Implementing enhancements in supervised group exercise for people with axial spondyloarthritis: a hybrid effectiveness–implementation study
Authors' conclusion
After this pilot implementation, SGE enhancements were only partially implemented. Nevertheless, aerobic capacity improved significantly and satisfaction with accomplished changes was high.
Study context
- Population
- People with axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) in supervised group exercise, four regions in the Netherlandsplus 4 supervised group exercise (SGE) supervisors interviewed
- Participants
- 60 people
- Comparison
- Baseline vs one year after implementing enhancements in axSpA-specific supervised group exercise
- SGEn = 60
- Outcome
- Effects of SGE enhancements: aerobic capacity (6MWT), physical functioning (ASPI), health status (ASAS HI) and home exercise engagement (SQUASH), baseline vs 1 year
- Follow-up
- After one year
Methodological detailspilot implementation study, single-group pre–post, four regions in the Netherlands, Implementation strategy: one-day supervisor training course and telephone support
- Pilot implementation study
- Single-group pre–post
- Four regions in the Netherlands
- Implementation strategy: one-day supervisor training course and telephone support
Main finding
As reported in the abstract
Participants who improved functioning (ASPI)
35%
Further findings
Feasibility: implementation of enhancements
- High-intensity aerobic exercise implemented successfully
- Exercise personalization and periodic assessments implemented partially
- Patient education not implemented at all
- Most participants satisfied with the changes
