目的：本研究探讨就业的具体招聘和保留策略的研究评估结果的一个温和的活动锻炼计划的老年非裔美国妇女参加一个计划，为所有包容性的护理老年人（PACE）。设计和方法：招聘和保留策略的重点是（1）研究人员和参与者之间的伙伴关系，（2）研究人员和临床医生之间的伙伴关系，（3）克服行政问题，（4）减轻临床医生和参与者的负担。运动方案包括强度和耐力活动2至3次，每周为16 weeks.Results：52名非洲裔美国妇女（61.2%的目标）入组，37（71.2%）完成了16周的运动计划。十五没有完成，由于无法描述的原因和/或偏好其他程序活动（n = 11），医疗问题（n = 2），或需要物理治疗（n = 2）。影响：成功的招聘和保留包括使用的PACE程序，聘请高级实践护士，以提高保留率，并与现场活动的整合，并维持在现场的锻炼计划。招募和留住老年人的挑战仍然是让年老体弱的成年人参与锻炼，将其作为一种生活习惯，以及是否有时间和地点这样做。
Purpose:This study examined employment of specific recruitment and retention strategies in a study evaluating outcomes of a moderate activity exercise program for older African American women with functional impairments attending a Program for All-Inclusive Care of Elders (PACE).Design and Methods:Recruitment and retention strategies focused on (1) partnership between researchers and participants, (2) partnership between researchers and clinicians, (3) overcoming administrative issues, and (4) reducing burden on clinicians and participants. The exercise protocol consisted of strength and endurance activity 2 to 3 times per week for 16 weeks.Results:Fifty-two African American women (61.2% of target) were enrolled and 37 (71.2%) completed the 16-week exercise program. Fifteen did not complete due to non-descript reasons and/or preference for other program activities (n = 11), medical problems (n = 2), or need for physical therapy (n = 2).Implications:Success in recruitment and retention included use of a PACE program, hiring an advanced practice nurse to improve retention, and integration with site activities and sustaining the exercise program at the site. Challenges for recruitment and retention remain to engage older, frail adults in exercise as a life habit, and availability of time and place to do so.
