Samenvatting

Inleiding

In een gerandomiseerd onderzoek liet een cognitief gedragsmatige cursus, Zicht op Evenwicht, positieve effecten zien op bezorgdheid om te vallen en gerelateerd vermijdingsgedrag bij zelfstandig wonende ouderen. Het huidige onderzoek richt zich op de effecten en uitvoerbaarheid van deze cursus na (landelijke) implementatie in thuiszorgorganisaties.

Methode

In een pre-experimenteel onderzoek met een voormeting en nametingen na twee en vier maanden is Zicht op Evenwicht geëvalueerd bij 125 zelfstandig wonende ouderen. De effectmaten betroffen bezorgdheid om te vallen, gerelateerd vermijdingsgedrag, valincidenten, medische hulp na een valincident, gevoelens van angst, symptomen van depressie en eenzaamheid.

Resultaten

Met de Wilcoxon signed-rank test en de gepaarde t-test is een significante verbetering waargenomen tussen de voormeting en de laatste nameting voor bezorgdheid om te vallen, gerelateerd vermijdingsgedrag, aantal valincidenten, gevoelens van angst en symptomen van depressie. De andere uitkomsten verschilden in deze analyses niet significant.

Discussie

Ook na implementatie in de thuiszorgorganisaties lijkt de cursus Zicht op Evenwicht een positief effect te hebben bij zelfstandig wonende ouderen, op onder andere bezorgdheid om te vallen, gerelateerd vermijdingsgedrag en valincidenten. Gezien de overeenkomsten met de resultaten uit het gerandomiseerde onderzoek kan worden gesteld dat de cursus succesvol te implementeren is in thuiszorgorganisaties.
