(NIMH, n.d.)
National Alliance on Mental Illness (2021)

One in five U.S adults who experience some form of mental health illness throughout their lifespan
(CDC, 2018)
Individuals living with serious mental illness face an increased risk of physical health problems, such as heart disease, diabetes, and HIV

Purpose: Relationship between exercise and NSSI
Sample: 167
13-25 years old high school/college
Methods: self-report questionnaires
Results: exercise has a protective factor against NSSI/depressive symptoms
Beitel et al., 2016

Pain intensity (8%, 6%,6%,) and pain interference (6%,6%, 5%)for patient with chronic pain, pain intensity( 3%,3%, 2%,) and pain interference (2%, 3%, and 2%) without chronic pain percentages which were approximately 2% and 2% for depression and interpersonal relationships for those with chronic pain and for those without chronic pain it is 1% and 1%.
Purpose:
The aim of the study is to examine the extent to which patients seeking MMT (MethadoneMaintenance Treatment) with and without chronic pain differ in their current physical activity, levels and interest in exercise group participation.
Sample:
303 adults, male(61%), European American(84%), unmarried(68%),inclusion criteria(MMT,English)
Methods:
Questions on physical activity level
. Moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA) was calculated
. Brief Pain Inventory (BPI) scale
. Behavior and Symptom Identification Scale -24 (BASIC-24)
Results:
Participants with chronic pain have a higher level of pain intensity and pain interference. More participants without chronic pain met the weekly MVPA level than with those with chronic
Pain with a 10% difference. More women have an interest in exercise group participation compared to men
. Participants with chronic pain have a higher level of psychiatric symptoms than those without.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of a high intensity exercise
program on balance in dementia patients living in skilled nursing facilities.
Sample: 182 participants joined the study age 55 or older, mild or moderate degrees of dementia,
Able to stand up alone or with the assistance of one person, and the ability to walk 6 meters with aid or without.
Methods: Berg Balance Scale, The 30 second chair test, Normal walking speed test, Barthel Index ADLs,
Neuropsychiatric Inventory questionnaire, MMSE, and the Cornell depression scale.
Results:
Intervention group increased their score by 2.9 points in balance ,and the control group improved by 1.2points in balance.
Representing a significance change of (p = 0.02) between the groups.
NPI, Neuropsychiatric Inventory;
Agitation (NPI) andApathy (NPI) Intervention group improved by lowering their scores in agitation and apathy by 0.2 and the
Control group lowering their apathy score by 0.1 and increasing their agitation score by 0.4. The difference in the groups
relating to apathy the significance was (p = 0.048) and for agitation the significance showed (p = 0.07).
Barthel Index: Significance (p = 0.085) with the intervention group improving by 0.1 and the control group declining by 0.7
REBECCA
Significant difference between groups at p<0.05 level. Significant difference between groups at p<0.1 level.
Effects of a 12-week Running Programme in Youth and Adults with Complex Mood Disorders (Keating et.al., 2018)
Results
BDI= 39% decrease in depressive symptoms in adults vs. 27% decrease in depressive symptoms in youth
BAI, PSS, BDI remission= a decrease in the number of participants with moderate or high scores,and an increase of participants in the low and absent categories
higher levels of perceived friendships= lower scores on the BDI, BAI, and PSS scales
Participants who attended more than 50% of the running sessions = a decrease in BDI and BAI scores
Purpose
To evaluate the impact of running on stress, anxiety, and depression in youth and adults with complex mood disorders including comorbid diagnoses, cognitive and social impairment, and high relapse rates.
The study included s 12-week group-based recreational running program that intended to enhance clinical outcomes in youth and adults with depression, anxiety, and bipolar.
Sample
64 participants
Inclusion- history of depression, bipolar, and anxiety
Exclusion- 10 participants
8 were missing a primary diagnosis
general anxiety disorder
schizophrenia
Methods
Beck Depression Inventory scale (BDI-II)
Beck Anxiety Inventory scale (BAI)
Cohen’s Perceived Stress Scale (PSS)
36 self-reported survey questions
Running log

Nursing Implications
SINMI
Exercise also reduces levels of cortisol. Cortisol is a stress hormone that builds fat in the abdominal region, making weight loss difficult. Cortisol causes many health problems, both physical and psychological
. Talking to the patient about how active they are in everyday life can trigger awareness about personal health behavior
. Nurses can motivate patient to embrace positive attitudes and providing support when patients have negative attitudes, or naturally occurring lapses.
. Smart Goals – specific , measurable , attainable, realistic, timely.
Nurses need to be educated on the benefits of physical exercise
To promote physical exercise, nurses should educate their patients on the benefits of exercise for their lifelong wellbeing.
Motivating their patient is having a positive attitude and supporting them.
Assess the patient if they are fit for exercise, daily weight and if there are other barriers to physical exercise.
Set personal goals for clients and reassess and change according to their needs
