This study examines how multicomponent exercise nursing interventions affect the state of frailty, daily activities, and quality of life in elderly stroke patients with frailty. A total of 125 elderly stroke patients with frailty were randomly assigned to either a control group ( = 62) or an intervention group ( = 63). The control group received standard nursing care, while the intervention group received a multicomponent exercise nursing intervention in addition to standard care. Patients were assessed using the FRAIL Frailty Scale, Modified Barthel Index (MBI), and Short Form Health Survey (SF-36) before the intervention, 4 weeks after the intervention, and 12 weeks after the intervention. Significant differences were observed between the two groups in terms of frailty status, activities of daily living, and quality of life ( < 0.05). The intervention group had lower scores on the FRAIL Frailty Scale and higher scores on the MBI and SF-36 compared to the control group at both 4 and 12 weeks after the intervention ( < 0.05). These findings suggest that multicomponent exercise nursing interventions can effectively reduce frailty and improve activities of daily living and quality of life in elderly stroke patients with frailty.

Background: Delirium is a condition characterized by an acute and transient disturbance in attention, cognition, and consciousness. It is increasingly prevalent at the end of life in patients with cancer. While non-pharmacological nursing interventions are essential for delirium prevention, their effectiveness in terminally ill patients with cancer remains unclear.

Background: Despite the comparatively high prevalence of possible sarcopenia among young-old adults in the community, there is currently no available and effective social media-based intervention to increase the awareness and change the behavior of the target population to prevent sarcopenia. Using co-design methodology, we developed a multicomponent intervention strategy of health education and exercise for sarcopenia prevention utilizing the TikTok platform.
Objectives: The primary purpose of this study is to examine the feasibility and acceptability of the social media-based intervention to enhance muscle function in community-dwelling young-old adults with possible sarcopenia.
The Physical Activity at Work (PAW) Program in Thai Office Workers: Mixed Methods Process Evaluation Study.

Background: An increasing number of multicomponent workplace interventions are being developed to reduce sedentary time and promote physical activity among office workers. The Physical Activity at Work (PAW) trial was one of these interventions, but it yielded an inconclusive effect on sedentary time after 6 months, with a low uptake of movement breaks, the main intervention component.
Objective: This study investigates the factors contributing to the outcomes of the PAW cluster randomized trial.

Article Synopsis
- Aging leads to physiological changes and increased disease vulnerability, culminating in higher mortality rates as individuals get older.
- Regular physical activity (PA) and exercise can counteract aging effects, improve health span, and reduce the risk of chronic diseases such as heart disease and cancer.
- Personalized exercise plans, including various forms of training like aerobic and resistance exercises, are essential for maintaining health and functionality in older adults, particularly those with age-related issues.

The multicomponent intervention FIBROWALK integrates pain science education (PSE), therapeutic exercise, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and mindfulness training for treating fibromyalgia (FM). This study investigated the effects of the FIBROWALK in online (FIBRO-On) and outdoor (FIBRO-Out) formats compared to treatment-as-usual (TAU) on core clinical variables along with serum immune-inflammatory biomarkers and brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF). Furthermore, the predictive value of these biomarkers on clinical response to FIBROWALK was also evaluated.
