Pros And Cons

The transtheoretical model (TTM) was developed as a guide for understanding behavior change. Little attention has been given, however, to the appropriateness of the TTM for explaining the adoption of exercise behavior in older adults. The purposes of this study were to determine the reliability of the TTM instruments and validate TTM predictions in 86 community-dwelling older adults (mean age 75.1 ± 7.0 years, 87% women) who were participants in a 16-week walking program. TTM construct scales—self-efficacy, decisional balance (pros and cons), and processes of change (behavioral and cognitive)—were generally reliable (all α > .78). Behavioral processes of change increased from baseline to follow-up, but pros, cons, and cognitive processes did not change among participants who became regular exercisers. Stage of change did not predict exercise adoption, but baseline self-efficacy predicted walking behavior. These results lend partial support to the TTM in predicting exercise behavior.

Community Dwelling Older Adults

Studien undersöker genomförbarheten av ett nytt judoinspirerat träningsprogram för äldre personer, Judo4Balance. Vi utvärderade genomförbarheten inför en fullskalig studie genom att följa studieprocess, resurshantering och vetenskapliga aspekter. Ytterligare utfallsmått var fysisk funktion, tilltro till egen förmåga att utföra aktiviteter utan att falla samt falltekniker. Interventionen bedömdes vara genomförbar, med vissa ändringar i träningsprogrammets längd. Vi kunde se signifikanta förbättringar av fysisk funktion och falltekniker. När det gäller tilltro till egen förmåga att utföra aktiviteter utan att falla fann vi ingen motsvarande skillnad. Judo4Balance är ett genomförbart och effektivt träningsprogram för äldre personer. Studien bidrar till ett säkert och noggrant planerat protokoll för en större studie. Resultaten tyder på att interventionen kan vara effektiv för att förebygga fallolyckor och minska risken för skador vid ett eventuellt fall.   Pilot study of the feasibility of Judo4Balance – a fall preventive exercise programme targeting older adults living in their own homes The aim of this study was to assess the feasibility of Judo4Balance, a novel judo-inspired exercise intervention for community-dwelling older adults. The feasibility of carrying out a full-scale study was evaluated by the following: the study process, resource management and scientific aspects. The outcome measures evaluated were physical performance, fall related self-efficacy and fall techniques (backwards and forwards) among the older adults. The intervention was judged to be feasible in the different settings, with some changes regarding duration of the intervention. Significant improvements were seen in physical performance and fall techniques, but not for fall related self-efficacy. Judo4Balance is a feasible intervention for active older adults. This study will provide a safe and thoroughly planned protocol for the planned study and provides indication of appropriate setting depending on the target group. The results suggest that the intervention could be efficent in preventing fall accidents, or lower the risk of injury in case of a fall.

Abstract Objective The objective of this paper is to investigate the role of test anxiety and memory self-efficacy on memory performances in older adults. Method One hundred cognitively normal, community-dwelling older adults aged 65+ participated used in this experimental study. Participants completed baseline evaluations (including pre-test anxiety) prior to being assigned to one of two experimental conditions in which they experienced either success or failure on a verbal test. They subsequently completed post-test anxiety ratings, a measure of memory self-efficacy (Memory Self-Efficacy Questionnaire), and standardized tasks of working memory and verbal episodic memory. Results Following experimental manipulation, participants in the pre-test failure condition demonstrated higher anxiety and lower memory performances. Hierarchical regression revealed that change in anxiety from pre-test to post-test predicted memory performances and mediation analyses demonstrated that these effects were explained by lower memory self-efficacy. Conclusions For older adults, experiencing test failure prior to memory testing may result in increased test anxiety and lower memory self-efficacy leading to poorer memory performance. This has implications for diagnostic cognitive assessment for older people.

Abstract Introduction Older people are known as digital immigrants who are not born in the digital age and face many difficulties to effectively use information technology (IT). Therefore, the role of behavioral intervention such as observational learning becomes increasingly salient to assist older people to learn IT skills for better technology adoption. This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of observational learning through behavior modeling in enhancing older adults’ IT acceptance. It is also expected that model identity from generational perspective (i.e., child, young, peer) would moderate the observational learning outcomes. Method Drawing from the social cognitive theory, observational learning experiment was conducted using a between-group design, wherein 59 community-dwelling Chinese older adults from Hong Kong completed all tasks. Three learning groups with different behavior models were set, viz, a child model group (21 older learners), a young model group (19 older learners), and a peer model group (19 older learners). Training outcomes were measured through objective quiz and subjective questionnaire. The pre and post learning differences, between group differences, and the effects of learning outcomes on usage intention were analyzed using paired t-test, ANOVA test, and multiple linear regression, respectively. Results This study affirmed the effectiveness of observational learning in improving older adults’ technology knowledge, self-efficacy, outcome expectations, and sense of social connectedness of using IT (all with p < 0.01). From generational perspectives, peer model is more influential than young or child model in increasing older adults’ self-efficacy (F = 3.878; p < 0.05) and willingness regarding using IT (F = 6.031; p < 0.01). Conclusion Results of this study contribute to the innovation of behavior intervention techniques for older adults to enhance their IT adoption. From the practical aspect, the results offer fresh insights for practitioners and trainers who design and deliver technology training programs for older adults.

Physical Activity Levels

According to Bandura’s social-cognitive theory, perceptions of somatic and affective barriers are sources of self-efficacy. This longitudinal study compares general indicators of health barriers with measures of perceived somatic and affective barriers to predict self-efficacy and accelerometer-assessed physical activity in a subsample of n = 153 (selected at random from N = 310) community-dwelling German older adults. Perceived somatic and affective barriers longitudinally predicted physical activity mediated by self-efficacy, whereas general health barriers did not. Perceived health barriers to physical activity might be more important than more objective health barriers for older adults’ physical activity levels.
