Abstract
:
Objectives: In order to promote elderly people's behavioural compliance toward influenza prevention, the aim of the current project is to develop, implement, and evaluate a theory-based low-administration-cost intervention building on a leading psychological theory, the Health Action Process Approach (HAPA). Design and subjects: The target group is Hong Kong Chinese elderly people aged 65 or older who rarely or never adopt any preventive actions. This project will be conducted in three phases over 24 months. In phase 1, intervention program based on the HAPA theory which comprises both the initiation and maintenance of influenza prevention behaviours will be developed. In phase 2, intervention will be implemented and evaluated using a randomised controlled trial, including: (a) behaviour initiation only, (b) behaviour initiation + behaviour maintenance, and (c) control group. Both the initiation and maintenance components will comprise a one-off group-based education session and a weekly-delivered telephone-based individual booster sessions in three months. In phase 3, outcome evaluation of behavioural and psychological variables and process evaluation will be conducted. Data analysis and expected results: The effectiveness of the intervention will be analyzed using a series of linear mixed models on each behavioural and psychological outcome variable. Mediated hierarchical multiple regression analyses for multiple mediators will also be conducted. The proposed project is expected to design theory-based intervention materials to promote the influenza prevention behaviours in Hong Kong elderly people and provide information on its effectiveness and the potential changing mechanism of behaviour initiation and maintenance.
