Increasing physical activity levels in care homes for older people: a quantitative scoping review of intervention studies to guide future research.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

Physical activity (PA) levels in older care home residents are low. This has detrimental effects on health. Little is known about the nature of interventions to increase physical activity in this population.

Methods

A scoping review to: (1) identify and describe interventions to increase PA in older care home residents, and (2) describe the extent to which interventions address care home context, systemised by social-ecological models. We systematically searched databases for peer-reviewed intervention studies to increase PA in older people resident in care homes. Data were extracted using the template for intervention description and replication (TIDieR) and mapped against a social-ecological framework to locate the intervention focus.
