About this study

Physical activity plays an important role in the prevention and treatment of mental disorders. Despite the potential mental health benefits, large proportions of patients with mental disorders do not meet the physical activity recommendations.

Nurses play a key role in the recommendation of physical activity to their patients. There are no previous studies that examine physical activity recommendation behaviour in German nurses.

The purpose of this study is to examine the physical activity recommendation behaviour, beliefs, barriers and exercise participation in German nurses working with patients with mental disorders.
