Abstract

Keys to Embracing Aging (KTEA) is a community-based educational program that introduces and reinforces health behaviors that promote healthy aging. Data from 12 distinct KTEA lessons delivered by 42 Cooperative Extension educators to 764 unique participants across one year were examined to determine the program's impact on attitude, diet, physical activity, brain health, belonging, staying up-to-date, safety, health, stress, finances, sleep, and self-care. The most frequent immediate behavior changes occurred in practicing self-care, developing a positive attitude, and making safe choices. And longer-term behavior change was reported in the areas of maintaining a positive attitude, brain health, and healthy eating. Participants discussed challenges related to time, commitment, and maintaining a habitual routine of healthy behaviors. KTEA outcomes indicated a promising community-based educational program and supported continued investigation and development in health promotion within Cooperative Extension. Future research is needed to examine the versatility and long-term effects of the KTEA intervention.

拥抱衰老的关键:健康的衰老干预。

拥抱老龄化的关键(KTEA)是一个以社区为基础的教育项目，旨在介绍和加强促进健康老龄化的健康行为。研究人员检查了42名合作推广教育者在一年内向764名参与者提供的12个不同的KTEA课程的数据，以确定该计划对态度、饮食、身体活动、大脑健康、归属感、保持最新状态、安全、健康、压力、财务、睡眠和自我保健的影响。最常见的即时行为改变发生在自我照顾、培养积极的态度和做出安全的选择方面。据报道，长期的行为改变体现在保持积极的态度、大脑健康和健康的饮食方面。参与者讨论了与时间、承诺和保持健康行为习惯相关的挑战。KTEA的结果表明了一个有前途的社区教育计划，并支持在合作推广中继续调查和发展健康促进。未来的研究需要检验KTEA干预的多功能性和长期效果。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Prevention & Intervention in the Communityis on the cutting edge of social action and change, not only covering current thought and developments, but also defining future directions in the field. Under the editorship of Joseph R. Ferrari since 1995, Prevention in Human Services was retitled as the Journal of Prevention & Intervention in the Communityto reflect its focus of providing professionals with information on the leading, effective programs for community intervention and prevention of problems. Because of its intensive coverage of selected topics and the sheer length of each issue, the Journal of Prevention & Intervention in the Community is the first-and in many cases, primary-source of information for mental health and human services development.
