简要总结
This study aims to explore the feasibility and preliminary effectiveness of a mobile phone-based intervention among elderly individuals with chronic diseases.
详细描述
Promoting physical activity among elderly individuals is an increasingly critical public health priority. Regular exercise is essential for maintaining mobility, enhancing mental well-being, and reducing the risk of exacerbating chronic conditions. However, many elderly individuals encounter significant barriers, including physical limitations, lack of motivation, and restricted access to safe environments.
This mobile phone-based intervention seeks to address these challenges by offering accessible support through age-appropriate exercise routines, motivational prompts, and educational content delivered directly to participants' mobile devices. The intervention's primary objective is to reduce sedentary behavior, increase physical activity levels, and ultimately enhance the overall health and well-being of elderly individuals with chronic diseases.

结局指标
主要结局
Time spent in sedentary behavior
时间窗: 3 and 6 months follow-up
The time spent sedentary behavior (min/week) in the last 7 days
Acceptability of the Mobile Phone-Based Intervention
时间窗: 3 and 6 months follow-up
Acceptability will be assessed using a series of 4 items from previous studies on mobile physical activity interventions. Participants will rate each statement on a 5-point Likert scale, ranging from 1 (strongly disagree) to 5 (strongly agree). The statements will cover aspects such as ease of use, personal relevance, clarity of information, and overall satisfaction with the intervention.
Perceived Usefulness of the Mobile Phone-Based Intervention
时间窗: 3 and 6 months follow-up
Perceived usefulness will be assessed using 5 items from previous studies on online physical activity interventions. Participants will rate each question on a 5-point Likert scale, ranging from 1 (not at all useful) to 5 (very useful). The questions will explore how useful participants found the intervention in helping them to (1) increase confidence in engaging in regular physical activity, (2) overcome barriers to physical activity, (3) increase support for participating in physical activity, (4) plan for physical activity, and (5) stay motivated to engage in physical activity.
次要结局
- Anxiety and depression(3 and 6 months follow-up)
- Perceived subjective happiness(3 and 6 months follow-up)
- Time spent in zero-time exercise(3 and 6 months follow-up)
- Exercise self-efficacy(3 and 6 months follow-up)
- Perceived life satisfaction(3 and 6 months follow-up)
