Physical Activity Intervention for Loneliness

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study will be to examine the feasibility of a Physical Activity Intervention for Loneliness (PAIL) in community-dwelling older adults. The research is a feasibility study designed as a two-arm randomised controlled trial (RCT) with a wait-list control group (intervention will be offered at 12 weeks to control group).

Clinical Trial Description

After an initial screening for the eligibility based on current physical activity and levels of loneliness, up to 40 eligible participants will be randomised into the experimental or control group. Participants in the intervention group will be offered a 12-week outdoor group walking and health education workshops intervention. Each session will be performed once weekly for up to 90 minutes per session. Participants in the control group will be asked to maintain their current level of physical activity. Baseline and immediate post-intervention assessments will include anthropometry (height, weight, BMI), assessment of the resting blood pressure, physical activity for a 7-day period using accelerometer, questionnaires to assess loneliness, social support, social networks, social contacts, anxiety and depression, and expected outcomes of, and barriers to, exercise. Focus groups with participants will be conducted at 4 weeks mid-point and post-intervention to assess how the intervention might be improved; focus group transcripts will be thematically analysed using a phenomenological approach. ;
