abstract: 'Objectives: To explore the health effects of a community health
|
|
|
|
intervention on older people who are isolated at home due to mobility
|
|
|
|
problems or architectural barriers, to identify associated
|
|
|
|
characteristics and to assess participants'' satisfaction.
|
|
|
|
Design: Quasi-experimental before-after study.
|
|
|
|
Setting: Five low-income neighbourhoods of Barcelona during 2010-15.
|
|
|
|
Participants: 147 participants, aged >= 59, living in isolation due to
|
|
|
|
mobility problems or architectural barriers were interviewed before the
|
|
|
|
intervention and after 6 months.
|
|
|
|
Intervention: Primary Health Care teams, public health and social
|
|
|
|
workers, and other community agents carried out a community health
|
|
|
|
intervention, consisting of weekly outings, facilitated by volunteers.
|
|
|
|
Measurements: We assessed self-rated health, mental health using the
|
|
|
|
General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-12), and quality of life through the
|
|
|
|
EuroQol scale. Satisfaction with the programme was evaluated using a set
|
|
|
|
of questions. We analysed pre and post data with McNemar tests and
|
|
|
|
fitted lineal and Poisson regression models.
|
|
|
|
Results: At 6 months, participants showed improvements in self-rated
|
|
|
|
health and mental health and a reduction of anxiety. Improvements were
|
|
|
|
greater among women, those who had not left home for >= 4 months, those
|
|
|
|
with lower educational level, and those who had made >= 9 outings.
|
|
|
|
Self-rated health {[}aRR: 1.29(1.04-1.62)] and mental health
|
|
|
|
improvements {[}beta: 2.92(1.64-4.2)] remained significant in the
|
|
|
|
multivariate models. Mean satisfaction was 9.3 out of 10.
|
|
|
|
Conclusion: This community health intervention appears to improve
|
|
|
|
several health outcomes in isolated elderly people, especially among the
|
|
|
|
most vulnerable groups. Replications of this type of intervention could
|
|
|
|
work in similar contexts. (c) 2021 The Authors. Published by Elsevier
