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项目的三个关键要素：（1）鼓励参与者在预防这种依赖的必要性方面继续进行深思熟虑的改变，（2）为参与者提供与其他参与者积极交往的机会，（3）提供一个让参加者通过积累“成功经验”来感受自己进步的计划。我们的研究结果还表明，以下四个要素是重要的护理干预，以说服非参与者加入该项目：（1）有效的推广方法的发展;（2）跨代发送信息;（3）基于组和/或区域为基础的方法，（4）在熟悉的潜在参与者的网站举行的项目活动。

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.
