结局指标
主要结局
health empowerment level
时间窗: From enrollment to the end of treatment at 12 weeks
The Older Health Empowerment Evaluation Scale comprises six subdimensions: liability beliefs, knowledge and skills, external support, participation in health management, acceptance of change, and empowerment of others.35 The scale consists of 38 items. A Likert 5-point scoring method was employed, with a total score ranging from 38 to 190. A high score indicates a high level of health empowerment among older adults. The total Cronbach's α coefficient was 0.959, with the Cronbach's α coefficient of each dimension ranging from 0.827 to 0.890. This scale was used to replace the chronic disease older health empowerment scale, mainly to better assess health empowerment in older adults and reflect subtle but significant differences in empowerment levels between the older groups.
