Dyadic concordance and other considerations for matching pairs for peer support diabetes prevention interventions: A mixed methods assessment

ObjectivesDyadic peer support helps patients make health behavior changes for improved outcomes, yet the impact of matching dyads on demographic characteristics such as race or gender is unknown. Therefore, we investigated associations of concordant characteristics with peer outcomes in a diabetes prevention intervention and qualitatively examined participant perspectives on matching. MethodsBinary variables for peer-supporter concordance on 6 demographic characteristics were created for 177 peers and 69 supporters. Regression models compared changes in weight, HbA1c, perceived social support, patient activation, and formal diabetes prevention/education program participation for concordant and non-concordant dyads. Semi-structured qualitative interviews were conducted with 39 peers and 34 supporters. ResultsConcordance on demographic characteristics was not significantly associated with outcomes. Qualitatively, peers and supporters emphasized that more important than shared demographic characteristics was a supporter's empathic, non-judgmental communication style. ConclusionsDemographic characteristics for matching supporters with adults with prediabetes are less important than ensuring high-quality coach training in goal setting and communication style, supporting prior research on the necessity of autonomy supportive communication for effective behavioral change interventions. Practice implicationsExisting peer support programs should incorporate fidelity assessments into practice to ensure peer supporter skill in motivational interviewing-based, autonomy supportive communication and brief goal setting.

PENERAPAN GOAL SETTING UNTUK MENINGKATKAN KEPERCAYAAN DIRI SISWA : PENDEKATAN EKSPERIMEN NON RANDOMIZED CONTROL TRIAL

Confidence is the main key for students to be able to find themselves when they are in the school environment and in a social environment, with self-confidence students are also able to develop their talents, interests and potential. Students who have low self-confidence will cause problems in themselves. One of the factors to increase student self-confidence is by being given goal setting training. This study aims to determine the effect of goal setting training to increase self-confidence in students. In this study students will be given treatment in the form of goal setting training given to the experimental group. The subjects to be studied were students of Yapalis Krian Vocational School, totaling 41 students for the experimental group and 41 students for the control group.

Subgroup specific relations between the goal-striving reasons framework and subjective well-being

People’s reasons for goal pursuit strongly relate to well-being. An important concept that captures differences in the reasons for goal pursuit is the goal-striving reasons framework. Until today, it remains unclear whether the goal-striving reasons framework relates differently to the well-being of particular groups of people. Using the positive-activity model as a guiding framework, the paper at hand analyses a number of person-related characteristics which are relevant in a goal-setting context and are assumed to change the relationship between goal-striving reasons and well-being. Employing a large cumulative data set the person-related characteristics comprise of demographic variables (age, gender, managerial status) and selected well-being related variables (assertiveness, burnout, engagement, goal progress). Using correlation analyses in conjunction with Fisher’s z-test the results show that contrary to older employees (aged 24 or older) the goal-striving reasons of younger people are not related to their well-being. Women’s self-esteem reasons are more strongly related to well-being than they are for men. People’s goal-striving reasons are more strongly associated with well-being for people with high levels of assertiveness, low levels of burnout, or high levels of engagement. The findings have implications for the delivery of the Happiness through Goal Setting Training, a Positive Psychology Intervention based on the goal-striving reasons framework, as it identifies various alterations of the training to cater for the needs of these subgroups.

Evaluation of the Happiness Through Goal-Setting Training.

This paper describes the evaluation of the Happiness through Goal-Setting Training, a multiple intervention approach which helps participants to reflect on, and modify their reasons for goal pursuit. The training is theoretically grounded in the goal-striving reasons framework. This framework captures four important reasons for goal pursuit and has received a substantial amount of empirical support for its predictive power in relation to positive psychological functioning. The four goal-striving reasons are the pursuit of goals out of pleasure, altruism, fear of self-esteem loss or necessity. The evaluation of the training, employing a before-and-after study design, is based on two data sets comprising data from a face-to-face delivery of the training (N = 41) and an online delivery of the training (N = 40). Overall, the findings from both studies, using paired sample t-tests, show that the Happiness through Goal-Setting Training significantly improves the quality of people's reasons for goal pursuit as well as their positive psychological functioning measured through life satisfaction, positive affect, negative affect and work-engagement. Thus, the Happiness through Goal-Setting Training complements the existing suite of well-being interventions by providing a happiness training that focusses specifically on improving people's reasons for goal-pursuit.

Feasibility and preliminary efficacy of the LEAD trial: a cluster randomized controlled lifestyle intervention to improve hippocampal volume in older adults at-risk for dementia

BackgroundHealthy diet and exercise are associated with reduced risk of dementia in older adults. The impact of diet and exercise interventions on brain health is less consistent, especially with dietary interventions which rely on varying approaches. Our objective was to evaluate the feasibility and preliminary efficacy of a 6-month intervention combining exercise with a novel dietary counseling approach to improve hippocampal volume among older adults at-risk for dementia.MethodsParticipants with vascular risk factors and subjective cognitive decline or early mild cognitive impairment were cluster randomized in groups of 3–4 to the diet intervention (DIET) or control education (ED) group. All participants engaged in 1 h of supervised exercise per week and additional exercise at home. DIET involved 1 h per week of group-based dietary counseling comprising education, goal setting, and strategy training. ED involved 1 h per week of group-based brain health education classes. Our primary outcome was change in hippocampal volume from baseline to 6 months. Secondary outcomes included changes in cognitive function, blood biomarkers, diet, and fitness. Recruitment challenges and early discontinuation of the trial due to COVID-19 necessitated a revised focus on feasibility and preliminary efficacy.ResultsOf 190 older adults contacted, 14 (7%) were eligible and enrolled, constituting 21% of our recruitment target. All participants completed the intervention and attended 90% of exercise and DIET/ED sessions on average. All 6-month assessments prior to COVID-19 were completed but disruptions to in-person testing resulted in incomplete data collection. No serious adverse events occurred and all participants expressed positive feedback about the study. Preliminary findings did not identify any significant changes in hippocampal volume; however, substantial improvements in diet and HbA1c were observed with DIET compared to ED (d = 1.75 and 1.07, respectively).ConclusionsHigh adherence and retention rates were observed among participants and preliminary findings illustrate improvements in diet quality and HbA1c. These results indicate that a larger trial is feasible if difficulties surrounding recruitment can be mitigated.Trial registrationClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT03056508.
