Abstract Background The settings-based approach has become an increasing focus in health promotion since the World Health Organization’s 1986 Ottawa Charter. Schools and cities have implemented this approach, but development within sports clubs is limited. Thus, an internationally validated measurement of health promotion within this setting is lacking. Methods A modified Delphi study was completed to develop an international evaluation tool grounded in the settings-based approach. Expert panelists from academia, sports and health sectors were invited to participate in 3 online rounds. Items were generated or selected based on 3 prior Delphi-based studies and 2 nationally validated scales. Round one created a collaborative list of items, round two validated items based on relevance, importance and feasibility and the final round classified items into one of four determinants: cultural, social, environmental or economic. Results Panelists (69) from 13 countries participated in creating a final list of 62 items at 3 organizational levels. The sports club level included; 5 cultural, 6 social, 6 environmental and 5 economic items. The management level included; 5 cultural, 5 social, 5 environmental and 3 economic items. The coaching level included; 5 cultural, 5 social, 4 environmental and 4 economic items. Conclusions This study provides three important innovations; 1- it is rooted in theory through the settings-based approach, 2- the measurement tool includes three levels within sports clubs, capturing a whole club dynamic and 3- all items included in the tool have been validated by an international panel of experts. Key messages This 62-item measurement tool allows the comparison of perceptions from participants, coaches and management regarding how health is promoted within their sports club. This information offers insight on the capacity of sports clubs to implement and monitor policies and practices on the promotion of health beyond sports performance within their organization.

Health Promotion Activity

Settings-based approaches have become an increasing health promotion focus since the World Health Organization’s 1986 Ottawa Charter. While schools, cities, and prisons have implemented this approach, its development within sports environments is recent. Sports are a popular leisure-time activity, requiring validated tools to measure health promotion activity. This study’s aim was to develop a measurement tool based on international consensus that measures perceptions of health promotion within sports clubs. It is grounded in the settings-based approach and builds on theory from previous works expanding their context and knowledge. An online, three-round international Delphi study was conducted, inviting experts in sports and health fields to participate in designing the tool. Round 1 created a collaborative list of items; Round 2 validated items based on relevance, importance, and feasibility; and the final round classified items into one determinant category—social, cultural, environmental, or economic. Panelists (69 experts) from 13 countries participated, creating a final list of 62 items at 3 organizational levels; the sports club level included 23 items, the officials level retained 20 items, and the coaching level contained 19 items. This study provides several innovations: (1) applying the settings-based approach to health promotion within sports clubs, (2) defining each club level (sports club, official, coaching) and determinants (social, cultural, environmental, economic) within 3-levels, (3) creating a tool that measures perceptions of health-promotion activities per level and determinant, and (4) obtaining expert consensus on included items. These advancements allow further research on promoting health within sports clubs.

Abstract Background Researchers and policymakers have acknowledged sports clubs (SCs) as health promoting settings. Limited research links the health promoting sports club (HPSC) concept with evidence-driven strategies to offer SCs guidance to develop health promotion interventions. As implementation science insists on theoretically grounded interventions, this work's objective was to provide SCs an evidence-driven intervention framework for planning health promotions. Methods A 4-step process was undertaken: 1) investigate indicators for SCs to be considered health promoting, 2) adapt the theoretical HPSC concept to create a HPSC model, 3) reformulate published evidence-driven guidelines into implementable intervention components (ICs) and 4) merge the model with the ICs to provide an intervention planning framework for SCs. During 3 workshops, researchers defined the model elements and ICs. Workshop participants classified ICs into the HSPC model. Each IC could be classified multiple times within the model. Results Researchers drafted 5 HPSC indicators: 1) an approach embracing all SC actions, 2) involve all SC levels in actions and decisions, 3) involve external partners, 4) promoting health is continuous and iterative and 5) base actions on needs. To create the HPSC model, elements were defined: 3 SC levels (club, management, coaches) and 4 health determinants (organizational, social, environmental, economic) per level based on the indicators. Published guidelines from literature reviews aided in developing 14 strategies with 55 ICs. Workshop classification of ICs into the model included: club (n = 79), management (n = 67) and coaches (n = 48). Conclusions The theoretical HPSC model and intervention planning framework act as starting points to develop and implement interventions to increase HP efforts by stakeholders in several ways: 1) SCs can apply strategies based on goals, 2) SCs can target specific levels with corresponding ICs or 3) ICs can target specific health determinants. Key messages A Health Promoting Sports Club model defines 4 health determinants at 3 levels (coach, management operational) of sports clubs to plan, develop and implement targeted health promotion activities. This HPSC intervention planning framework has 14 strategies with 55 intervention components targeting multiple sports club levels giving stakeholders a path to become a health promoting sports club.

