Filter by:There will be a multi-channel approach to recruitment. Currently, ongoing projects within diverse communities lead in Swansea, Bridgend, and Neath Port Talbot will be approached, and this research will recruit alongside these projects. Regional coordinators and sub-coordinators will be contacted for recruitment, to best ensure participating older adults reflect the typical socio-demographics of Wales. This network will help the researchers to reach older adults who previously took part in different projects. Recruitment letter posters/leaflets will be used as an enrolment technique. Furthermore, the researchers will place advertisements across the University using the intranet and work alongside the City and County of Swansea, Neath Port Talbot, and Bridgend Borough Council to recruit using their sport, play, and community networks. The first stage of recruitment involves approaching diverse community organizations to formally request approval to recruit via their contacts. In-stage gatekeepers will be approached by the researcher to seek permission to contact potential participants via their organization. All interested participants will be asked to contact the researcher directly to further discuss the study and indicate their interest. All participants will provide written informed consent to participate in the study before the baseline assessment is conducted. Moreover, each older adult will receive a sleeping log (to record not wearing time), an accelerometer device, and instructions on how to attach and wear the device for 7 consecutive days. The primary researcher will be contacted if older adults have any queries or issues with the device. The participants will be subsequently randomized to an intervention group or comparison group on the basis of 1:1 allocation. All assessments including questionnaires and a 7-day accelerometer assessment will be repeated post-intervention. An Independent t-test will be run to assess the pre-post difference in the effectiveness of the trial in the intervention and comparison groups. The regression model will be applied to assess the impact of covariates with the dependent variables (MVPA, daily step count, self-efficacy, well-being, and sedentary behaviour). Qualitative data analysis of interview data will use reflexive thematic analysis to illustrate common themes regarding the acceptability of the feasibility trial.
Cerebral palsy (CP) is a chronic condition that causes the most childhood disabilities on worldwide. Impairment in movement and posture development seen in children with CP it causes difficulties in performing activities and affect in emotional, social, and cognitive abilities cause limited participation in everyday life. The ICF-CY child is divided into five categories: body structure and functions, activities, participation, environmental and personal factors, it is treated holistically. Initially, children with CP have adopted the view that environmental factors can also affect functionality, while focusing on the treatment of motor disorders to reduce activity and participation limitations in physiotherapy and rehabilitation applications. Environmental factors; the environment in which the child lives, his family, the devices he uses, health and care services, and government policies. These factors vary according to each country's own cultural and economic opportunities. The investigator planned to do this study because we found that there is a need for a comprehensive study of children with SP in Turkey, which does not reveal the relationship between environmental factors and activity and level of participation.
The purpose of this study is to test feasibility for the delivery and perceptions of a lifestyle model for middle-aged and older adults by involving participants in its development. The goal of the program is to reduce sedentary behaviour, increase physical activity, and increase strength and balance. An optional walking program will be run in parallel to emphasize the importance of moving more. Participants will be asked to fill out questionnaires on course delivery, content and effect throughout the program and 2-3 recorded interviews throughout the study. We will collect measurements of physical performance before and after the program.
