Objectives

Narrative objectives1

To evaluate the effects of a community-pharmacy-based "Pottery + Health Monitoring Program (Senior Plan)" on social connectedness (LSNS-6 as the primary focus) and on physical, cognitive, sleep, and depressive symptoms through a 12-24-month longitudinal intervention.

Basic objectives2

Others

Basic objectives -Others

To assess reduction in social isolation risk (proportion with LSNS-6 <12) and to identify program improvement areas via satisfaction/CS analysis and continuity of participation.

Assessment

Primary outcomes

Change from baseline to 12 months in the median Lubben Social Network Scale-6 (LSNS-6) score. Timepoints: baseline, 3, 6, 12, 18, 24 months (primary assessment at 12 months)

Key secondary outcomes

Social and Subjective Outcomes
Comparison of the proportion with LSNS-6 <12 before and after (social isolation risk)
Timing: baseline, 3, 6, 12, 18, 24 months
Original questionnaire (items on effects of pottery: 1-5 points, total score and median; dichotomized analysis 1-3 vs 4-5)
Timing: same as above
Satisfaction survey (cross-analysis of importance x satisfaction using CS analysis, qualitative analysis of free-text comments)
Timing: 12 and 24 months

Physical Function and Vital Signs
Body weight (each session / evaluation points)
BMI (evaluation points)
Blood pressure (each session / evaluation points)
Pulse rate (each session / evaluation points)
SpO2 (each session / evaluation points)
Grip strength (evaluation points; maximum value using Smedley dynamometer)
Reaction time (ruler drop test: mean value)
5 m walking test (usual and maximum walking time; mean of 2 trials)
Manual dexterity (Purdue Pegboard):
- Number of pegs inserted in 30 seconds (right and left hand)
- Number of assemblies completed in 1 minute
Timing: items 4-12 at baseline, 3, 6, 12, 18, 24 months
(body weight, blood pressure, pulse rate, SpO2, and grip strength also measured at each session)

Cognitive, Sleep, Mood, and Ikigai
Mini-Cog (total score)
Athens Insomnia Scale (AIS) (total score)
Geriatric Depression Scale GDS-15 (total score)
Ikigai Scale (total score)
Timing: baseline, 3, 6, 12, 18, 24 months
