This study tested the feasibility of integrating a virtually facilitated exercise intervention into routine RPM program for older adults to establish its acceptability and patients' satisfaction.
We performed a retrospective analysis of data curated from a population-based virtual exercise intervention for older adults receiving RPM in Ontario, Canada.
A total of 16 patients participated in at least 1 exercise class, 64% were females, with mean (SD) age of 76 (±10) years. Overall, 100% of participants were "very satisfied" with the program, 81.3% (13) agreed/strongly agreed that the program "motivated them to move," while 100% (16) agreed/strongly agreed that participating in the intervention has improved their physical endurance. Attendance to the virtual classes were relatively good with patients attending more than 60% of scheduled classes per session. Comorbidity had a strong effect on attendance, with the presence of each additional chronic condition associated with a 15.8% decline in attendance rate ( = .005) over timeConclusion:Integrating a virtually facilitated exercise program into routine RPM program for older adults is feasible, acceptable, as well as safe. Larger studies are required to establish efficacy of the intervention in improve health outcomes.
本研究测试了将虚拟辅助运动干预纳入老年人常规远程患者监测（RPM）项目的可行性，以确定其可接受性和患者满意度。
我们对加拿大安大略省接受RPM的老年人基于人群的虚拟运动干预所整理的数据进行了回顾性分析。
共有16名患者参加了至少1节运动课程，64%为女性，平均（标准差）年龄为76（±10）岁。总体而言，100%的参与者对该项目“非常满意”，81.3%（13人）同意/强烈同意该项目“激励他们运动”，而100%（16人）同意/强烈同意参与干预提高了他们的身体耐力。虚拟课程的出勤率相对较好，患者每次参加超过60%的预定课程。合并症对出勤率有很大影响，随着时间的推移，每增加一种慢性病，出勤率下降15.8%（P = 0.005）。
将虚拟辅助运动项目纳入老年人常规RPM项目是可行的、可接受的且安全的。需要更大规模的研究来确定该干预措施在改善健康结果方面的疗效。
