Abstract
Background
Several lines of gerontology researches support the efficacy of physical activity, and behavioural modification interventions in a large population. However, the true impact of this kind of intervention on the subjective well-being of community-based older adults is still unknown. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the true effects of physical, and behavioral interventions on the subjective well-being (WB) of high-risk older adults.
Methods
The search process was carried out from January 2023 to May 2023; following databases were searched to pool all the relevant scientific papers: PubMed (Web of Science (1950–January 2020), Medline (2006–2021), Scopus (1978–2022), Springer (2008–2020), Science Direct (1978–2021), Google Scholar (2010–2020), and Mandalay (2014–2023). Checking the reference lists; searching for ongoing trials and research registers; and performing manual searches. Two independent authors did this, and a third independent author tested the data extraction. We adopted the PRISMA guidelines.
Results
The review included 12 randomized controlled trials (RCTs) with 2037 community-based older adults. The overall effect size of physical, and behavioral interventions on the overall subjective WB of community based older adults was −0.0274 (95 % CI: −0.6697 to 0.8950), which was statistically significant (Z = 0.03752, p.0.02075). Five studies had shown statistically significant improvements in Quality Of life (QOL) scales in the intervention group compared to the control group
Conclusion
Physical, and behavioral intervention when blended together improve the WB of community based high-risk older adults. Further research with appropriate randomization, and allocation maybe needed.
期刊介绍:
International Journal of Africa Nursing Sciences (IJANS) is an international scientific journal published by Elsevier. The broad-based journal was founded on two key tenets, i.e. to publish the most exciting research with respect to the subjects of Nursing and Midwifery in Africa, and secondly, to advance the international understanding and development of nursing and midwifery in Africa, both as a profession and as an academic discipline. The fully refereed journal provides a forum for all aspects of nursing and midwifery sciences, especially new trends and advances. The journal call for original research papers, systematic and scholarly review articles, and critical papers which will stimulate debate on research, policy, theory or philosophy of nursing as related to nursing and midwifery in Africa, technical reports, and short communications, and which will meet the journal''s high academic and ethical standards. Manuscripts of nursing practice, education, management, and research are encouraged. The journal values critical scholarly debate on issues that have strategic significance for educators, practitioners, leaders and policy-makers of nursing and midwifery in Africa. The journal publishes the highest quality scholarly contributions reflecting the diversity of nursing, and is also inviting international scholars who are engaged with nursing and midwifery in Africa to contribute to the journal. We will only publish work that demonstrates the use of rigorous methodology as well as by publishing papers that highlight the theoretical underpinnings of nursing and midwifery as it relates to the Africa context.
