摘要
目的：与年龄相关的肌肉质量和力量损失是长期护理（LTC）机构中老年人的高发疾病。这项试点研究旨在测试活力穴位冲刺（VA）运动计划对美国长期护理机构中可能患有肌肉疏松症的老年人的肌肉质量、肌肉力量、肌肉耐力、功能性体能、日常生活活动、生活质量和睡眠质量的影响，并了解参与 VA 计划的居民的体验。设计：本研究采用混合方法实验设计。方法：定量阶段包括随机分配到对照组（13 人）或 VA 组（14 人）的 27 名参与者。VA 条件包括每周三次、每次 40 分钟、为期 24 周的由教师指导的坐姿锻炼。分别在基线、三个月和六个月的时间间隔内进行测量。还进行了半结构化访谈，以了解参与者对该计划的体验。研究结果统计比较显示，VA 组的握力明显提高（p = .008）。叙事分析表明，该计划对参与者的日常生活产生了积极影响。结论：VA 计划为居住在长者护理机构、可能患有肌肉疏松症的老年人提供了一个全面、循证的锻炼计划。
Effects of the Vitality Acupunch Exercise Program on Older Adults With Probable Sarcopenia: A Mixed Methods Pilot Study.
Purpose: Age-related loss of muscle mass and strength is a highly prevalent condition in older adults in long-term care (LTC) facilities. This pilot study aimed to test the effects of a vitality acupunch (VA) exercise program on muscle mass, muscle strength, muscle endurance, functional fitness, activities of daily living, quality of life, and sleep quality of older adults in LTC facilities with probable sarcopenia in the United States and understand the experiences of residents who participated in the VA program. Design: A mixed-methods experimental design was used for this study. Methods: The quantitative phase included a sample of 27 participants randomly assigned to the control (n = 13) or VA (n = 14) condition. The VA condition consisted of three weekly 40-minute instructor-led seated exercise sessions over 24 weeks. Measures were obtained at baseline, three, and sixmonth intervals. Semi-structured interviews were conducted to explore participant's experiences of the program. Findings: Statistical comparison revealed significantly higher handgrip strength for the VA group (p = .008). Narrative analysis revealed that the program had a positive impact on participant's daily lives. Conclusions: The VA program offers a holistic, evidence-based exercise program for older adults with probable sarcopenia living in LTC facilities.
期刊介绍：
Manuscripts are solicited that deal with the processes of knowledge development and application including research, concept analysis and theory development, practical applications of research and theory, clinical case studies and analysis, practice applications in general, educational approaches and evaluation, and aesthetic expressions of holistic knowledge. While the journal seeks to support work grounded in evidence, the editorial philosophy suggests that there are many diverse sources of “evidence” beyond the realm of what is called “empirical” and that many methods are appropriate for discovering evidence and generating knowledge.
