In patients of age group 18 to 25 (P) who receive education regarding the importance of exercising 300 minutes per week (I) compared to a similar group who does not receive the education (C) will increase their present level of activity by 30%.(O) by the end of a 6 month study (T).
Monitored Variables
Two variables need to be measured to determine the success of the intervention. First, it is necessary to establish the delivery of the intervention by measuring the number of sessions comprising the educational program and the retention rate of the audience. This variable will help the research team in detection of inconsistencies in the intervention and assist in development of similar programs in the future. It will also be necessary to measure the rate of comprehension demonstrated by the participants, which can be done by organizing discussions and assessing their activity. Second, the physical activity of the patients before and after intervention must be evaluated. This will be accomplished through reports submitted by the participants and will allow quantifying the percentage of change after the intervention.
Impact on Healthcare Quality
The first area of improvement is associated with direct benefits of physical exercise on health. It is expected that a 30% increase will lead to a clinically significant improvement in perceived healthcare quality. By extension, it is also possible to expect improvements related to greater patient involvement in healthcare process. The predicted increase in the level of activity will eventually result in an overall adherence both to healthy lifestyle and to recommendations and guidelines from healthcare providers. Next, the increase in physical activity will decrease the likelihood of developing several health conditions (Reiner, Niermann, Jekauc, & Woll, 2013). Finally, since the educational sessions are associated with fewer expenses than treatment, it is reasonable to expect an optimized allocation of resources associated with the intervention in the long term.
Feedback from Stakeholders
As can be seen, the success of the intervention depends largely on the engagement of the participants. Therefore, it would be necessary to collect feedback from the patients in order to determine their perception of the programs effectiveness and thus estimate the efficiency of the intervention. The feedback can also be used to introduce timely adjustments in the process and gain insights on the shortcomings of the project.
