Frailty prevention is one of social prescriptions for an aging society. That requires community level intervention.
This study examined frailty checkup supporters' (FCSs') intentions to engage in human-resource development and training activities (i.e., leadership activities) and related factors.
Cross-sectional study.
Three municipalities in suburban area, Eastern Japan.
Forty-five of 59 FCSs completed anonymous self-administered questionnaires.
Questionnaire sought information regarding their sociodemographic data, their perceptions and experiences of FCS activities, and their intentions to participate in human-resource development and training activities. Participants were divided into a high intention (HI) and low intention group (LI). The two groups were compared using quantitative and qualitative data.
Eleven FCSs reported intending to engage in leader-related activities. Factors associated with FCSs' intentions were finding FCS activities rewarding and the willingness to continue performing FCS activities. The participants who changed their daily activities (p = .041) and perceptions regarding contributing to the community (p = .018) showed significantly higher intention than LI participants. Free description about the changes in perceptions and lifestyles as a consequence of participating in FCS activities were analyzed qualitatively. FCSs who changed their daily activities and perspectives about contributing to the community described positive changes in both the groups. Meanwhile, FCSs who did not change their daily activities and perspectives about contributing to the community described their reason only in the LI group.
The results might encourage FCSs to participate in training and guidance activities, as they have positive experiences and receive recognition obtained through participation in such activities.
预防衰弱是老龄化社会的社会处方之一。这需要社区层面的干预。
本研究调查了衰弱检查支持者（FCS）参与人力资源开发和培训活动（即领导活动）的意愿及相关因素。
横断面研究。
日本东部郊区的三个自治市。
59名FCS中的45名完成了匿名自填问卷。
问卷寻求有关他们的社会人口统计学数据、对FCS活动的看法和经历，以及他们参与人力资源开发和培训活动的意愿的信息。参与者被分为高意愿组（HI）和低意愿组（LI）。使用定量和定性数据对两组进行比较。
11名FCS报告有意参与与领导相关的活动。与FCS意愿相关的因素是认为FCS活动有意义以及愿意继续开展FCS活动。改变日常活动（p = 0.041）和对社区贡献看法（p = 0.018）的参与者比LI参与者的意愿明显更高。对参与FCS活动后观念和生活方式变化的自由描述进行了定性分析。改变日常活动和对社区贡献看法的FCS在两组中都描述了积极的变化。同时，未改变日常活动和对社区贡献看法的FCS仅在LI组中说明了原因。
这些结果可能会鼓励FCS参与培训和指导活动，因为他们有积极的经历，并通过参与此类活动获得认可。
