目的:我们之前在一项疗效试验中发现,在患有慢性病的社区老年人中,健康促进计划防止了功能衰退并减少了住院人数。我们试图评估该计划在传播阶段的有效性。设计:使用组内、前测-后测设计进行结果评估。设置:分布在华盛顿州西部的14个老年中心。伙伴:304名65岁及以上的社区居民男性和女性。干预:一项残疾预防、慢性病自我管理计划。测量:参与者特征、残疾的风险因素、健康和功能状况的变化、注册一年以上的医疗保健使用情况;参与者满意度。结果:参与者为71%的女性,平均年龄76岁,平均报告3种慢性健康状况。被发现抑郁的参与者的百分比下降(登记时为28%,1年随访时为17%,P=.005)。不经常运动的参与者的百分比下降(56%比38%,P=.001)。身体活动水平和运动准备情况有所改善(基于医生的运动评估和咨询平均得分为4.3分对5.1分,P=.001)。在随访中,83%的人认为自己的健康状况与一年前持平或好于一年前,而在注册时这一比例为73%。以卧床天数和限制活动天数衡量,功能状态受损的比例保持不变。住院比例保持稳定(登记和随访时为23%,P=1.0)。结论:在现实世界条件下,健康增强计划适用于有功能衰退风险的老年人。那些登记了一年的人经历了残疾风险因素的减少,健康状况的改善,功能状况没有下降,自我报告的医疗保健使用没有增加。
OBJECTIVES: We previously found in an efficacy trial that a health promotion program prevented functional decline and reduced hospitalizations in community-dwelling older people with chronic conditions. We sought to evaluate the effectiveness of the program in its dissemination phase.DESIGN: Outcome evaluation using a within-group, pretest-posttest design.SETTING: Fourteen senior centers located throughout western Washington.PARTICIPANTS: Three hundred four community-dwelling men and women aged 65 and older.INTERVENTION: A disability-prevention, chronic disease-self-management program.MEASUREMENTS: Participant characteristics, risk factors for disability, change in health and functional status, and healthcare use over 1 year of enrollment; participant satisfaction.RESULTS: Participants were 71% female, had a mean age of 76, and reported three chronic health conditions on average. The percentage of participants found to be depressed decreased (28% at time of enrollment vs 17% at 1-year follow-up, P =.005). The percentage of physically inactive participants decreased (56% vs 38%, P =.001). Physical activity level and exercise readiness improved (Physician-based Assessment and Counseling for Exercise mean score 4.3 vs 5.1, P =.001). At follow-up, 83% rated their health the same as or better than a year ago, compared with 73% at time of enrollment. The proportion with impaired functional status, as measured by bed days and restricted activity days, stayed the same. The proportion hospitalized remained stable (23% at enrollment and follow-up, P = 1.0).CONCLUSIONS: Under real world conditions, the Health Enhancement Program reaches older people at risk of functional decline. Those enrolled for 1 year experience a reduction in disability risk factors, improvement in health status, no decrements in functional status, and no increase in self-reported healthcare use.