Systematic Mapping Review

Many researchers and authorities have recognized the important role that sports clubs can play in public health. In spite of attempts to create a theoretical framework in the early 2000s, a thorough understanding of sports clubs as a setting for health promotion (HP) is lacking. Despite calls for more effective, sustainable, and theoretically grounded interventions, previous literature reviews have identified no controlled studies assessing HP interventions in sports clubs. This systematic mapping review details how the settings-based approach is applied through HP interventions in sports clubs and highlights facilitators and barriers for sports clubs to become health-promoting settings. In addition, the mapped facilitators and barriers have been used to reformulate previous guidelines of HP in sports clubs. Seven databases were searched for empirical research published between 1986 and 2017. Fifty-eight studies were included, principally coming from Australia and Europe, describing 33 unique interventions, which targeted mostly male participants in team sports. The settings-based approach was not yet applied in sports clubs, as more than half of the interventions implemented in sports club targeted only one level of the socio-ecological model, as well as focused only on study participants rather than the club overall. Based on empirical data, the analysis of facilitators and barriers helped develop revised guidelines for sports clubs to implement settings-based HP. This will be particularly useful when implementing HP initiatives to aid in the development of sports clubs working with a whole setting approach.

Abstract Background Sports clubs offer a unique position to increase performance and physical activity but may also provide additional health promoting opportunities. Research is limited on support clubs need to increase health promotion efforts. This study took a participative approach to gather French stakeholder ideas on perceived assistance sports clubs need to increase health promotion efforts and prioritized them based on ratings of importance and feasibility. Methods This concept mapping study had 4-steps: 1) drafting a focus prompt to a key issue, 2) brainstorming ideas in response to the focus prompt, 3) sorting ideas into themed piles and 4) rating ideas (1-6) based on two indicators. French stakeholders (45) in sports and health organizations were invited to respond using the groupwisdom™ platform. Researchers produced visual cluster maps of themed piles and Go-Zone graphs displaying ideas perceived as important and feasible. Results Participants generated 62 ideas responding to the focus prompt: 'What assistance would benefit sports clubs to become health-promoting settings?'. Once researchers edited ideas, 78 were available to sort. Final sorting formed 9 clusters: Tools for health promotion, Communication tools, Stakeholder training courses, Diagnostic & Financing, Awareness & Mobilization, Advocacy, Policies & Methods, Sharing & Networking, Communication & Dissemination. Importance and feasibility ratings produced Go-Zones with 34 ideas above the mean for both indicators. Top focus areas include: increasing awareness of health promotion benefits, mobilizing actors, advocating for support and educating club actors. Conclusions Understanding support stakeholders need to increase health promotion efforts in sports clubs is a crucial step to plan and implement policies. Including stakeholders' perceptions helps establish effective interventions by increasing the possibility of integration into current or emerging policies and acceptance from those working in clubs. Key messages Generating and organizing stakeholder ideas gives insight into perceptions of what support is needed to develop and implement health promotion interventions in the sports club context. Based on importance and feasibility, sports clubs can increase health promotion efforts by focusing on: increasing awareness of health promotion benefits, mobilizing actors, advocacy and education.

Summary Researchers and policymakers acknowledge sports clubs (SCs) as health promoting settings. Limited research links the health promoting sports club (HPSC) concept with evidence-driven strategies to provide SCs guidance to develop health promotion (HP) interventions. As implementation science insists on theoretically grounded interventions, the present work’s objective was to provide SCs an evidence-driven intervention framework for planning, developing and implementing HP initiatives. Four iteratively sequenced steps were undertaken: (i) investigation of ‘health promoting’ indicators, (ii) adaptation of the HPSC concept to create the HPSC model, (iii) formulation of published evidence-driven guidelines into strategies and implementable intervention components (ICs) and (iv) merging the HPSC model with the ICs to create an intervention planning framework for SCs. First, researchers drafted five HPSC indicators. Second, they defined three SC levels (macro, meso and micro) and four health determinants (organizational, environmental, economic and social) to create an HPSC model. Third, researchers used published guidelines to develop 14 strategies with 55 ICs. Fourth, three workshops (one each with French master-level sport students, French sport and health professionals and Swedish sport and health professionals) had participants classify the ICs into the model. The HPSC model and intervention framework are starting points to plan, select and deliver interventions to increase SC HP. This planning framework is usable in several ways: (i) clubs can apply strategies to achieve specific goals, (ii) clubs can target specific levels with corresponding ICs and (iii) ICs can be used to address particular health determinants.

