عنوان انگلیسی The Effectiveness of "Active Aging" Intervention on the Hope and Worry of Retired Women: A Quasi-experimental Study
چکیده انگلیسی مقاله
Objective: Active aging promotes optimal health, social participation, and well-being in older adults. This study examined the effectiveness of an active aging intervention on the levels of hope and worry among retired women. We assessed whether this training can significantly enhance hope and reduce worry in older women.
Methods: A quasi-experimental design with a control group was employed in a study involving 59 retired women residing in Tehran, Iran. Participants were selected using convenience sampling and randomly assigned to the intervention and control groups. The Adult Hope Scale (AHS), Penn State Worry Questionnaire (PSWQ), and Sharkey's Physical Activity questionnaire were administered before and after the intervention. We used analysis of covariance for data analysis.
Results: The intervention significantly increased hope (pretest: 27.21 ± 8.65 vs. posttest: 32.60 ± 5.49) and physical activity (pretest: 12.12 ± 4.17 vs. posttest: 17.54 ± 4.23). In contrast, it reduced worry (pretest: 52.27±8.45 vs posttest: 47.10 ± 7.35) compared to the control group, hope (pretest: 26.33±9.72 vs posttest: 27.12 ± 6.31), physical activity (pretest: 15.25±6.38 vs posttest: 13.33 ± 5.20), and worry (pretest: 53.43±8.15 vs posttest: 51.31 ± 7.61). Multivariate analysis of covariance revealed significant differences after the intervention (P < 0.001) in all three variables.
Conclusion: Active aging interventions effectively enhance hope, reduce worry, and promote physical activity in older women, supporting their broader implementation in health promotion programs.
