Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The "TakeCare!" study addresses the problem that vocational students of nursing care cope with great physical and psychological demands during their daily routines. To meet these demands, the Bavarian curriculum for generalist nurses has adopted the promotion of physical activity-related health competence (PAHCO) for vocational students. However, it must be assumed that the concept has not yet been adopted comprehensively across the Bavarian nursing landscape. Therefore, the "TakeCare!" study tackles the question of how PAHCO can be implemented most appropriately in Bavarian nursing schools. Drawing on experiences from the project PArC-AVE, three different dissemination approaches will being tested and compared with a control group. A total of 16 nursing schools from different regions of Bavaria will be assigned to four different study arms (cluster-randomized design). In the long term, the project aims to derive recommendations for all nursing schools in Bavaria.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Cooperative Planning for Promoting PAHCO

Participatively developed intervention concept by means of cooperative planning (Rütten, 1997) to promote physical activity-related health competence (PAHCO): A separate cooperative planning process will take place in each of the four schools in this study arm from April to November 2023. Within the framework of these processes, suitable interventions tailored to the target group and the school will be developed for the implementation of the curriculum content "PAHCO" with the participation of actors from science and practice (e.g., teachers, nursing students of the schools). The developed interventions will be implemented from December 2023 under the responsibility of the actors in the schools.

Expert-Based Intervention for Promoting PAHCO Delivered by External Physical Activity Specialists

Expert-based intervention concept with external physical activity specialists to promote physical activity-related health competence (PAHCO). We will develop a specific intervention concept for the implementation of the curriculum content "PAHCO" at nursing schools in Bavaria from April to November 2023. Currently (March 2022), it is planned that the intervention will comprise 12 sessions with a duration of 45 or 90 minutes. The entire intervention will be specified during the different steps of intervention mapping (i.e., needs assessment, goal formulation, screening evidence-based intervention content). Physical activity specialists (e.g. sports scientists, physiotherapists) will be trained to implement this expert-based intervention concept from December 2023 to March 2024.

Expert-Based Intervention for Promoting PAHCO Delivered by Teachers

Expert-based intervention concept with teachers as multipliers to promote physical activity-related health competence (PAHCO). We will develop a specific intervention concept for the implementation of the curriculum content "PAHCO" at nursing schools in Bavaria from April to November 2023. Currently (March 2022), it is planned that the intervention will comprise 12 sessions with a duration of 45 or 90 minutes. The entire intervention will be specified during the different steps of intervention mapping (i.e., needs assessment, goal formulation, screening evidence-based intervention content). Teachers of the participating nursing schools of this study arm will be trained to implement this expert-based intervention concept in their school from December 2023 to March 2024.
