Abstract Residents in assisted living settings engage in limited amounts of physical activity and decline functionally more rapidly than peers in nursing homes. To address the persistent functional decline and increased time spent in sedentary activity Function Focused Care was developed. Function Focused Care involves teaching caregivers to evaluate residents’ underlying functional capability and physical activity and engage them in physical activity during all care interactions. Prior research has demonstrated that implementing function focused care improves or maintains function and increases physical activity, improves mood and decreases behavioral symptoms among residents. To optimize implementation of Function Focused Care a theoretically based implementation strategy, Function Focused Care for Assisted Living Using the Evidence Integration Triangle (FFC-AL-EIT), was developed. FFC-AL-EIT combines the social ecological model, social cognitive theory and the Evidence Integration Triangle. The social ecological model includes intrapersonal, interpersonal, environmental, and policy factors that influence behavior. Social cognitive theory guides the interpersonal interactions that motivate caregivers and residents to engage in function focused care. Lastly, the Evidence Integration Triangle facilitates systemic implementation of function focused care. A total of 85 facilities from three states were randomized (FFC-AL-EIT versus Education Only) and 794 residents consented. The Reach, Effectiveness, Adoption, Implementation, and Maintenance (RE-AIM) model was used to evaluate outcomes. This symposium will provide the implementation outcomes and value of the Evidence Integration Triangle, the effectiveness of FFC-AL-EIT on function and physical activity and the effectiveness on psychosocial outcomes and care interactions.

Objective: This study aimed to investigate how well a single higher education institution (HEI) was perceived to be meeting the psychosocial support needs of refugee students and to identify possible ways in which the HEI might better promote refugee students’ psychosocial well-being. Design: Adopting an exploratory, focused case study design, the research employed a qualitative interpretive approach utilising three data collection methods: narrative inquiry, Photovoice and key informant interviews. The social ecological model and the health-promoting university approach guided the enquiry and analysis. Setting: A single HEI in London, UK. Results: Refugee student-participants reported stressful and traumatic experiences at different points in their migratory experience. Participants were motivated by being involved in education but identified barriers to seeking institutional support to improve their health and well-being. Student-participants and staff identified ways in which support for refugee student well-being could be improved. Conclusion: Refugee students were found to have specific health and well-being support needs which were not met due to a range of organisational constraints. The social ecological model and the health-promoting university offer frameworks for HEIs to respond better to the diverse health and well-being needs of students.

Sports And Physical Activity

<p>Female university students’ participation rates in sports and physical activity have been low for decades in China. The purpose of this study is to identify the factors that impact female university students’ participation in sports and physical activities. This study is grounded in the theoretical underpinnings of a social-ecological model of influences on participation in sports and physical activity. The study was conducted in China and focuses on an identification of the factors that impact the participation rate of female university students aged 18 to 22. Questionnaires were distributed to 2000 female university students between the ages of 18 and 22 in 11 cities. The study yielded several interesting findings. First, female university students who infrequently participated in sports and physical activity primarily experienced strong intrapersonal barriers, whereas those who often engaged in sports and physical activity were more likely to encounter greater environmental barriers. Second, the factors examined using a social-ecological model that most affected female university students’ participation in sports and physical activity included personal physiological factors, participation and the support of people around them, site and natural environmental factors, and a lack of female sports facilities and exercise opportunities for women.</p>

Hispanic women are less physically active and have higher rates of type 2 diabetes (DM2) when compared with other population groups. This review uses the social ecological model as a framework to identify the individual and social environmental factors associated with successful physical activity (PA) interventions for Hispanic women with DM2. Research questions include (a) Which social ecological levels have been applied to PA interventions? (b) Which individual and social environmental intervention strategies are associated with successful PA outcomes? Database searches using CINAHL, PubMed, and Scopus for the years 2000 to 2015 identified 10 studies; with 6 using quasi-experimental study designs and 4 using randomized controlled designs. Inclusion criteria were Hispanic/Latina women with DM2, ≥70% women, PA interventions, measures of PA, and quantitative designs. Future research should focus on a combination of intervention levels, and DM2 programs should place a greater emphasis on PA intervention strategies.

Various programs have been developed in different countries to encourage physical activity (PA) of older adults; however, older adults themselves have rarely been included in the development of such interventions. This article explores the meanings that people aged 50 years and above attribute to PA and their own engagement in PA, in the framework of a social-ecological model (SEM). In particular, we focus on the motivations and barriers they identified to their PA. We draw on focus group interviews with 44 older adults between the ages of 50 and 80 years, based in Estonia. Our findings suggest that it is important to use an expanded definition of PA (in older age), to include the diverse and perhaps unexpected ways in which people use their bodies and keep fit in different contexts. Based on our findings, we offer developments to existing versions of the SEM, highlighting the interconnectedness of all of its levels and propose ways to encourage PA of older adults.
