Increasing the number of daily steps by using a pedometer and a diary leads to an activity increase and improved health outcomes in a variety of somatic disorders. Hence, for the inpatient treatment of depression, supervised exercise interventions are more widespread. We aim to examine if a self‐managed pedometer intervention (PI) with the option of being proceeded after discharge leads to reduction of depression and to a physical activity (PA) increase.

远离抑郁症——一项多中心随机临床试验的研究方案，用于在抑郁症住院治疗期间和之后进行计步器干预

通过使用计步器和日记来增加每日步数会导致活动增加并改善各种躯体疾病的健康结果。因此，对于抑郁症的住院治疗，有监督的运动干预更为普遍。我们的目标是检查自我管理的计步器干预 (PI) 是否可以在出院后进行，是否会减少抑郁症并增加体力活动 (PA)。
