The Effect of an Online-supervised Exercise Program in Elderly People With Diabetes on Fasting Blood Sugar, Psychological Resilience, and Quality of Life: A Double Blind Randomize Controlled Trial

This study was conducted to determine the effect of an online-supervised exercise program on fasting blood sugar, psychological resilience, and quality of life in elderly people with diabetes. A parallel-group, randomized controlled trial design was used. The study was conducted in a public hospital with 70 patients with elderly type 2 diabetes between Nowember 2021 and May 2022. A Personal Information Form, The Brief Resilience Scale and A Measure of Quality of Life in the Elderly were used to collect data.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Online-supervised exercise group
After the pre-tests (The Brief Resilience Scale, Quality of Life) , the patients were given online-supervised exercise education for 6 weeks.
Behavioral: Online-supervised exercise group
Participants in the online-supervised exercise group were provided with an online-supervised exercise program by using the video conferencing method three times a week for 6 weeks on the Zoom application. The exercise program was carried out synchronously
Experimental: The unsupervised-exercise training group
After the pre-tests (The Brief Resilience Scale, Quality of Life) , the patients were given unsupervised exercise education for 6 weeks.
Behavioral: Unsupervised-exercise training group
The unsupervised-exercise training group was informed about how to do the same exercises by another researcher, a nurse academician, on the online platform by using the lecturing method. Each training intervention took approximately 30 minutes.

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
The Brief Resilience Scale
Time Frame: 5 minute
The scale was developed by Smith et al. to measure individuals' resilience levels and was adapted to Turkish by Doğan. It is a one-dimensional 6-item measurement tool. High scores obtained from the scale indicate that the individual's psychological resilience is good. Cronbach's alpha internal consistency coefficient of the scale is .83.
5 minute
A Measure of Quality of Life in the Elderly
Time Frame: 5 minute
This scale was developed by Hyde et al. in 2003 to measure the quality of life of the elderly. It was adapted to Turkish society in 2014 by Türkoğlu and Adıbelli. An increase in the total score indicates an increase in the quality of life. The scale consists of two sub-dimensions, namely "perceived autonomy and satisfaction" and "perceived disability". Cronbach's alpha value of the original scale is .91.
