Abstract

Purpose: To examine the feasibility and acceptability of progressive whole-body resistance training with social support reinforcement for older adults living alone.

Method: This mixed methods single-group pilot study examined an intervention provided over 3 nonconsecutive days per week for 12 weeks. We evaluated quantitative data on recruitment, uptake, retention, and adherence, and measured pretest and posttest outcome scores on body composition, physical function, and psychosocial health. We conducted a focus group interview to collect qualitative data on participants' perspectives.

Results: Seven participants (five women and two men) completed the program (attendance rate = 88.9%). Physical function and psychosocial health improved, but soft lean and skeletal muscle mass decreased. Five themes emerged from the qualitative data.

Conclusion: Results support the feasibility and benefits of this intervention program for older adults living alone despite challenges with recruitment and uptake. [Journal of Gerontological Nursing, 50(10), 34-41.].

为独居老人提供社会支持强化的全身阻力训练的可行性：混合方法试点研究》。

目的：研究独居老年人在社会支持强化下进行渐进式全身阻力训练的可行性和可接受性：这项混合方法单组试点研究对每周 3 天非连续的 12 周干预措施进行了检验。我们评估了有关招募、吸收、保持和坚持的定量数据，并测量了有关身体成分、身体功能和社会心理健康的测试前和测试后结果分数。我们还进行了一次焦点小组访谈，以收集有关参与者观点的定性数据：结果：七名参与者（五名女性和两名男性）完成了该计划（参加率=88.9%）。身体功能和心理健康得到了改善，但软瘦肉和骨骼肌质量有所下降。从定性数据中得出了五个主题：尽管在招募和接受方面存在挑战，但结果支持这一针对独居老年人的干预计划的可行性和益处。[老年护理杂志》，50（10），34-41]。
