Summary

Global organizations advocate for "active" and "healthy aging," emphasizing preventive health promotion. Taiwan's Long-Term Care 2.0 and the National Health Administration's "Healthy Exercise Class" exemplify this. Evaluating these programs' effectiveness is crucial, but complex due to diverse influencing factors. This study focuses on the often-overlooked role of program leaders' facilitation skills in impacting program success.

This study investigates the effectiveness of multi-domain community health promotion programs for older adults and its influencing factors. Specifically, it aims to:

1. assess the immediate benefits (objective/subjective health status, satisfaction) for participating older adults.
2. explore related factors (group leadership skills, personal factors) using Andersen's Behavioral Model.

A prospective, single-group, pre- and post-test design will be used. Participants (leaders and older adults) will be recruited from "Healthy Exercise Class" sites nationwide. Pre- and post-intervention data will be analyzed to determine program effectiveness. Multiple linear regression will identify influencing factors, including the mediating and moderating effects of leader facilitation skill confidence. The study aims to inform policy improvements for government-led older adult health promotion.

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Move for Health

This multi-domain health promotion intervention utilizes the "Community-Based Health Promotion Program for Older Adults - Healthy Exercise Class" developed by the Health Promotion Administration (Taiwan). This intervention emphasizes a "multi-dimensional health" approach, focusing on healthy aging, exercise, and cognitive interventions, supplemented by elements of oral health, nutrition, and social participation. The program aims to promote older adults' health self-management capabilities. This 12-week program meets once weekly for two hours per session. Healthy aging curriculum covers important health issues for older adults, such as fall prevention, healthy eating, oral health, vision care, dementia prevention, medication safety, and knowledge related to healthy lifestyle behaviors including home-based exercise.
