Good Life with Osteoarthritis

AGP

Role: Collaborator

Requérant(e)s: VS - Institut Santé

Financement: HES-SO Rectorat

Description du projet : Die Prävalenz von HKA sowie die Anzahl Gelenksersatz-Operationen und die damit verbundenen Kosten nehmen stark zu. Die Schweiz steht mit der Anzahl an Hüft- und Knie-Gelenksersatz-Operationen weltweit an 1. Stelle (2003-2014 Knie-Gelenksersatz Operationen +115%; BfS 2014). Demgegenüber empfehlen internationale Leitlinien Übungen, Edukation und wenn nötig Gewichtskontrolle als erste Wahl für die Behandlung. Es fehlt in der Schweiz ein systematisches und strukturiertes Management von HKA Betroffenen basierend auf der bestehenden, starken Evidenz und internationalen Leitlinien, um Funktion und Selbstmanagement, und damit Lebensqualität und Autonomie ab Diagnose bis Operation zu fördern. Eine Befragung von HausärztInnen, RheumatologInnen und OrthopädInnen belegte diesen Evidence-Performance Gap und die Unterversorgung mit Übungen und Edukation als erster Wahl (Ettlin L. 2019). Es gibt darum grossen Bedarf, die vorhandene Fehlversorgung (Abwarten bis zur Operation, Übungen nicht als Standard) zu überwinden. Mit dem Programm "Good Life with osteoArthritis in Denmark"-Schweiz (GLAD-CH) soll ein Leitlinien-basiertes und qualitätskontrolliertes Management von HKA, das auch die Prävention von inaktivitäts-assoziierten NCDs in der Gesundheitsversorgung beinhaltet, als Standard-Angebot für HKA Betroffene implementiert werden. GLAD verbessert nachweislich Funktion und Lebensqualität und reduziert Schmerzen und Krankheitstage (Skou T. 2017). GLAD gibt es auch in Kanada, Australien und China. Um den Evidence-Performance-Gap im Management von HKA-Betroffenen zu schliessen, werden schweizweit PhysiotherapeutInnen (PTs) GLAD-CH zertifiziert. Das GLAD-CH Netzwerk wird durch neue Partner wie ärztliche Fachgesellschaften und Vertreter der Community (Schweiz. Vereinigung Morbus Bechterew-SVMB) erweitert. Synergien zwischen den Partnern werden genutzt: z.B. stellt die SVMB ihre online-Plattform (Rheumafit.ch) für das GLAD-CH Übungsprogramm zur Verfügung.

P2 The Swiss CHEF Trial : Comparison of Home-Based Exercise Programmes for Falls Prevention in Older People

AGP

Role: Collaborator

Financement: Fondation Leenaards; VS - Institut Santé

Description du projet : This project concerns quality of life in community-living elderlies. Our hypothesis is that a home-based exercises program, built on the concepts of Empowerment and Self-efficacy, can improve their quality of live as result of the increase of selfconfidence and of the decrease of falls incidence. We will conduct a randomized controlled multisite trial in Switzerland with 440 subjects and compare the effects of the T&E and the OTAGO programs on falls, quality of life and adherence.

Summary:

Introduction. – Home maintenance for seniors represents a relevant solution to respondto demographic changes. However, aging at home requires the possibility to evolve in an environment adapted to one's capacities. The aim of this study is to evaluate the advantages and limitations of housing specially designed to meet the needs of seniors. Method. – A questionnaire developed by the research team was distributed to residents of the barrierfree housing designed by Caisse de prévoyance du Canton du Valais (Switzerland). Quantitative data were analyzed descriptively, and qualitative data were analyzed using a thematic analysis.Results. – Participants reported a greater appreciation for their new housing and a better quality of life. They also reported feeling safer in all rooms and having less fear of falling in the bathroom, kitchen, and bedroom. Discussion. – These results highlight the relevance of developing housing adapted to the needs of seniors, allowing them to maintain their quality of life and their independence while remaining at home.Level of evidence: 5.

Summary:

Background : The proportion of the world population aged over 65 years is increasing in the world population. Quality of life is an important factor in the biopsychosocial management of older patients. The Older People’s Quality of Life-35 (OPQOL-35) questionnaire was developed specifically for assessment of the quality of life of older people. The aim of this study is to evaluate the psychometric properties of a Swiss French version of the OPQOL-35 questionnaire (OPQOL-35-SF). Methods : Forward–backward procedure was used to translate the original questionnaire from English into Swiss French. A sample of older people then completed the questionnaire. Construct validity of the OPQOL-35-SF was evaluated by comparing the results with those from three other questionnaires [World Health Organisation Quality of Life in older people questionnaire (WHOQOL-OLD), Control, Autonomy, Self-realization, Pleasure in 12 questions (CASP-12), and EuroQol-5-dimensions-5-levels (EQ-5D-5L)] and two visual analogue scales (health and quality of life). The structure of the OPQOL-35-SF questionnaire was assessed using exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis. To evaluate the reliability the OPQOL-35-SF questionnaire was completed a second time after 7–23 days. Results : A total of 264 older people completed all the questionnaires at the first session, and 262 completed the OPQOL-35-SF again at the second session. Mean age of participants was 76.8 (standard deviation (SD) = 7.1) years. The majority of participants were women (73.9%). The Kaiser–Meyer–Olkin Measure of Sampling Adequacy (KMO) was 0.86 and Bartlett’s test of sphericity was significant (p < 0.001). The result of Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) revealed 8 factors with eigenvalues greater than one, which explained 58% of the observed variance. All items had an acceptable loading (< 0.30) in at least one factor. The convergent validity presented low to moderate correlations (rho: 0.384–0.663). Internal consistency was good (Cronbach’s alpha 0.875 for test and 0.902 for retest). Test–retest reliability presented an intra-class correlation coefficient, two-way random effects, absolute agreement, single rater (ICC2.1) of 0.83 [95% confidence interval (CI) 0.78–0.87]. Conclusions : The Swiss French version of the OPQOL-35 questionnaire shows good psychometric properties, which permit its use in clinical practice or research. A supplementary sample would be necessary for a better distribution of the items in the different factors.
