Effect of Social Isolation on Physical Activity Level, and Kinesophobia in Heart Rhythm Disorders During Pandemic

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).

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.

Health literacy will be evaluated using the Health Literacy Scale. This questionnaire consists of 25 questions and four sub-dimensions. A minimum of 25 and a maximum of 125 points are obtained for the entire scale. The higher the score obtained from the questionnaire, the higher the health literacy level of the participant.

The number of steps in the last week will be recorded and averaged using the pedometer applications from the participants own smartphones.

The number of days spent outside last week will be recorded.

The comorbid conditions of the patients will be evaluated by Charlson's comorbidity index. As the score obtained from the index increases, the comorbid situation increases.
