Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite strong evidence that arthritis symptoms and disability can be reduced through physical activity, less than one quarter of U.S. adults with arthritis meet recommended physical activity guidelines. Research supports the use of self-efficacy enhancing strategies in interventions to improve symptoms and increase physical activity in older adults with arthritis. The aim of this study was to re-evaluate an intervention program called Choosing Arthritis Appropriate Physical Activity (CASAPA) from post-intervention to 1-month follow-up, to determine if improvements seen at post-intervention were maintained, and to examine the predictive ability of physical activity self-efficacy subtypes and intention for predicting physical activity. CASAPA was 4-week, psycho-behavioral, educational intervention designed to increase knowledge, skills, and confidence in selecting arthritis appropriate physical activity, delivered to an ethnically diverse, low-SES sample of older adults (n = 143, M age = 66.93), recruited from non-residential community senior centers in San Diego County. Participants completed written questionnaires at baseline, postintervention, and 1-month follow-up to measure self-efficacy for arthritis related exercise, for overcoming barriers to exercise, and for choosing appropriate physical activity. McNemar's test was used to determine if improvements in self-efficacy measures seen at postintervention in the intervention group were maintained at 1-month follow-up. Linear regression was used to test the predictive ability of the self-efficacy subtypes and intention for physical activity. Results show no significant change in self-efficacy levels for the intervention or control group, suggesting that the intervention group maintained their improved self-efficacy, and remained higher than controls at 1-month follow-up. Results also show that neither the self-efficacy subtypes nor intention at post-intervention were significant predictors of physical activity at follow-up. Findings support evidence that arthritis related self-efficacy subtypes can be increased and maintained for some time following an intervention, but that further research is needed to understand the roles of these self-efficacy subtypes and physical activity intention on physical activity in older adults with arthritis.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study explored the potential correlates of exercise self-efficacy among older adults with a self-reported diagnosis of arthritis. Methods: This study was a secondary data analysis and used a cross-sectional design. Data was collected from a convenience sample of Non-Hispanic White and Non-Hispanic Black individuals between 2006-2008 (N=208). Descriptive statistics were run to assess means and frequencies within the sample. Bivariate statistics (Pearson and Spearman correlations, T-tests and one-way analysis of variance) were run to examine relationships between the independent and dependent variables. Multiple linear regression analyses were conducted to examine independent predictors of self-efficacy for exercise (SEE) and barriers self-efficacy for exercise (BSE). Results: Participants were predominantly female (85.6%), white (62.9%), retired (58.1%) and had a mean age of 66.6 [10.7] years. For education level, 23.4% reported a Master’s degree or higher and 18.6% reported they had at most a high school degree or GED. Nearly 47% of the sample were classified as obese based on self-reported body mass index (BMI) and 68.3% of the sample were not meeting the American College of Sports Medicine physical activity (PA) recommendations. Participants reported a relatively high BSE (22.6) and an average SEE (22.7). Significant positive associations were seen with outcome expectation for exercise (EOE), social support, and total minutes of PA and negative associations with BMI, physical function, pain, and negative affect with SEE and BSE. Meeting the PA guidelines (t134.5=4.60, 95%CI= 4.7(6.71-2.68), p

This book was released on 2015 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: PURPOSE: Although moderate physical activity decreases the risk of arthritis related disability by 47%, pain and lack of confidence are often cited barriers to physical activity participation among older adults with knee osteoarthritis (OA). The purpose of this study was to examine changes in self-efficacy over the course of the Intensive Diet and Exercise (IDEA) trial in obese older adults with knee OA. METHODS: IDEA was a single-blind, randomized controlled trial with 454 obese older adults (M age=65.6 years) with radiographic evidence of knee OA. Participants were randomized to one of three interventions: exercise-only (E-only); intensive dietary weight loss-only (D-only); or intensive dietary weight loss-plus-exercise (D+E). Self-efficacy for walking ability, balance, walking duration and exercise adherence were assessed at baseline, 6 and 18 months. Baseline associations were tested using Pearson correlations, and group least squares means were compared using mixed linear models at 6 and 18 months, adjusted for multiple comparisons. RESULTS: At baseline, participants with higher self-efficacy reported significantly better function and less pain, walked farther on the six-minute walk, and were more physically active (all | r | > 0.12, all p

