Area of Science:

  • Health promotion and disability research.
  • Behavioral science and intervention studies.

Background:

  • Health promotion efforts often have limited reach for individuals with disabilities.
  • Tailored interventions are needed to address the unique needs of this population.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To pilot a health-coaching intervention with a disability-specific curriculum.
  • To evaluate the intervention's effects on health-related quality of life and health behavior change in adults with disabilities.

Main Methods:

  • A mixed-methods design using pre-post surveys and semi-structured interviews.
  • 39 community-dwelling adults with disabilities participated in a 12-week, one-on-one health coaching program.
  • Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQOL) and health behaviors were assessed.

Main Results:

  • Statistically significant improvements were observed in poor-health days (physical and mental) and physical activity.
  • Engagement with disability-specific curriculum content correlated with positive outcomes.
  • Qualitative data revealed tailoring, goal enthusiasm, and social support as key mechanisms.

Conclusions:

  • Health coaching demonstrates effectiveness in enhancing health-related quality of life and promoting health behaviors, particularly physical activity, among people with disabilities.
  • Personalized goals, tailored information, and social support are crucial elements for successful health behavior change in this population.
