Summary

The primary purpose of this project was to implement Vitalize 360, a comprehensive assessment system and wellness coaching program for vulnerable, low income, community dwelling older adults, and to determine if this program is effective in promoting and sustaining self-management skills to increase well-being and functional health among this group. Designed specifically for community-dwelling older adults, Vitalize 360 provides a unique opportunity to guide elders in selecting personal goals that align with their assessment results and develop an action plan for goal achievement. This strategy holds potential as an effective mechanism to empower elders to implement behaviors that promote healthy aging.

Detailed description

The purpose of this project was to determine if Vitalize 360, a comprehensive assessment system and wellness coaching program was effective in promoting and sustaining increased physical activity and improved mood, health status and quality of life. A repeated measures, secondary analysis design was the selected approach Data from 161 participants were used to test the hypotheses. After one year, the sample had improvement with increased socialization while physical activity level fluctuated over time suggestive of a seasonality effect. Paired t-tests and repeated measures analysis revealed no statistically significant improvement in physical activity level, mood, health status or quality of life. Vitalize 360 provides a unique opportunity to guide elders in selecting personal goals that align with their assessment results and develop an action plan for goal achievement. When used among vulnerable and frail elders, some modifications are needed to provide sustained, favorable outcomes.
