Abstract
ABSTRACT The aim of this study was to explore experiences of applying the Plan-Do-Study-Act (PDSA) cycle among older Thai adults. A qualitative research approach was used based on focus group interviews with eight male and five female participants aged 62–78 years old. Data was analyzed using qualitative thematic analysis. The findings presented how older adults set, carried out, and adjusted their own lifestyle change plans to enhance active aging. Although participants experienced difficulties at first, learning during the group process following the PDSA steps became easier. Support from the moderator during meetings, as well as family during the execution of their plans at home ensured successful application of the PDSA cycle. The PDSA cycle encouraged participants to be concerned about their health, something they themselves found beneficial. This tool will be useful to apply in health practice and policy when performing group activities to enhance active aging.
