Brief Summary

Frailty is a condition of reduced the capacity in multiple body systems and causing adverse outcomes because of decreasing the ability to cope with stressors. Female sex, the changes of the body imposed by ageing, and coping strategies for stressors are causal mechanisms in the development of frailty. This project is designed with the salutogenic model that is focused on the concepts of health, stress, and coping. The aim of this project is to assess the effect of Salutogenic Frailty Prevention Program on promoting sense of coherence and preventing the development of frailty in women aged 55 years and over

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Change in Sense of Coherence

    Sense of coherence assesses an individual's orientation and internal strengths. It consists of 13 items rated on a 7-point Likert scale, and has three components including comprehensibility (5-item), manageability (4-item) and meaningfulness (4-item)

    Baseline, 3 months, 6 months, 9 months

  • Change in FRAIL scale

    The FRAIL scale consists of 5 items (fatigue, resistance, ambulation, illnesses, loss of weight). Frail scale scores range from 0-5 and represent frailty status as frail (3-5), pre-frail (1-2), and robust (0).

    Baseline, 3 months, 6 months, 9 months

Secondary Outcomes (6)

  • Change in The World Health Organisation- Five Well-Being Index (WHO-5)

    Baseline, 3 months, 6 months, 9 months

  • Change in health-related quality of life

    Baseline, 3 months, 6 months, 9 months

  • Change in EQ-VAS

    Baseline, 3 months, 6 months, 9 months

  • Change in number of falls

    Baseline, 3 months, 6 months, 9 months

  • Change in fear of fall

    Baseline, 3 months, 6 months, 9 months

  • +1 more secondary outcomes

Study Arms (2)

Intervention

EXPERIMENTAL

Experimental: SAFRAPP Intervention Participants in this group will receive a 6-week SAFRAPP intervention, comprising of laughter yoga, health education and case management. SAFRAPP will be conducted on social media (Facebook and WhatsApp).

Behavioral: Salutogenic Frailty Prevention Program

Control Grup

NO INTERVENTION

The control group will not receive any intervention during the study. Participants in the control group will take the same program after the study is completed.

Interventions

Laughter yoga: The first component of intervention is the laughter yoga that is a combination of warm up exercise, deep breathing exercises, childlike playfulness and laughter exercises. Each session of laughter yoga will be offered twice a weekly and 40 minutes each time. Health education: The second component of intervention consisted of six health issues which are "health, frailty and generalized sources of resistance for frailty", the most common medical condition and medication use", "physical activity", "healthy diet", "falls prevention" and "cognitive and psychosocial well-being". Case management: The third component of intervention is activities that determine each participant's health needs with the Omaha System and support them for the use of appropriate resources.
