Plain English summary of protocol

Background and study aims
The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationships between depression, patients’ feelings about having kidney disease, the symptoms they experience, and how active they are. This study will help researchers to understand how kidney disease makes people feel in themselves and how it affects their quality of life. It is hoped that this will lead to new ways of helping patients cope better with living with kidney disease.

Who can participate?
Adults (aged at least 18) with chronic kidney disease.

What does the study involve?
Each participant is asked to complete a survey made up of 8 sections. Each section is a separate, simple questionnaire. The participants are given the survey to take home so that they can complete it in their own time. They are all given a stamped addressed envelope to post it back. The survey asks questions about how a person with kidney disease feels about their condition and how it impacts on their quality of life.

What are the possible benefits and risks of participating?

Where is the study run from?
University Hospitals of Leicester (UK)

When is the study starting and how long is it expected to run for?
August 2016 to March 2019

Scientific titlePhysical activity, depression and illness perceptions in CKD: a cross-sectional survey study
Study acronymADAPT
Study objectivesThere is a paucity of research on the illness perception of individuals living with chronic kidney diseases (CKD) and its association with health behaviour; research in this field will assist to understand if illness perception is predictive of the levels of physical activity in individuals with CKD.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationships between depression, patients’ feelings about having CKD, the symptoms they experience, and how active they are. This study will help researchers to understand how kidney disease makes people feel in themselves and how it affects their quality of life. It is hoped that this will lead to new ways of helping patients cope better with living with kidney disease.

InterventionPeople with CKD are invited to complete a survey consisting of 8 sections, each of which is a separate simple questionnaire. The survey will be given to participants to fill in at home, and they will then return it to the researchers in a stamped addressed envelope. They are also asked for their permission for a researcher to extract some information from their medical records (recent blood and urine test results, medications, past medical history including any other health conditions).

The survey consists of the following sections:
Section 1: Some questions about you
Section 2: A questionnaire about how you feel about Chronic Kidney Disease
Section 3: A questionnaire about your mood over the last 2 weeks
Section 4: A questionnaire about your physical activity over the last 7 days
Section 5: A questionnaire about your ability to carry out day-to-day activities
Section 6: A questionnaire about the symptoms you experience
Section 7 : A questionnaire about how tired you have felt over the last week
Section 8: A questionnaire about your quality of life

There will be no further follow up of the participants. A descriptive analysis of the results will be carried out, and associations and relationships between the questionnaire responses and clinical parameters using correlation and regression explored.
Intervention typeOther
Primary outcome measureAssociation between self-reported physical activity measured using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire Short Form (IPAQ-SF) and perception of chronic kidney disease measured using the Illness Perception Questionnaire (IPQ-R) at a single time point.
Secondary outcome measures1. Depression measured using the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI-II)
2. Physical capacity measured using the Duke Activity Status Index (DASI)
3. Experience of symptoms measured using the Kidney Symptom Questionnaire (KSQ)
4. Fatigue levels measured using the Leicester Kidney Fatigue Scale
5. Quality of Life measured using the EuroQOL 5 Dimension scale (EQ5D)
6. Associations between the above questionnaires and:
6.1. Clinical markers of disease severity (routine blood and urine test results; prescribed medications; comorbidities)
6.2. Demographic indicators measured by questionnaire (age, sex, ethnicity, educational level, smoking status)
