AI Article Synopsis
- A pilot study assessed the effectiveness of a tablet-based cognitive behavioral intervention (Tab-CBI) on daily step counts, fatigue, and self-efficacy in 24 older adults.
- Results indicated a significant increase in daily steps after the intervention compared to a control group, but no notable differences in fatigue and self-efficacy between groups were observed.
- While the findings show promising effects of Tab-CBI, they should be interpreted with caution due to the study's preliminary nature.
Article Abstract
This pilot study evaluated the effect of the tablet-based cognitive behavioral intervention ("Tab-CBI") on daily steps, fatigue, and self-efficacy. Tab-CBI combined simple walking and a cognitive behavioral approach. An experimental pretest-posttest repeated measures design was used with 24 older adults. RM-ANOVA results showed a significant group difference (Tab-CBI vs. Comparison), F (1, 22) = 2.25, p =0.048 and time difference (baseline vs. week 4 vs. week 6), F (2, 44) =5.04, p =0.01 in daily steps. There was no significant group difference, F (1, 22) = 2.99, p =0.09, but significant time difference existed, F (2, 44) =2.65, p =0.04 in the PROMIS Fatigue scores. In the PROMIS Self-efficacy scores, no significant group difference, F (1, 22) = 0.02, p =0.90) was found, but significant time difference existed, F (2, 44) =3.27, p = 0.04. The findings provide preliminary evidence for the positive impact of Tab-CBI, but should be interpreted cautiously.
