Table 3 Development of MoveMEY: key findings on the format from carers and researchers
Carers (n = 11) | Researchers (n = 6) |
|---|---|
Daily reporting | Daily reporting |
Diary format | Tool may have to be longer to be more meaningful (to be able to collect sufficient and useful data) |
Distinguish between weekday/weekend | Distinguish between weekday/weekend |
Enable space to report home and nursery activity | Ability to capture home and nursery activity |
Report nap time / night wakings daily as they differ from physical activity and sedentary behaviour, in that sleep is more consistent whereas physical activity and sedentary behaviour activities can differ day to day. | Report nap time / night wakings daily as they differ from physical activity and sedentary behaviour, in that sleep is more consistent whereas physical activity and sedentary behaviour activities can differ day to day. |
Preferences differed in terms of entering own amount of time for each activity versus ticking boxes | Parents to enter own amount of time for each activity may make MoveMEY less complex |
Sleep section slightly different – sleep routines mean that bed/wake time question would not need to be daily |  |
|  | Some behaviours may be reported twice – make clear from the start what questions are ahead to avoid this happening |
