Abstract

PURPOSE

The purpose of this quality improvement project was to examine the feasibility of rapidly converting a Tai Chi program for older Veterans from face-to-face to virtual classes.

METHODS

Eighteen Veterans attending our face-to-face Tai Chi course were invited to transition to virtual classes. Feasibility was defined as the ability of program staff and participants to successfully connect and complete the initial and subsequent classes by VA Video Connect (VVC) with little to no technical difficulties, participant ability to participate in the course without safety concerns, and favorable feedback from participants and program staff.

RESULTS

Nine of 18 Veterans agreed to transition to the virtual program and attended a median (interquartile range) of 11 (4-15) classes; they were younger (62.7 + 11.5 vs. 70.5 + 7.0 years, p < .05) and more likely to have the knowledge and equipment needed to participate (78% vs. 0%, p < .01) than nonparticipants. Tai Chi instructors and participating Veterans reported being able to connect to and complete the classes virtually with only minimal technical problems. No adverse events were reported. Feedback from the instructors and Veterans was positive and included comments on ease of use and enjoyability.

CONCLUSION

Results suggest that virtual Tai Chi classes via VVC are feasible for some older Veterans.

摘要

目的

本质量改进项目的目的是检验将面向老年退伍军人的太极拳课程从面对面教学迅速转换为虚拟课程的可行性。

方法

邀请18名参加我们面对面太极拳课程的退伍军人过渡到虚拟课程。可行性定义为项目工作人员和参与者能够通过退伍军人事务部视频连接（VVC）成功连接并完成初始课程及后续课程，且技术困难极少或没有；参与者能够在无安全顾虑的情况下参加课程；以及参与者和项目工作人员给予积极反馈。

结果

18名退伍军人中有9人同意过渡到虚拟课程，参加课程的中位数（四分位间距）为11节（4 - 15节）；与未参与者相比，他们更年轻（62.7 ± 11.5岁对70.5 ± 7.0岁，p <.05），且更有可能具备参与所需的知识和设备（78%对0%，p <.01）。太极拳教练和参与的退伍军人报告称，能够几乎没有技术问题地通过虚拟方式连接并完成课程。未报告不良事件。教练和退伍军人的反馈是积极的，包括对易用性和趣味性的评价。
