Teaching older adults fecal occult blood screening (FOBS) using the Adaptation for Aging Changes with Practice (AACP) Method significantly increased participation. This method adapts materials for aging and includes hands-on practice for better health screening engagement.

Area of Science:

  • Gerontology
  • Public Health
  • Health Education

Background:

  • Limited educational programs address the unique learning needs of the elderly.
  • Effective health screening participation among seniors is crucial for early disease detection.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the Adaptation for Aging Changes (AAC) Method's impact on fecal occult blood screening (FOBS) participation among older adults.
  • To assess the efficacy of incorporating hands-on practice into the AAC Method (AACP).

Main Methods:

  • A quasi-experimental pretest-posttest design was employed at elderly meal sites.
  • The AAC Method involved adapted materials, memory aids, and procedure demonstrations.
  • The AACP Method added practical, hands-on FOBS practice using peanut butter.

Main Results:

  • The AACP Method demonstrated a significant increase in FOBS participation (chi 2 = 5.34, p = 0.02; OR = 6.2).
  • Data analyzed from 135 participants aged 72 on average, with an 8th-grade education level.

Conclusions:

  • Teaching methods adapted for aging changes, particularly those including practical application, enhance participation in health screenings.
  • The AACP Method shows promise for improving colorectal cancer screening rates in older populations.
