Brief Summary

The Theory of Planned Behavior has been successfully used in several programs to improve physical activity behavior. In this project, it is aimed to assess the effectiveness of Theory of Planned Behavior based physical activity intervention applied to 55-74 years old people living in nursing home in Turkey.

GroupInterventionDescription
InterventionTheory of Planned Behavior based Physical Activity InterventionQuasi-experimental design with one-group, pre-post test A nurse-led Theory of Planned Behavior based Physical Activity intervention consists of five component. These are a health education, a group walking, an individually tailored counseling session grounded on motivational interview technique, having the individuals keep track their physical activity levels with a pedometer, and use of physical activity pamphlet and posters as a reminder was planned. This intervention will be completed in eight weeks.
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change in average daily stepsAverage daily steps will be assessed intervention period at week 3-8 and 1 , 2 and 3 months follow-up visits.

The number of steps weekly by the pedometer.

The number of steps will be evaluated for the first time in the 3rd week of the intervention and each week until the end of the intervention (week 3-8).

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Changes in heart rateHeart rate will be assessed baseline, before and after group walking and 1 , 2 and 3 months follow-up visits

Heart rate will be assessed between baseline, before and after group walking and 1, 2, 3 months after the intervention using blood pressure monitors (Omron M3 Comfort®, HEM-7134-E)

Change in theory of planned behavior componentBaseline,3-month follow up.

Theory of planned behavior components are including attitude, subjective norm, perceived behavior control, intention and behavior. The response used likert 1-7 format.

Change in The Problem Rating ScaleChange in physical activity will be assessed baseline, the week right after the intervention and 1 , 2 and 3 months follow-up visits

The Omaha System include three components which are the Problem Classification Scheme, the Intervention Scheme, and the Problem Rating Scale for Outcomes. In this study, the Problem Rating Scale is used that evaluates the level of the problem and the results of the intervention. Change in physical activity measured with Omaha System Problem Rating Scale for Outcomes in which knowledge, behavior, status are rated on five-point Likert-type scales (1 = lowest / worse score, 5 = highest /best score). For example, a nurse may document a client's physical activity Knowledge as 1 (no knowledge), Behavior as 4 (Usually appropriate behavior), and Status as 2 (Severe signs/ symptoms).

Changes in health-related quality of lifeHealth-related quality of life will be assessed baseline, the week right after the intervention and 1, 2 and 3 months follow-up visits

EQ-5D three-level version (EQ-5D-3L) descriptive systems is a five-dimensions questionnaire about the topics "mobility", "self-care", "usual-activities", "pain/discomfort" and "anxiety/depression".

Changes in EQ-VASVisual analogue scale (VAS) of EQ-5D Questionnaire will be assessed baseline, the week right after the intervention and 1, 2 and 3 months follow-up visits

Visual analogue scale (VAS) of EQ-5D Questionnaire scaled from 0-100, corresponding to the worse and the best health imagined

Changes in Blood PressureBlood pressure will be assessed baseline, before and after group walking and 1, 2 and 3 months follow-up visits

Blood pressure will be assessed between baseline, before and after group walking and 1, 2, 3 months after the intervention using the upper arm blood pressure monitors (Omron M3 Comfort®, HEM-7134-E)

Change in Body Mass Index (BKI)BKI will be assessed baseline, the week right after the intervention and 3 months follow-up visit

Weight (kg) will be measured using a balance scale with the measurement taken to the nearest 0.1 kg. Height (cm) will be measured using a stadiometer with the measurement taken to the nearest 0,5 cm. Weight and Height measurements will be then used to calculate the body mass index \[BMI: Weight (kg) / (Height) 2 (m2)\].

Change in waist hip ratioWaist / hip ratio will be assessed baseline, the week right after the intervention and 3 months follow-up visit

Waist circumference was measured at the level of the umbilicus to the nearest 0.1 cm. Hip circumference was measured at the level of the trochanter major. The waist / hip ratio was calculated as waist circumference (cm)/ hip circumference (cm).
