摘要
该质量改进项目评估了针对有孤独和/或身体机能下降风险的老年退伍军人（OVs）的虚拟太极课程的实施情况。利用退伍军人事务部视频连接 (VVC)，在三个退伍军人事务部站点虚拟开展了为期 12 周的太极课程。根据 30 秒椅子站立 (30CST) 和 De Jong Gierveld 孤独感量表 (DJGS) 测量了身体功能的变化，还测量了退伍军人的满意度和坚持率。在 109 名参加计划的老年自愿者中，有 74 人完成了计划，平均出勤率为 84%。课程评价普遍非常积极。结果表明，虚拟太极课程对于面临孤独或身体机能下降风险的老年自愿者来说，是一种有效且非常令人满意的干预措施。
Evaluation of a Virtual Tai Chi Program for Older Veterans at Risk of Loneliness or Physical Deconditioning: A Quality Improvement Project
This Quality Improvement project evaluated the implementation of a virtual Tai Chi program for older Veterans (OVs) at risk of loneliness and/or physical deconditioning. A 12-week Tai Chi course was conducted virtually at three Veterans Affairs sites using VA Video Connect (VVC). Changes in physical function based on the 30-Second Chair Stand (30CST) and loneliness based on the De Jong Gierveld Loneliness Scale (DJGS) were measured, as were the OVs’ satisfaction and adherence. Of 109 OVs who enrolled, 74 completed the program with a mean attendance rate of 84%. Completers demonstrated a statistically significant improvement in the 30CST, and those who were moderately or severely lonely at baseline saw a statistically significant improvement in the DJGS. Course evaluations were generally very positive. Results suggest that a virtual Tai Chi program is an effective and very satisfying intervention for OVs at risk of loneliness or physical deconditioning.
