Summary

Physical activity and exercise are helpful for managing symptoms like fatigue in people living with systemic lupus erythematosus (lupus; SLE). Despite research supporting physical activity participation, people with lupus are often inactive and report being afraid to exercise. To that end, this project is a pilot randomized controlled trial for examining the efficacy of a home-based behavioral intervention based on social cognitive theory and motivational interviewing for increasing physical activity and decreasing fatigue.
