- This study investigated if behavioral factors, treatment with behavioral support, readiness to change, fall self-efficacy, and activity habits could predict long-term adherence to an exercise program. Included in this study were 114 community-dwelling older adults who had participated in one of two home-based exercise interventions. Behavioral factors associated with adherence to the exercise program over 52 weeks were analyzed. The behavioral factors, specifically activity habits at baseline, significantly predicted adherence to the exercise program, with an odds ratio = 3.39, 95% confidence interval [1.38, 8.32], for exercise and an odds ratio = 6.11, 95% confidence interval [2.34, 15.94], for walks. Being allocated to a specific treatment including motivational interviewing was also significantly predictive: odds ratio = 2.47, 95% confidence interval [1.11, 5.49] for exercise adherence. In conclusion, activity habits and exercise in combination with motivational interviewing had a significant association with adherence to the exercise program at a 1-year follow-up.

- Introduction: Healthcare professionals', especially physiotherapists' role as promoters, preventers and rehabilitators play a significant role in prevention of falls. The purpose of this study was to gain knowledge on the risk factors which are associated with fall-related injuries among community dwelling men and women, based on Social Cognitive Theory (SCT) concepts. Patients and methods: The study includes 13,151 people who responded to a postal survey questionnaire in 2017. The random sample consisted of men and women aged 70 years and older. Multivariate regression models were used to explore associations between theory-based risk factors and fall-related injuries. Results: A total of 16% (1951 people) reported a fall-related injury during the past 12 months. For men, a total of seven risk factors were associated with fall-related injury: age, pain (neck/shoulder), incontinence, depression, help in daily living, education and sedentary behaviour. For women, a total of nine risk factors were associated with fall-related injury: age, pain (extremities and neck/shoulder), tiredness, incontinence, appetite, economy, accommodation and participation in social activities. Conclusions: This study identified risk factors from all aspects of the SCT, serving as a clinically useful theory in addition to traditional fall preventive actions. Gender differences should be considered when designing fall prevention strategies.

- This study investigated whether strength, balance, body mass index, falls self-efficacy, activity levels, self-rated health, and participation in a multicomponent exercise intervention could predict physical activity levels after 5 months of self-quarantine due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This study included baseline data of 200 community-dwelling older adults (79% women, 21% men) with a mean age of 72 years who participated in a randomized controlled trial investigating a multicomponent exercise program, with 7-month follow-up survey data of their physical activity levels. The results showed significant associations with the activity levels at the 7-month follow-up. The activity levels (odds ratio (OR): 2.83, 95% CI: 1.20–6.71), the self-rated health score (2.80, 1.42–5.53), and being allocated to a specific multicomponent group-based exercise program (2.04, 1.04–4.00) showed a significant association with the activity habits at the 7-month follow-up. As this study suggests, besides the physical activity levels and the self-rated health score, participation in a high challenge multicomponent exercise program was significantly associated with physical activity levels at the 7-month follow-up. This study indicates that a relatively short multicomponent group exercise program (6–9 weeks) can motivate individuals to sustain their own training and activity levels even several months after the program has been paused or terminated. Identifying older adults’ physical activity levels and self-rated health scores and prescribing multicomponent group-based exercise programs to promote sustained physical activity habits may be a successful alternative to provide for older adults in the future.

- ObjectiveOne key component in preventing unplanned pregnancies is to provide effective contraceptive counselling. This study aimed to investigate what characterises good contraceptive counselling from the woman's perspective.MethodsA qualitative study with a phenomenological approach. Twenty-four women aged 15–45 participated in semi-structured, individual, face-to-face interviews that lasted, on average, one hour. Data were analysed by latent content analysis.ResultsOne overall theme emerged, person-centred contraceptive counselling – an interactive process, with three main categories: (i) a trustworthy healthcare provider, (ii) creating a liaison and (iii) the right time and place.ConclusionsThe healthcare provider’s attributes as well as what happened between the healthcare provider and the woman, and the surrounding context, had a bearing on the women’s descriptions of good contraceptive counselling. The process of the counselling was described as more important than the actual outcome; thus, healthcare providers need to be aware that this seemingly straightforward consultation is rather multi-layered and has great health promoting potential.
