Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Introduction The outbreak of the Israeli-Hamas conflict on October 7, 2023, triggered widespread displacement, with over 115,000 Israelis evacuated, including 8685 individuals seeking refuge in Haifa. Among these evacuees, older adults face heightened health risks exacerbated, such as PTSD, depression and anxiety, by the trauma of displacement. Evacuation under the threat of war disturb normal living and leads towards a multitude of difficulties spanning various aspects of the evacuees' lives, including economic, environmental, physical and emotional well-being. Studies reveal that maintaining physical activity is crucial for reduction risk of cardiovascular mortality, cancer, recurrent falls, functional and mental decline and maintenance of well-being, yet it becomes challenging amidst the chaos of conflict and relocation.
The WHO recommends 150 minutes of weekly physical activity as a minimum to prevent common health disorders. However, older evacuees, having been displaced from their homes, may struggle to maintain an active lifestyle. After spending four months away from their natural environment, there is a pressing need to reintegrate them into physical activity routines to mitigate potential health risks. Due to the unclear future location of this population, it is important to provide them with the skills, and group support to empower them for sustainable independent walking for the long term.
Nordic walking (NW) is fitness walking with specifically designed poles and a learned technique to create a low stress, total body workout. NW has positive effects on mobility, rehabilitation, and general functioning. In older adults, NW was found effective in improving various age-related disorders: cardiovascular; metabolic; early Parkinson; obesity, and osteoarthritis. NW has also been shown to improve depression, mood, and quality of life.
NW has several biomechanical advantages over walking without poles: it increases gait speed, cardiovascular metabolism, and reduces lower limb and back loads. Increased exercise intensity and energy expenditure that are required in NW are advantageous for older adults to enhance muscle activation and strength. The poles' forward ambulation in NW induces longer steps, and a forceful foot takeoff facilitating higher intensity compared to walking without poles. This study aims to utilize NW benefits for regaining physical activity in a special population at these times of war- the older evacuees.
The proposed Nordic walking group training in Haifa seems to be the first to conduct such a program in Israeli evacuees, and if successful it could be implemented across the country.
The objective of this pilot study is to examine the feasibility of a Nordic walking group intervention to promote sustainable walking, and advance physical and mental health measures in older adults evacuated from their homes to Haifa.
Methods Design: A single-arm, pre-post-intervention. Ethics was approved by the Faculty's Ethics committee (Application no. ECH043693). The investigators plan to launch the first group on May 2024. Population: An exposure meeting was conducted on March 17th for the older adults from Kibutz Dan, and 31 registered to participate, age of 65+ years, free walking ability, medical approval by GP to participate.
The intervention will consist of 60-minute NW group sessions, twice weekly, for two months (total 16 sessions). Participants will be provided with NW sticks to use during the sessions. Each NW session will be led by a qualified healthcare professional that received 4 hours NW guidance qualification, and participated in 4 sessions prior to leading one. Current qualified healthcare professionals are 2 physiotherapists (HSB, HI), and a nurse (LKG). Final year physiotherapy students will assist the lead trainer, hence each session will be guided by two members of the research team- a clinician and a graduating student.
A social worker (SP) will participate in one weekly session aiming to empower the participants and utilize group dynamics techniques to promote successful continuation of independent walking following the guided period. SP will observe the members during training, and converse with them informally (no structured interviews will be included) to identify suitability for roles within the group, such as leading, supporting, adhering etc.
Communication throughout the study will be conducted via a WhatsApp forum, to motivate and sustain regular walking during and after the training period. Following 2 months of guidance the group will be launched independently, while keeping remote contact. Same frequency and schedule will be encouraged.
Procedure: All recruited participants will provide informed consent prior to their enrollment. Assessments will be conducted at baseline, following 2 months of guided sessions, and follow up after additional 2 and 4 months (total 6 months procedure).
Primary measures: (1) Adherence with independent walking for at least 150 minutes per week, over 4 months follow up. Optimal adherence outcome will be up to 20% absence. (2) Steps count- via a mobile application, will provide an objective quantified measure of walking. Secondary measures are detailed in the relevant section.
Data analysis The Friedman test will be used to compare Adherence across the time points (pre-, post-intervention, follow-up). A post hoc Wilcoxon signed-rank test will be conducted if the overall test shows significance with a Bonferroni correction to multiple testing. Significance levels will be set at 0.05. JMP and SPSS software will be used for statistical analysis.
In summary, this is one of the most challenging periods in Israeli history. For over four months, thousands of older Israelis have been evacuated from their homes. Providing Nordic walking to this population is an evidence based, effective, and safe training to provide them with. They need our assistance to prevent deuteriation of their mental and physical health.
After establishing the most effective format to sustain independent safe walking in older evacuees, the investigators will be able to expand it to the rest of the country - walking together for a better tomorrow.
Time plan: Planning, set up, trainers' qualification, and ethics revisions are in final stages at present. Data collection- 6 months; Data analysis- 3 months; Write up of findings for publication in Q1-2 journal- 3 months; Total duration- 12 months
Scope of Impact Our pilot study will help us determine whether the timeline to independence can be achieved, how to empower the group, barriers to compliance and adherence, and how to collect outcome measures efficiently. The investigators will be able to extend the customized model of this NW program to all hotels in Haifa, and if successful- to the rest of the country. Any older adult community could benefit from this model, so it may be applicable globally.
This is a collaborative study proposal between the Department of Physiotherapy and Gerontology in the University of Haifa and the Haifa district health bureau. This model, if found effective and beneficial, can be exported to other districts in Israel in collaboration with the Ministry of Health.
