[Implementation of the Lübeck model of themed movement activities in nursing. Cooperation at the local level to strengthen the prevention and health promotion in Berlin-Pankow]

Abstract

In accordance with Prevention Act law and the associated new prevention mandate of the nursing care funds, more preventive and health promoting activities have been taking place in inpatient care facilities since 2016. The Lübeck model of themed movement activities as a part of the program "Grow older in Balance" of the Federal Center for Health Education was developed as a physical, mental, and socially activating prevention program for elderly people with physical and cognitive impairments.The regional implementation of the Lübeck model in inpatient care facilities, facilities for age-appropriate living, as well as in day-care, serves the Berlin project "Adaptation and implementation of the Lübeck model of themed movement activities in the model region of Pankow - Low threshold exercise offers in nursing facilities for the elderly." This model project of the regional network Qualitätsverbund Netzwerk im Alter - Pankow e. V. (QVNIA e. V.) is presented in the current article.The relevant local structures and cooperation as well as the resulting and program-related requirements for participating actors are highlighted. With the aim of sustainable implementation of physical activity promotion in the nursing setting, a possible implementation path and quality assurance measures are presented.The transfer has shown that the concept of the Lübeck model can also be implemented in metropolitan structures. However, the implementation requires the consideration of the regional framework conditions. A centralized local control with the corresponding structural and procedural expertise as well as quality assurance assets is necessary. Positive experiences in the implementation of the program were acquired during the model phase and recommendations for the continuation and further development can be derived.
