Nursing intervention supporting continuous participation of existing participants in a project for prevention of dependence on long-term care

这项研究揭示了有效支持现有参与者继续参与预防长期护理依赖的项目的三个关键要素：(1)鼓励继续考虑参与者对预防这种依赖的必要性的认识的变化，(2)为参与者提供积极与其他参与者交往的机会，以及(3)提供一个计划，使参与者能够通过积累“成功经验”来感受自己的进步。我们的发现还表明，以下四个要素在护理干预中非常重要，以说服非参与者加入该项目：(1)开发有效促进的方法；(2)跨代发送信息；(3)基于小组和/或基于区域的方法；以及(4)在潜在参与者熟悉的地点举行的项目活动。

This study revealed three key elements in effectively supporting existing participants to continuously participate in a project for the prevention of dependence on long-term care : (1) encouragement to continue that considered changes in the participants' awareness of the need for preventing such dependence, (2) provision of opportunities for participants to socialize actively with fellow participants, and (3) provision of a program enabling participants to sense their advancement through the accumulation of "success experience". Our findings also suggested that the following four elements are important in nursing intervention in order to persuade nonparticipants to join the project : (1) development of approaches for effective promotion ; (2) sending information across generations ; (3) group-based and/or region-based approaches, and (4) project activities held at the sites familiar to potential participants.
