Trial Outcomes & Findings for Return to Everyday Activities in the Community and Home (NCT NCT02786394)

Results Overview

We will ask participants to report feedback and experience following each REACH session. As this was a pilot study we wanted to capture participants' perceptions of the program. When appropriate, we adjusted the content/delivery in consultation with participants. We also asked participants to rate their overall experience with REACH \[1 (low) - 7 (high)\].

Measure	REACH Participant Course This study will run twice a week over 6 weeks with 6 REACH sessions and optional walking program sessions. The optional walking program will be run by SportMedBC and may consist of one or more educational sessions (e.g., nutrition). Each REACH session introduces new topics, strength and balance activities and home practices which progressively build on each other. We will ask participants to provide feedback after each session, and in two to three 30 minutes recorded interviews (in-person or over the telephone) at the end of the study. REACH: REACH is a lifestyle intervention program which aims to reduce sedentary behaviour, increase physical activity, and increase strength and balance. The REACH program is comprised of six sessions which include evidence-based education, behaviour change theory, and activity instruction. REACH also teaches goal setting techniques, mindfulness, and encourages active community engagement. In this study we are running the REACH program for women aged 55 and older alongside a supplementary optional walking program run by SportMedBC.

REACH Session Feedback	5.94 score on a scale Standard Deviation 0.59

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 6 weeks

A questionnaire will be administered at the beginning and end of the REACH sessions to determine how the participant identifies themselves with regard to physical activity. The minimum score is 9 and the maximal score is 63; the higher the score the better.

Physical Activity Identity	46.2 score on a scale Standard Deviation 10.5

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 6 weeks

A questionnaire will be used to determine how the participant perceives their ability to stick with (follow through on) projects or goals. The higher the score the better. Scores range from 1 (not like me to) to 5 (very much like me).

Grit Score	4.1 score on a scale Interval 3.4 to 4.5

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 6 weeks

A questionnaire will be administered to determine the participant's level of automaticity for physical activity. Scores are based on a 7-point Likert scale (1=strongly disagree- 7=strongly agree). In other words, participants rate how "automatic" their behavior is for physical activity.
