AFEP Evidence Example
Hinchman, 2001
178 Participants
Less health care utilization (ER visits), Improved overall health
AFEP Evidence Example
Arthritis Foundation, NY Chapter, 2001
551 Participants; pre-post testing, control group
Results indicted:• Reduced depression, pain, stiffness• Improved self-efficacy and functioning• Improved education on self-mgt
AFEP Evidence Example
• 347 participants (Schoster, Callahan, Meier, Mielenz, & DiMartino. (2005). Results indicated
AFEP program provided social support for participants and increased self-efficacy
Improved arthritis self management
AFEP Evidence Example
• 174 participants; RCT, pre-post test design study; 8 week, 16 week, & 6 month follow up (Minor, 2007)
Reduced pain; improved endurance
Improved self care behavior
AFEP Evidence Example
• 346 participants with arthritis, RCT, 8 week follow up and six month follow up (Callahan, et al., 2008)
Less pain
Improved self-mgt, arthritis
Less stiffnessBetter endurance
Improved strength
AFEP CMS Review
• Participants in this program had estimated total healthcare savings of over $750.
• Savings in inpatient unplanned stays ~$670
• Savings in SNF stay ~$200
• Less unplanned hospitalizations; more MD visits
CMS, 2013
Group Activity
Talk with one or two people near you and answer the following question. Please be ready to share your answers afterwards.
• Group Activity: What are some strategies to make it feasible to offer evidence-based health promotion classes in your community?
• What role(s), if any would you like to take in this process?
Tai Chi for Arthritis

Chronic Disease Self-Management Program (CDSMP)
• Enable to build self-confidence to take part in maintaining their health and managing chronic conditions
• Hypertension• Arthritis• Heart disease• Stroke• Lung disease• Diabetes
Program
• 6 weeks• 2.5 hours per week• Program provides information and teaches practical
skills on managing chronic health problems• 2 trained leaders
Assessments
• STEADI – Stop Elderly Accidents, Death & Injury• Timed Up and Go• 30 Second Chair Rise• 4 – Stage Balance Test
STEADI
• 12 item self assessment• Printed by CDC• Environmental checklist• Safety tips
Timed Up And Go (TUG)
• Easy, reliable, and valid indicator of functional mobility and falls risk
• Predictive or morbidity, mortality, functional status (Studenski, 2011)
Timed Up And Go
• Rise from a standard height chair– May use arms– May use assistive device
• Walk 3 meters (@10’)• Cross a visible line or around a visible pylon• Turn 180• Walk to chair• Turn & sit down
What it Tells Us
• Does the person have difficulty performing the task?• Is the person slow?
– 7-9 sec: low risk, typically a fit & active older adult– 10-12 sec: moderate risk, an ‘average’ older adult– ≥ 13.5 sec: high risk for future falls
– (Bohannon, 2005)
What it Tells Us
• Best reliability and validity with independently mobile, healthy older adults
• Poor reliability in hospital settings• Timing task can provide baseline measure of performance• KEY – Does the person have difficulty performing????
30 Second Chair Rise
• Indicator of strength and endurance• Poor performance associated with increased falls risk
30 Second Chair Rise
• Sit in middle of chair• Cross arms, hands on shoulders• Feet flat on floor• On go, rise to full standing and sit• Repeat for 30 seconds
30 Second Chair Rise
• Begin timing on go• Count number of times the patient comes to full standing in
30 seconds• Record number of repetitions