ObjectiveCommunity paramedicine programme are often designed to address repeated and non-urgent use of paramedic services by providing patients with alternatives to the traditional ‘treat and transport’ ambulance model of care. We sought to investigate the level of consensus that could be found by a panel of experts regarding appropriate health, social and environmental domains that should be assessed in community paramedicine home visit programme.DesignWe applied the RAND/UCLA Appropriateness Method in a modified Delphi method to investigate the level of consensus on assessment domains for use in community paramedicine home visit programme.Setting and participantsWe included a multi-national panel of 17 experts on community paramedicine and in-home assessment from multiple settings (paramedicine, primary care, mental health, home and community care, geriatric care).MeasuresA list of potential assessment categories was established after a targeted literature review and confirmed by panel members. Over multiple rounds, panel members scored the appropriateness of 48 assessment domains on a Likert scale from 0 (not appropriate) to 5 (very appropriate). Scores were then reviewed at an in-person meeting and a finalised list of assessment domains was generated.ResultsAfter the preliminary round of scoring, all 48 assessment domains had scores that demonstrated consensus. Nine assessment domains (18.8%) demonstrated a wider range of rated appropriateness. No domains were found to be not appropriate. Achieving consensus about the appropriateness of assessment domains on the first round of scoring negated the need for subsequent rounds of scoring. The in-person meeting resulted in re-grouping assessment domains and adding an additional domain about urinary continence.ConclusionAn international panel of experts with knowledge about in-home assessment by community paramedics demonstrated a high level of agreement on appropriate patient assessment domains for community paramedicine home visit programme. Community paramedicine home visit programme are likely to have similar patient populations. A standardised assessment instrument may be viable in multiple settings.

In this study, the quality management systems in sports clubs were handled specifically for amateur sports clubs and the perceptions of sports club managers regarding quality management systems were searched. The aim of the research is to determine whether the applications for total quality management in amateur sports clubs are implemented effectively and efficiently and to determine the precursors which have an impact on total quality management processes simultaneously. The scale developed by Özdemir (2015) was used to determine the perception of Total Quality Management in sports clubs as a measurement tool in the research. The survey sample is composed of 123 managers, including 4 female (3,3%) and 119 male (96,7%) volunteers who act as managers in the clubs operating under the Kocaeli Amateur Sports Clubs Federation and voluntarily respond to the questionnaires. Analyzes of the collected data using the total quality scale (Cronbach’s Alpha: 0,970). It is found that amateur sports clubs are positive towards the applicability of total quality management processes, whereas amateur sports clubs are positive about the applicability of total quality management processes, it is predicted that managers have sports history (μ = 4,022> μ = 3,98) The positive attitude towards the applicability of total quality management processes in the clubs was not the result of the managers being trained in sport management and quality system (μ = 3.99> μ = 4,03).

The settings-based approach to health promotion within sports clubs is a growing field of research. Evidence of health promotion intervention effectiveness in scientific literature is scarce, and little is known about their implementation mechanisms. The present study explores how promising health promotion interventions in eight French sports clubs are developed, and how the health promoting sports club’s intervention planning framework is applied. A method to collect Experiential Knowledge in health promotion was used, based on two iterative interviews to analyze intervention mechanisms and completed with document analysis. A deductive analysis using the health promoting sports club intervention planning framework was then undertaken. Among the 14 evidence-driven strategies, 13 were implemented in sports clubs (min = 9; max = 13). Policies were not targeted by any of the interventions. Key competencies of the managers of these health promotion interventions were identified: (1) having a deep understanding of the public and environment, (2) acquiring a high capacity to mobilize internal and external human resources, (3) possessing communication skills and (4) having an ability to write grant applications. By using evidence-driven strategies and intervention components, sports professionals can use this experiential knowledge to create successful and sustainable interventions.

Abstract Objective Physical therapists are well positioned to meet societal needs and reduce the global burden of noncommunicable diseases through the integration of evidence-based population health, prevention, health promotion, and wellness (PHPW) activities into practice. Little guidance exists regarding the specific PHPW competencies that entry-level clinicians ought to possess. The objective of this study was to establish consensus-based entry-level PHPW competencies for graduates of US-based physical therapist education programs. Methods In a 3-round modified Delphi study, a panel of experts (N = 37) informed the development of PHPW competencies for physical therapist professional education. The experts, including physical therapists representing diverse practice settings and geographical regions, assessed the relevance and clarity of 34 original competencies. Two criteria were used to establish consensus: a median score of 4 (very relevant) on a 5-point Likert scale, and 80% of participants perceiving the competency as very or extremely relevant. Results Twenty-five competencies achieved final consensus in 3 broad domains: preventive services and health promotion (n = 18), foundations of population health (n = 4), and health systems and policy (n = 3). Conclusions Adoption of the 25 accepted competencies would promote consistency across physical therapist education programs and help guide physical therapist educators as they seek to integrate PHPW content into professional curricula. Impact This is the first study to establish consensus-based competencies in the areas of PHPW for physical therapist professional education in the United States. These competencies ought to guide educators who are considering including or expanding PHPW content in their curricula. Development of such competencies is critical as we seek to contribute to the amelioration of chronic disease and transform society to improve the human experience.
