Abstract

A nested process evaluation, within a randomised controlled trial, will explore relationships between program outcomes and quality of intervention implementation of the Lifestyle-Integrated Functional Exercise Program in older people with vision impairment. The Lifestyle-Integrated Functional Exercise Program is a home-based strength and balance program that has been shown to reduce falls in high risk populations. A pilot study showed positive trends in improvements in physical function in older people with vision impairment after participation in the program. The program will be delivered by Orientation and Mobility Specialists, who are experienced in working with people with vision impairment. The process evaluation has a mixed methods design. This includes quantitative (fidelity checklist score, number of completed sessions, survey data and a habit formation scale), as well as qualitative (open responses from program staff and semi-structured interviews with study participants) data. Process evaluation measures include program adherence (fidelity), complete delivery (dose delivered), participant receipt (dose received) and participant enactment. Using the Behaviour Change Wheel, a logic model was built to explain the intended inputs, outputs, outcomes and relationships to the behaviour change techniques in the Lifestyle-Integrated Functional Exercise Program in older people with vision impairment. The findings of the process evaluation will inform the provision of fall prevention programs in older people with vision impairment by Orientation and Mobility Specialists. To date, there are no proven falls prevention programs which aim to improve physical function and reduce falls in older people with vision impairment. This process evaluation will contribute new knowledge about the implementation of a strength and balance program in this population. ACTRN12616001186448 . Registered 29 August 2016.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 7. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 07 February 2020.
All research outputs
#4,771,389
of 23,314,015 outputs
Outputs from BMC Health Services Research
#2,281
of 7,804 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#90,626
of 328,525 outputs
Outputs of similar age from BMC Health Services Research
#103
of 219 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,314,015 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 79th percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 7,804 research outputs from this source. They typically receive more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 7.9. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 70% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 328,525 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 72% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 219 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 53% of its contemporaries.
