Exercise prescribing: computer application in older adults.

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to determine if older adults are capable and willing to interact with a computerized exercise promotion interface and to determine to what extent they accept computer-generated exercise recommendations. DESIGN AND METHODS: Time and requests for assistance were recorded while 34 college-educated volunteers, equal numbers of men and women, ranging in age from 60 to 87, interfaced with a health promotion tool. The computerized exercise promotion tool's ease of use and the acceptability of the exercise recommendations made were rated by the participants. RESULTS: On average, completion of the items on the computer took 33 min and each participant made 3 requests for assistance, of which only 22% were mouse related. The system's ease of use and the exercise prescription acceptability ratings were high and independent of prior experience with computers. IMPLICATIONS: User friendliness of computerized health promotion tools will determine if, and how, health providers integrate these new technologies into daily practice. The participants in the study were able to complete the computerized items within a reasonable amount of time and with minimal assistance from the provider. These data support the potential of interactive technology in health promotion among the expanding older population.

Online help: cancer patients participate in a computer-mediated support group.

This study investigated a computer mediated support group of six breast cancer patients. For a three-month period, patients used home computers to connect to a computer bulletin board on which they read messages from and posted messages to each other. The patients had no difficulty learning to use the computer and used it an average of one hour a week. The patients discussed their medical conditions, shared personal concerns, and offered support. This online approach provided many features of traditional face-to-face support groups.

"Gathering the spirit" at First Baptist Church: spirituality as a protective factor in the lives of African American Children.

Knowledge of human behavior in cultural context is the source from which all ethnic-sensitive social work practice emerges.

This article summarizes an ethnographic study describing the beliefs of African American adults about children's socialization and related socialization practices within the context of Sunday school, and how this knowledge was used to generate an ethnic-sensitive social work intervention designed to support the development of resilience in African American children.
