Transferability of interventions promoting physical activity-related health competence among nursing students: Evaluation of implementation and effectiveness 1: Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg, Germany; 2: Technical University of Munich, Department Health and Sport Sciences, Munich, Germany Background Following the integration of physical activity-related health competence (PAHCO) into the Bavarian nursing education curriculum in 2020, the TakeCare! project investigated strategies promoting PAHCO in a cluster-randomized study involving 16 nursing schools allocated to three intervention groups (IG1-IG3) and a control group (CG). IG1 implemented participatorily-developed interventions. IG2 and IG3 implemented an expert-developed intervention, delivered by physical activity professionals (IG2) and teachers (IG3). The CG received no systematic intervention. This contribution examined transferability of implementation and effectiveness to subsequent student cohorts. Methods Implementation was evaluated using a mixed-methods approach, collecting and analysing qualitative and quantitative data from school project coordinators (n=16). To investigate effectiveness, questionnaire-based data on students’ PAHCO (n=315) were collected at the beginning and end of the training year and analysed using linear models (ANOVA). Results In the long term, IG1 schools implemented about half of the participatorily-developed components, where in IG2 and IG3, two schools each continued individual intervention content. The remaining IG3 schools further implemented single components, while the other schools in IG2 discontinued the intervention. At student level, no significant time-group interaction effect was found for PAHCO sub-competencies (p>.05). Conclusions Especially in IG1 and IG2, parts of the interventions were continued, allowing subsequent cohorts to benefit. However, the interventions’ effectiveness has not been demonstrated. The findings will inform Bavarian-wide implementation recommendations, supporting practitioners and policymakers in establishing the promotion of PAHCO. Support/Funding Source The Bavarian State Ministry of Health, Care and Prevention and the German health insurance company KKH Kaufmännische Krankenkasse provided funding. | |
