Brief Summary

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

This study aimed to develop a health promotion behavior intervention for elderly migrants and evaluate its effects, in order to provide insights for enhancing health-promoting behaviors among elderly migrants, improving community-based health management services for this population, and addressing health challenges related to migration in an aging society.

Detailed Description

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

This study employed a randomized controlled trial design, with elderly migrants in Huzhou City as participants, randomly assigned to either an intervention or control group. The control group received routine community care, while the intervention group underwent a 12-week "Health Promotion Behavior Intervention Program for Elderly Migrants" based on the Behaviour Change Wheel (BCW) theory. The intervention targeted motivation, capability, and opportunity through six dimensions, including health habits, social participation, and health responsibility, delivered via group interactions, face-to-face sessions, online resources, and community activities. Standardized scales were used to assess health promotion behaviors, self-perceived aging, family care, and loneliness at baseline, 6 weeks, and post-intervention. Data analysis involved Shapiro-Wilk tests, Mann-Whitney U tests, and Wilcoxon signed-rank tests.

Health Promotion Behavior Intervention + Routine Community Nursing and Management

In addition to routine community nursing and management, the experimental group of elderly migrants also received the health promotion behavior intervention program developed in this study.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Health Promotion Behavior Intervention Program

Intervention Type OTHER

The intervention program is structured around a three-step framework: ① building motivation and providing opportunities; ② reinforcing motivation, enhancing capabilities, and providing opportunities; and ③ sustaining motivation, strengthening capabilities, and providing opportunities. The process involves assessing the current state of health-promoting behaviors among elderly migrants, implementing interventions to promote these behaviors, and evaluating the effectiveness of the interventions. The program spans 12 weeks and is carried out by a team of researchers and nursing students. Key intervention components include: ① helping elderly migrants recognize their health issues, analyzing the impact of migration on health-promoting behaviors, and emphasizing the importance of such behaviors through comparisons of negative and positive case studies; ② conducting thematic training on health habits, dietary nutrition, exercise safety, oral hygiene, and other topics through health lectures,

routine community nursing and management only

The control group of elderly migrants received routine community nursing and management, which primarily included distributing health manuals, conducting regular health education activities, follow-up visits, etc.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

receiving routine community care and management only

Intervention Type OTHER

It primarily included distributing health manuals, conducting regular health education sessions, and performing follow-ups. Researchers and community nurses collected and addressed health-related inquiries raised by the elderly migrants. Additionally, to ensure scientific rigor and equity in the study, compensatory interventions (such as providing equivalent intervention opportunities or distributing relevant intervention materials) were offered to participants based on their actual needs upon completion of the research project.
