Cognitive Development During Adulthood01:30

Cognitive Development During Adulthood

193
Cognitive development continues throughout adulthood, undergoing significant shifts across early, middle, and late stages. Individual transition occurs from adolescent idealism to pragmatic and adaptable thinking in early adulthood. During this period, individuals learn to integrate personal beliefs with the recognition that other perspectives are equally valid. Exposure to the complexities of modern society, diverse experiences, and higher education contribute to this adaptive thought process,...

Aging

135
Aging is a complex biological phenomenon influenced by various processes that affect cellular and systemic functions. Several prominent theories attempt to explain its mechanisms, highlighting cellular limitations, oxidative damage, and hormonal changes as central factors in aging.
Cellular Clock Theory
The cellular clock theory posits that the human lifespan is closely tied to the finite capacity of cells to divide, a phenomenon governed by telomeres, which are protective caps at the ends of...

Community Based Intervention

76
Community-based interventions in mental health represent a paradigm shift from institution-centered care to treatments embedded within the fabric of local communities. By prioritizing inclusion and leveraging existing societal structures, this approach fosters a supportive environment conducive to addressing mental health challenges while promoting individual dignity and agency.
Foundations of Community Mental Health Programs
Central to the success of community-based interventions is the...

Models of Health Promotion and Illness Prevention II

1.7K
The person's health status fluctuates continually, varying from being in good health to becoming ill and returning to being healthy. To understand the concept of illness prevention, there are two models. First, the health-illness continuum model is a graphic representation of an individual's wellness. It states that a person is considered healthy in the absence of physical disease and the presence of good emotional health.
The agent-host-environment model states that disease results...

Emerging Adulthood

144
Jeffrey Arnett's concept of emerging adulthood offers a framework to understand the unique developmental stage between adolescence and full-fledged adulthood, generally from ages 18 to 25. This period is marked by extensive exploration and shifts in identity, relationships, and career choices, a process known in psychology as role experimentation. Emerging adulthood reflects the evolving cultural expectations surrounding adulthood and the dynamic process of personal transformation during...

Models of Health Promotion and Illness Prevention I

2.1K
A model is a theoretical way to understand a concept or an idea. Models can overcome barriers to health regardless of diverse economic and cultural backgrounds. In addition, models make the task easier by providing different ways to approach complex issues. There are two major health promotion models: the health belief model and the health promotion model.
The health belief model (HBM) attempts to predict health-related behavior in specific belief patterns. According to the HBM, a person's...

Area of Science:

  • Gerontology and Health Informatics
  • Digital Health Interventions
  • Physical Activity Promotion

Background:

  • A minority of adults over 50 meet World Health Organization physical activity (PA) guidelines.
  • eHealth interventions can increase PA in this demographic short-term.
  • Mobile elements are being integrated to enhance long-term engagement and reduce dropout.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To enhance two existing computer-based PA interventions with mobile elements.
  • To test the usability and appreciation of these enhanced interventions in adults over 50.

Main Methods:

  • A systematic design protocol involved development, evaluation, and adaptation with target population input.
  • Six prototypes were created by adding an activity tracker, ecological momentary intervention (EMI), or chatbot to existing interventions.
  • Pilot testing with 47 participants assessed usability and appreciation, followed by refinement.

Main Results:

  • Literature searches and interviews informed prototype development based on user preferences.
  • Mobile elements showed moderate to good usability (System Usability Scale scores 52.2-82.2) and enjoyment (5.1-8.1/10).
  • Activity trackers scored highest, followed by EMI, then chatbots; technical issues with EMI and chatbots were addressed.

Conclusions:

  • Six prototypes of online PA interventions with mobile elements were successfully developed and pilot-tested.
  • All prototypes demonstrated moderate to high usability, enjoyment, and satisfaction.
  • Integrating activity trackers with computer-based PA interventions appears most promising for sustained engagement in older adults.
