Summary

Physically frail older adults often have chronic conditions that contribute to a higher chance of them being limited in daily activities and becoming dependent. Physical activity can help to better manage chronic conditions and prevent frailty. In this project, the counselling approach using the new Canadian 24-hour Movement Guidelines will be adapted for older adults at an early state of frailty. This new approach will be tested against the one in current use by physiotherapists. This ethics application will address the pilot implementation evaluation, including interviews and focus groups, conducted to refine the new approach.

BEHAVIORAL

24-hour Activity Counselling

Physiotherapists will participate in the self-paced brief action planning (BAP) online training (2-4 hours long), followed by 2-3 hours of practice and feedback over the phone with an experienced BAP instructor. In addition, they will attend a 2-hour session with the research team on training around on prescribing physical activity while balancing with rest and sleep. Once training is complete the PT can start implementing the counselling approach with the older adult patients.
