity (VPA) and sedentary behaviour (SB) in participants with low cardiorespiratory fitness. We tested the hypothesis that VPA is associated with a temporary subsequent increase in SB.

Association between self-reported and objectively measured physical fitness level in a middle-aged population in primary care.

Aim: To investigate the association between self-reported physical fitness level obtained by a single-item question and objectively measured fitness level in 30- to 49-year-old men and women.

Methods: From the Danish 'Check Your Health Preventive Program' 2013-2014 fitness level was assessed in 2316 participants using the Aastrand test. Additionally, participants rated their physical fitness as high, good, average, fair or low.

The MILE study: a motivational, individual and locally anchored exercise intervention among 30-49 year-olds with low levels of cardiorespiratory fitness: a randomised controlled study in primary care.

Background: Low levels of cardiorespiratory fitness are associated with high risk of non-communicable diseases and all-cause mortality. Physical activity level is the primary determinant of cardiorespiratory fitness in adults. However, knowledge on how to motivate people to engage in physical activity and maintain an active lifestyle is lacking.

No association between q-angle and foot posture with running-related injuries: a 10 week prospective follow-up study.

Background/purpose: There is a paucity of knowledge on the association between different foot posture quantified by Foot Posture Index (FPI) and Quadriceps angle (Q-angle) with development of running-related injuries. Earlier studies investigating these associations did not include an objective measure of the amount of running performed. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate if kilometers to running-related injury (RRI) differ among novice runners with different foot postures and Q-angles when running in a neutral running shoe.

Physical activity level, leisure activities and related quality of life 1 year after lumbar decompression or total hip arthroplasty.

Purpose: Lumbar decompression surgery (LDS) and total hip arthroplasty (THA) are frequently performed in the elderly population, but very little is known about their subsequent physical capacity and participation in leisure activities. Despite similar demographics and comorbidities, it is questionable whether LDS patients achieve equally high levels of physical capacity and quality of life postoperatively as do THA patients. The aim was to compare the physical activity level, participation in leisure activities and related quality of life 1 year after an LDS and THA procedure.
