This article describes the development, implementation and results of a health and wellness initiative at an ICCD Clubhouse in North Carolina.
This pilot study used a collaborative and consultative focus group process to identify sustainable health and wellness programming components, and then used networking to develop community resources in order to implement and sustain these components at the Clubhouse. The series of focus group questions was based on Glasser's (1998) choice theory; focus groups included members and staff, and had the support of Clubhouse administration. Once focus groups identified specific health and wellness categories of interest to members, program developers located and initiated links with potential presenters, volunteers, and/or local resources. Approximately one year after the final focus group, followup health and wellness surveys were administered to members and staff at a Clubhouse community meeting to assess perceptions of health and wellness at the Clubhouse after all planned components had been implemented.
Using a choice theory approach to health and wellness programming development in this ICCD Clubhouse venue involved members and staff collaboratively in identifying health and wellness components for the Clubhouse that have been implemented and sustained for over thirteen months.
Choice theory-based focus group outcomes are currently being assessed for another three Clubhouse health and wellness initiatives. This approach to health and wellness program development may also be effective in other programs that provide services with and/or for this population.
本文描述了北卡罗来纳州一家国际康复理事会会所开展、实施和取得成果的一项健康和养生倡议。
本试点研究采用协作和咨询焦点小组流程，确定可持续的健康和养生方案组成部分，然后利用网络开发社区资源，以便在会所实施和维持这些组成部分。这一系列焦点小组问题以格朗（1998 年）的选择理论为基础；焦点小组包括成员和工作人员，并得到会所管理部门的支持。一旦焦点小组确定了成员感兴趣的具体健康和养生类别，方案开发者就会寻找并与潜在的演讲者、志愿者和/或当地资源建立联系。在最后一次焦点小组结束大约一年后，在会所社区会议上向成员和工作人员进行了后续健康和养生调查，以评估在实施所有计划组成部分后会所的健康和养生状况。
在这个国际康复理事会会所场所，使用选择理论方法进行健康和养生方案开发，让成员和工作人员共同参与确定了会所的健康和养生组成部分，这些组成部分已经实施并维持了十三个月以上。
目前正在对另外三个会所健康和养生倡议的基于选择理论的焦点小组结果进行评估。这种健康和养生方案开发方法也可能对为这一人群提供服务的其他方案有效。
