Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
1
Hodkinson Mental Test
The test consists of 10 questions in total. A high score indicates a proficiency in cognitive problems.
Time frame
5 minutes2
Climate Change Health Literacy Scale
The scale consists of 24 questions. The lowest possible score is 24, and the highest possible score is 120.
Time frame
10 minutes3
Climate Change Anxiety Scale
It consists of 22 questions and a 4-factor structure. A higher score on this scale indicates increased concern about climate change.
Time frame
8 minutes4
Rapid Assessment of Physical Activity
It consists of 9 items and is answered with "yes" or "no". It is divided into two parts. The first part assesses aerobic capacity. The second part assesses muscle strength and flexibility.
Time frame
5 minutesSecondary outcomes
1
Modified Medical Research Council Dyspnea Scale
It consists of five points. The patient rates respiratory distress on a scale of 0 (no shortness of breath) to 4 (shortness of breath during activities such as being homebound and dressing).
Time frame
5 minutes2
Mental Fatigue Scale
The survey consists of 15 questions in total, and the scoring is obtained by summing the scores from the first 14 questions. The last question is evaluated as yes or no. Based on the total score, it is classified as follows: 0 - 10 = no mental fatigue problem, 10.5 - 14.5 = mild mental fatigue, 15 - 20 = quite severe mental fatigue, ≥ 20.5 = severe mental fatigue.
