Abstract

Purpose

The purposes of the current study were to (1) describe the restructuring and dissemination of a Canada-wide intervention curriculum designed to enhance health care professionals’ prescription of physical activity to patients with physical disabilities, and (2) examine interventionists’ social cognitions for, and their acceptance and adoption of, the new curriculum.

Methods

A participatory curriculum development process was utilized, resulting in a theory- and evidence-based curriculum. Interventionists (N = 28) were trained in curriculum delivery and most (n = 22) completed measures of Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) constructs assessing their cognitions for delivering the new curriculum at pre- and post-training and at 6-month follow-up. Interventionists also completed a Diffusion of Innovations (DOI) measure assessing their opinion of whether the new curriculum met characteristics that would facilitate its adoption and use.

Results

Interventionists reported strong TPB cognitions for curriculum use before training. Significant increases emerged for some TPB constructs (ps ≤ 0.025) from pre- to post-training, and significant decreases were seen in some TPB constructs (ps ≤ 0.024) between post-training and 6-month follow-up. The interventionists rated the new curriculum as high on all the DOI characteristics.

Conclusion

The theory-driven, participatory development process facilitated interventionists’ social cognitions towards and adoption of the new curriculum. Positive increases in TPB cognitions from pre- to post-training were not maintained at follow-up. Further research is needed to determine if these changes in cognitions are indicative of a curriculum “reinvention” process that facilitates long-term curriculum use. Understanding curriculum adoption and implementation is a crucial step to determining the potential population impact of the intervention.

For the purposes of this paper, the term HCPs includes physicians, nurses, rehabilitation therapists, kinesiologists, and any other professional who provides LTPA advice to patients.

The CPC is a non-profit, private organization dedicated to the development and promotion of a sustainable Paralympic sport system in Canada. The CPC aims to promote the success of athletes with a physical disability at all levels of parasport (i.e., parallel sport opportunities for people with a physical disability).

An overview of the content of the new 30-slide curriculum can be found in Cripps, Tomasone, and Staples [14].

As an index of internal consistency of the measures, Cronbach’s alpha (α) values were calculated when the scales had three or more items, and Pearson correlations (r) were calculated when the scales had only two items. Internal consistency is considered adequate if α ≥ 0.7 [28].
