N2  - BACKGROUND: Exercise is an important strategy with potential to improve recovery in older adults following a hip fracture. PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to test the impact of a self-efficacy based intervention, the Exercise Plus Program, and the different components of the intervention, on self-efficacy, outcome expectations, and exercise behavior among older women post-hip fracture. METHODS: Participants were randomized to one of four groups: exercise plus, exercise only, plus only (i.e., motivation), or routine care. Data collection was done at baseline (within 22 days of fracture), 2, 6, and 12 months post-hip fracture. RESULTS: A total of 209 women were recruited with an average age of 81.0 years (SD=6.9). The majority was White (97.1%), was widowed (57.2%), and had a high school education (66.7%). Generalized Estimating Equations were used to perform repeated measures analyses. No differences in trajectories of recovery were observed for self-efficacy or outcome expectations. A statistically significant difference in the overall trajectory of time in exercise was seen (p<.001), with more time spent exercising in all three treatment groups. CONCLUSIONS: The study demonstrated that it was possible to engage these women in a home-based exercise program and that the plus only, exercise only, and the exercise plus groups all increased exercise.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>
