This Quality Improvement project evaluated the implementation of a virtual Tai Chi program for older Veterans (OVs) at risk of loneliness and/or physical deconditioning. A 12-week Tai Chi course was conducted virtually at three Veterans Affairs sites using VA Video Connect (VVC). Changes in physical function based on the 30-Second Chair Stand (30CST) and loneliness based on the De Jong Gierveld Loneliness Scale (DJGS) were measured, as were the OVs' satisfaction and adherence. Of 109 OVs who enrolled, 74 completed the program with a mean attendance rate of 84%. Completers demonstrated a statistically significant improvement in the 30CST, and those who were moderately or severely lonely at baseline saw a statistically significant improvement in the DJGS. Course evaluations were generally very positive. Results suggest that a virtual Tai Chi program is an effective and very satisfying intervention for OVs at risk of loneliness or physical deconditioning.
这个质量改进项目评估了为有孤独和/或身体机能衰退风险的老年退伍军人（OVs）实施的虚拟太极项目。在三个退伍军人事务站点通过退伍军人事务部视频连接（VVC）以虚拟方式开展了为期12周的太极课程。测量了基于30秒坐立试验（30CST）的身体功能变化以及基于德容·吉尔维尔德孤独量表（DJGS）的孤独感变化，同时也测量了老年退伍军人的满意度和参与度。在报名的109名老年退伍军人中，74人完成了该项目，平均出勤率为84%。完成项目者在30CST上有统计学上的显著改善，而那些在基线时中度或重度孤独的人在DJGS上有统计学上的显著改善。课程评估总体上非常积极。结果表明，虚拟太极项目对于有孤独或身体机能衰退风险的老年退伍军人是一种有效且非常令人满意的干预措施。