This book was released on 2016-11-08 with total page 367 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Family caregiving affects millions of Americans every day, in all walks of life. At least 17.7 million individuals in the United States are caregivers of an older adult with a health or functional limitation. The nation's family caregivers provide the lion's share of long-term care for our older adult population. They are also central to older adults' access to and receipt of health care and community-based social services. Yet the need to recognize and support caregivers is among the least appreciated challenges facing the aging U.S. population. Families Caring for an Aging America examines the prevalence and nature of family caregiving of older adults and the available evidence on the effectiveness of programs, supports, and other interventions designed to support family caregivers. This report also assesses and recommends policies to address the needs of family caregivers and to minimize the barriers that they encounter in trying to meet the needs of older adults.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Arthritis is an inflammatory disease affecting the joints and surrounding tissues. As the disease develops it can cause severe pain and disability. The two most common types of arthritis are osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. Osteoarthritis (OA) is a painful, degenerative joint disease that often involves the hips, knees, neck, lower back, or the small joints of the hands. Treatment usually includes analgesics, topical creams, or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications (known as NSAIDs); appropriate exercises or physical therapy; joint splinting; or joint replacement surgery for seriously damaged larger joints, such as the knee or hip. Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune inflammatory disease that usually involves the hands, wrists, elbows, shoulders, knees, feet, or ankles. Focus on Arthritis Research brings together leading research in the field.

Download or read book Exercise and Diabetes written by Sheri R. Colberg and published by American Diabetes Association. This book was released on 2013-05-30 with total page 554 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Physical movement has a positive effect on physical fitness, morbidity, and mortality in individuals with diabetes. Although exercise has long been considered a cornerstone of diabetes management, many health care providers fail to prescribe it. In addition, many fitness professionals may be unaware of the complexities of including physical activity in the management of diabetes. Giving patients or clients a full exercise prescription that take other chronic conditions commonly accompanying diabetes into account may be too time-consuming for or beyond the expertise of many health care and fitness professionals. The purpose of this book is to cover the recommended types and quantities of physical activities that can and should be undertaken by all individuals with any type of diabetes, along with precautions related to medication use and diabetes-related health complications. Medications used to control diabetes should augment lifestyle improvements like increased daily physical activity rather than replace them. Up until now, professional books with exercise information and prescriptions were not timely or interactive enough to easily provide busy professionals with access to the latest recommendations for each unique patient. However, simply instructing patients to “exercise more” is frequently not motivating or informative enough to get them regularly or safely active. This book is changing all that with its up-to-date and easy-to-prescribe exercise and physical activity recommendations and relevant case studies. Read and learn to quickly prescribe effective and appropriate exercise to everyone.

Book excerpt: The role of public health in the planning, coordination, and delivery of health promotion and disease prevention services to older people living outside of institutional settings. Selected by Choice Magazine as an Outstanding Academic Title Current issues in the public health arena have challenged the system to broaden its traditional focus on infectious disease to include chronic disease as well. As this change in emphasis takes place, professionals must be prepared to address the special chronic health concerns of older people living in the community. This textbook meets the training needs of those professionals. Public Health and Aging examines the role of public health in the planning, coordination, and delivery of health promotion and disease prevention services to older people living outside of institutional settings. Here, experts in the areas of health care policy and care of aged persons analyze the scientific basis for the practice of public health in an increasingly aging society. Reviewing a wide range of the social, cultural, financial, and environmental factors that influence the health experiences of older population groups, the authors delve into the epidemiology of age-related chronic illnesses, program development, methodological issues, data collection and analysis, strategies for intervention, and ethics. From outlines for community-based program planning and development to discussions about the future challenges for health care systems and services, this book is an ideal reference for gerontology, public policy, and public health professionals and professionals in training.
