Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine the feasibility of VIrtual Motivational INTerviewing (VIMINT) to promote physical activity levels among older adults; post-intervention and at two-month follow-up.

Description:

Evidence shows that moderate and regular physical activity is associated with the prevention of non-communicable diseases, increased bone density, reduced risk of dementia, and prevention of falls among older adults. Despite the numerous benefits of physical activity, many older adults do not meet the recommended physical activity guidelines of 150 min/week of moderate-to-vigorous intensity physical activity in Canada. MI is a client-centered counselling style for strengthening a person's own motivation and commitment to change. MI helps evoke the person's own motivation for changes through reflective listening, engaging, evoking, and planning. MI has shown to be promising in the general adult population for improving physical activity levels, however, there were mixed results for the effectiveness of MI among older adults. In addition, based on the available evidence, there are no studies evaluating the potential long-term effects of MI on physical activity levels among older adults. This feasibility study is necessary to explore possible challenges that may be encountered in the future larger trial with a two-month follow-up. Due to the recent pandemic (COVID-19), the intervention will be conducted virtually through the videoconferencing platform (Zoom). Therefore, the purpose of this study is to determine the feasibility of VIrtual Motivational INTerviewing (VIMINT) to promote physical activity levels among older adults; post-intervention and at two-month follow-up. The participants will receive five sessions of the virtual MI over a five-week period through the Zoom platform and each session will last between 45 to 60 minutes. The intervention will be delivered by trained personnel in MI. The MI strategies will include evoking change and guiding participants in establishing goals for improving physical activity. After the 2-month evaluation, counsellors and participants will be invited for a one-on-one Zoom interview. The aim is to explore the perception of the counsellors and participants about the VIMINT study including, views about virtual MI, benefits, and challenges.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Total number of participants recruited per month	The recruitment rate is the number of participants screened, the number of those who provide written informed consent and the percentage of those who attend the baseline assessment	throughout the study, average of 1 year
Primary	the percentage of participants that remained after the last data is completed at 1 year	Total number of participants that completed the follow-up assessment at 3 months post-baseline divided by the total number of participants that completed the post-intervention assessment at 1 month post-baseline	after completion of data collection at 1 year
Primary	the counsellor's competence will be assessed using Motivational Interviewing Treatment Integrity Code 4.2.1 after completing the motivational interviewing counselling at 1 month post-baseline assessment	The counsellor's competence will be assessed by listening to the audio recorded MI sessions using the global score on the Motivational Interviewing Treatment Integrity Code (MITI 4.2.1.) MITI 4.2.1 consists of four global ratings for the counsellor: cultivating Change talk, Softening Sustain Talk, Partnership, and Empathy. Each of the four global ratings are scored on a five-point Likert scale with "1" and "5" as the lowest and highest proficiency respectively.	at 1 month post baseline
Primary	participant level of satisfaction will be assessed using the Client Satisfaction Questionnaire version 8 at follow-up assessment which is 3 months post baseline	The Client Satisfaction Questionnaire version 8 is an 8-item scale that is scored using a Likert from 1 (quite dissatisfied) to 4 (very satisfied). The score ranges from 8 to 32, with a higher score representing higher satisfaction	3 months post baseline
Secondary	change from baseline of self-reported light, moderate and vigorous using Community Healthy Activities Model Program for Seniors (CHAMPS) questionnaire at 1 month and 3 months	CHAMPS is a 41-item questionnaire. We will administer the CHAMPS questionnaire through the Zoom platform at baseline, 1 month, and 3 months post baseline. The participants will be asked to indicate if they engage in an activity, and if the participants indicate "NO" they will be scored zero. Any activities the participants indicate "YES," we will ask how many times they engage in the activity in a week. Afterward, the participants will be asked to select the total hours/week they engage in the activity from the following six categories: less than 1 hr, 1-2½ hrs, 3-4½ hrs, 5-6½ hrs, 7-8½ hrs, and 9 hrs or more. Each activity on the CHAMPS is assigned a Metabolic equivalent (MET) value as recommended by Stewart et al. (2001). We will compute the total hours/week; a MET value of = 3.0 and = 5.0 will be defined as moderate-vigorous and vigorous intensity physical activity respectively.	baseline, 1 month and 3 months post baseline
Secondary	Change from baseline in the total sporadic minutes per day of the light and moderate-vigorous intensity physical activity and total number of steps per day using activity monitor(GT3X+ model) at 1 months and 3 months	Participants will be asked to wear the activity monitor on an elastic waistband over the right hip for at least 10 waking hours for seven consecutive days. low frequency extension (LFE) option to capture the various physical activity intensities. The light and moderate-vigorous intensity physical activity will be analyzed using the cut point of 100-759 and =760 counts per minute respectively.	baseline, 1 month and 3 months post baseline
Secondary	Change from baseline in the quality of life using The Research ANd Development-36 (RAND-36) at 1 month and 3 months	RAND-36 is a 36-item generic measure of the HRQoL that assesses eight health concepts: physical functioning (10 items), role limitations due to physical health problem (4 items), role limitations due to emotional problems (3 items), social functioning (2 items), emotional well-being (5 items), energy/fatigue (4 items), pain (2 items), and general health perceptions (5 items). RAND-36 also assesses change in perceived health during the last 12 months using a single item. Each item has different response categories (1-6), which are then transformed to various values as recommended by Hays and Morales (2001). The score ranges between 0 and 100 (SD =10) with a higher score indicating better physical or mental health.	baseline, 1month and 3 months post baseline
Secondary	change from baseline in the mean self-efficacy for exercise using 9-item Self-efficacy for exercise questionnaire at 1 month and 3 months	It is a 9-item instrument with responses ranging from 0 (not confident) to 10 (very confident), and a higher score indicating higher self-efficacy for physical activity or exercise. The scoring is calculated by summing up the total score and dividing by the number of items (nine).	baseline, 1month and 3 months post baseline
Secondary	change from baseline in the mean of task self-efficacy physical activity using 10 items from task self-efficacy physical activity questionnaire at 1 month and 3 months post baseline.	the self-efficacy physical activity questionnaire is a 10-item, participants will be asked to rate their level of confidence on a scale 0 (not at all confidence) and 100 (completely confident). The ratings will be summed and averaged to give a score of task self-efficacy physical activity score.	baseline, 1month and 3 months post baseline
Secondary	change from baseline in the readiness of the participant to change behaviour using readiness-to-change ruler at baseline and 1 month post baseline	the readiness-to-change ruler is an arbitrary line on a scale of 0 to 10 where 0 means "Not ready to change," and 10 means "Ready to change''. The readiness-to-change ruler helps to gauge the motivational and ambivalence state of an individual. Typically, the scores are interpreted with 0-3 as "not ready", 4-7 as "ambivalence or not sure" and 8-10 as "ready for change".	baseline and 1 month post baseline
