Brief Summary

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

This project was aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of the competence training program in improving the knowledge and skills of volunteer work, the motivation for volunteering, self-efficacy, and satisfaction with volunteer work among older volunteers.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

A cluster-randomized controlled trial was conducted to test the effects of a 3-month comprehensive competence training program in improving the knowledge and skills of volunteer work, the motivation for volunteering, self-efficacy, and satisfaction with volunteer work among older volunteers. Using convenience sampling, 10 senior activity centers with 162 older volunteers were recruited and cluster-randomized to the intervention group (5 centers) or wait-list comparison group (5 centers). The intervention group received a 3-hour weekly course training session in four consecutive weeks and provided services to community-dwelling older adults for two months; the comparison group provided their routine services at senior activity centers. Data were collected at baseline, one month, and three months into the study.
