简要总结
Most children with congenital heart disease (CHD) are expected to survive until adulthood. In addition to physical limitations, the growing adolescents with CHD are also challenged at the psychosocial domains. Previous studies have investigated the frailty of elderly, but the research on the intervention to the frailty of adolescents with CHD has been limited. The aims of this study will apply the Walking Instruction based on Self-Efficacy (WISE) program to examine the long-term effects of improving frailty state and quality of life for adolescents with CHD.
详细描述
This proposal will conduct a three-year series of studies. In the first year, a cross-sectional survey will be used to evaluate the applicability of the Fried frailty index to adolescents with CHD, and to examine the correlation between frailty index and quality of life in adolescent patients. In the second year, investigators will conduct individual in-depth interviews with selected pre-frailty/frailty adolescent participants and their main caregivers to gain insights into their views, connotations and support needs for frailty, which will serve as the basis for the design of the next interventional study. In the third year, the WISE program will be developed to provide 12-week walking self-efficacy improvement education strategies and exercise bracelets with heart rate monitoring. The recruited pre-frailty/frailty adolescent participants will be randomly assigned to experimental and control groups respectively in the pretest-posttest control group design. The changes in frailty state and quality of life for the two groups will be evaluated at 6, 12 and 24 weeks. The results of this study can provide frailty evaluation indicators for adolescents with CHD, timely detect the pre-frailty stage, and provide an important reference for the prevention of frailty intervention for adolescents with CHD as early as possible.

研究组 & 干预措施
Experimental - with WISE
The experimental group will provide walking health education leaflets and exercise measurement wristbands for exercise monitoring, and will be given the intervention of the WISE program: three times a week, each time walking for at least 30 minutes, with a pace between 100-130 steps/ minutes, and then increase the number or time weekly according to personal ability.
干预措施: with WISE (Walking Instruction based on Self-Efficacy) (Behavioral)
Control - without WISE
The procedure of the control group will be the same as that of the experimental group, providing walking and health education leaflets and exercise measurement wristbands for exercise monitoring, but no intervention in the WISE program.
干预措施: without WISE (Walking Instruction based on Self-Efficacy) (Behavioral)
结局指标
主要结局
Frailty Status
时间窗: change from baseline to post-intervention at 24-week follow-up
The frailty phenotype and measurement method proposed by Fried et al. (2001) were modified to be suitable for use by adolescents. The five aspects of the assessment included decreased muscle strength, slow walking, thin body composition, self-reported fatigue and Decreased physical activity.
次要结局
- Quality of life for adolescents with congenital heart disease(change from baseline to post-intervention at 24 week follow-up)
