The Simple Physical Activity Questionnaire (SIMPAQ) was originally developed in English to assess physical activity level particularly people with mental illnesses. The purpose of this study was to translate and cross-culturally adapt the SIMPAQ into Turkish and investigate its psychometric properties. Eighty individuals with mental illnesses (major depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety disorder, schizophrenia, alcohol and substance addiction) will include. For cross-cultural adaptation and validation procedure, developers' manual in the official site will be followed (http://www.simpaq.org/). Within a 5-to-7-day period after the first assessment, the participants completed the Turkish version of the SIMPAQ to evaluate test-retest reliability. Cronbach's alpha (α) was used to assess internal consistency. The correlations with the Turkish version of the International Physical Activity-Short Form (IPAQ-SF) and Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale (BPRS) and Turkish version of the DSM-5 Self-Rated Level 1 Cross-Cutting Symptom Scale-Adult Version (DSM XC) will determine to check the validity.
