Brief Summary

The primary aim of this research is to evaluate the implementation of an online tele-coaching community-based exercise (CBE) intervention with adults living with HIV.

Detailed Description

Investigators will use the RE-AIM (Reach-Effectiveness-Adoption-Implementation-Maintenance) Framework to evaluate the tele-coaching CBE intervention. The RE-AIM Framework includes criteria to evaluate the impact and translation of an intervention at both individual and organizational levels in order to promote uptake, transferability and ultimate enhance the impact of health promotion interventions.

Specific study objectives are: 1) To determine the extent (proportion of sessions attended, frequency, intensity, time, type) to which adults living with HIV participate in the intervention (Reach); 2) To assess the impact of the intervention on physical activity, health, and engagement in the care cascade (Effectiveness); 3) To assess engagement in exercise for adults living with HIV over time (physical activity, adherence) (Maintenance); and 4) To evaluate the a) process (strengths, challenges, accessibility, cost, fidelity) and b) feasibility of sustainability of the implementation, from the perspective of adults living with HIV, representatives of community-based organizations (CBOs), health and fitness centres, health providers, and policy stakeholders to build capacity, products, and considerations for broader implementation (Implementation and Adoption).

Investigators will conduct a prospective longitudinal mixed methods intervention study to evaluate the implementation of an innovative online tele-coaching CBE intervention with adults living with HIV. They will use a combination of quantitative (self-reported questionnaires, fitness assessments) to assess outcomes bimonthly during the tele-coaching CBE intervention (6 months) and during a follow-up monitoring phase (6 months) to evaluate the short and long term impact of online CBE. Investigators will use a qualitative longitudinal design using interviews to assess processes and outcomes at baseline (0 months), post-intervention (6 months) and post-follow-up (12 months).

Tele-Coaching (Online) Community-Based ExerciseTele-Coaching (Online) Community-Based ExerciseThis study involves two phases: a six month online Community-Based Exercise Intervention (Phase 1), followed by a six month Follow-Up Monitoring Phase (Phase 2).
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Physical ActivityWeekly outcome assessment throughout the intervention phase (6 months) and follow-up monitoring phase (6 months) for a total of 12 months (48 weeks).

Change in trend (slope) in self-reported physical activity during the intervention phase (6 months) and the follow-up phase (6 months) as measured by i) whether they achieved the weekly recommended Canadian Physical Activity Guidelines, and ii) the number of days in the past week engaged in ≥30 min of moderate to vigorous physical activity (single item physical activity questionnaire).

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
HealthBimonthly outcome assessment throughout the intervention phase (6 months) and follow-up monitoring phase (6 months) for a total of 13 time points.

Change in trend (slope) in disability as during the intervention phase (6 months) and the follow-up phase (6 months) as measured by the EQ-5D-5L.

DisabilityBimonthly outcome assessment throughout the intervention phase (6 months) and follow-up monitoring phase (6 months) for a total of 13 time points.

Change in trend (slope) in disability as during the intervention phase (6 months) and the follow-up phase (6 months) as measured by the Short Form HIV Disability Questionnaire (SF-HDQ).

Engagement in CareBimonthly outcome assessment throughout the intervention phase (6 months) and follow-up monitoring phase (6 months) for a total of 13 time points.

Change in trend (slope) in disability as during the intervention phase (6 months) and the follow-up phase (6 months) as measured by the HIV Index of Engagement questionnaire.

Mental HealthBimonthly outcome assessment throughout the intervention phase (6 months) and follow-up monitoring phase (6 months) for a total of 13 time points.
