DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This Phase I project has two long-term and interrelated objectives. Both pertain to developing an evidence- based program in holistic wellness and a practice-based research community for the study of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM). First, we seek to build, test, and disseminate an Internet-based wellness program that gives instruction, guidance, and social support for the self-care practice of Qigong (pronounced "chee-gong") - a form of meditative movement, relaxation, and self-massage based in Traditional Chinese Medicine and showing positive health effects in clinical trials research. Second, the program will function as a research tool, collecting user information (following informed consent) about health and Qigong practices and monitor the impact of practice. The need for this program is based on growing popular interest in Qigong, evidence for its effectiveness, limited research on consumer-driven CAM practices, expansion of the Internet (including social networking) for CAM, and growth in whole-systems research. As a commercial product, the program will include self-assessments, access to practice modules that address issues identified in assessments, social networking, coaching, planning (a calendar), and other resources. The program has the potential to address two Institute of Medicine (2005) recommendations for CAM, to develop (1) a sentinel surveillance system composed of sites that collect data on patterns of CAM and (2) practice-based CAM research networks. The current project has three aims: (Aim 1) Develop a prototype with easy to use, health instruction tools. The prototype will present Qigong in ways that address concerns users identify via a dynamic self-assessment tool. Phase I will develop a tool prototype, including display of feedback and links to Qigong practices. (Aim 2) Pilot test the program by obtaining reactions from novice (n=30) and more advanced (n=30) Qigong practitioners. Users will rate program content, knowledge gained, and potential for the program to enhance health. (Aim 3) Utilize pilot test findings to identify revisions for Phase II production. The project team includes an advanced teacher of Qigong whose career includes more than 30 years of practice experience, authoring books on Qigong, and service as a national advisor on Qigong. Consultants include scientists from the field of CAM and an expert in e-learning, all of whom will advise on program design and interpretation of Phase I findings. The Principal Investigator (with an established track record in evidence-based wellness research) has worked previously with the software development group in building e-health protocols. The PI, software group, and Qigong teacher have laid out very specific plans/milestones for prototype development. The pilot study is designed to yield a rich set of survey data for analysis and Phase II full-program development. This includes preliminary evidence regarding who might be the best candidates for such a program (beginners versus advanced users, or those with particular symptom profiles) and what its effects might be, which will be vital to planning future clinical research. Phase I plans include publishing results from these analyses. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: Many individuals use holistic (mind-body) wellness practices for health care in complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) without consulting professionals and little is known about the contexts, processes, and outcomes of such self-care behavior. The proposed project is relevant to public health in aiming to understand these processes while also promoting CAM practices known to have positive health impact. The project will develop a highly interactive, Internet-based learning tool to present Simple Qigong practices (gentle movement, relaxation, and self-massage) from Traditional Chinese Medicine. It will be designed to appeal to a wide group of users. Pilot data on practice and outcomes will advance knowledge of consumer-driven CAM.

描述（由申请人提供）：此阶段项目具有两个长期和相互关联的目标。这两者都与制定基于证据的整体健康计划以及用于互补和替代医学研究（CAM）的基于实践的研究社区。首先，我们寻求建立，测试和传播一个基于互联网的健康计划，该计划为气功（发音为“ Chee-Gong”）的自我保健实践提供指导，指导和社会支持，这是一种冥想运动，放松和基于中国传统医学的一种形式，并在临床试验研究中表现出积极的健康效应。其次，该程序将充当研究工具，收集有关健康和气功实践的用户信息（遵循知情同意），并监视实践的影响。对该计划的需求是基于对气功的日益普遍兴趣，其有效性的证据，对消费者驱动的CAM实践的有限研究，互联网的扩展（包括社交网络）（包括社交网络）以及整个系统研究的增长。作为商业产品，该计划将包括自我评估，访问练习模块，以解决评估中确定的问题，社交网络，教练，计划（日历）和其他资源。该计划有可能向两家医学研究所（2005）针对CAM提出的建议，以开发（1）一个哨兵监视系统，该系统由收集CAM模式和（2）基于实践的CAM研究网络的网站组成。当前项目具有三个目标：（目标1）开发具有易于使用的健康指导工具的原型。该原型将以解决用户通过动态自我评估工具确定的问题来呈现气功。第一阶段将开发一个工具原型，包括显示反馈和气功实践的链接。 （AIM 2）通过获得新手（n = 30）和更高级（n = 30）气功实践者的反应来测试程序。用户将评估程序内容，获得的知识以及计划增强健康的潜力。 （AIM 3）利用试点测试结果来确定第二阶段生产的修订。该项目团队包括一位气功的高级老师，其职业生涯包括超过30年的练习经验，有关气功的书籍以及作为气功的国家顾问的服务。顾问包括来自CAM领域的科学家和电子学习专家，所有这些都将就I阶段发现的计划设计和解释提供建议。首席研究员（在循证健康研究中具有既定的往绩）以前曾与软件开发小组合作构建电子健康协议。 PI，软件小组和气功老师已经制定了针对原型开发的非常具体的计划/里程碑。该试点研究旨在产生大量的调查数据，以进行分析和II期全面编程开发。这包括关于谁可能是这样一个计划的最佳候选人（初学者与高级用户，或具有特殊症状特征的人）及其影响可能是什么，这对于计划未来的临床研究至关重要。第一阶段计划包括这些分析的发布结果。 公共卫生相关性：许多人在没有咨询专业人员的情况下使用整体（思维）健康实践来进行互补和替代医学（CAM）的医疗保健，并且对这种自我保健行为的背景，过程和结果知之甚少。拟议的项目与公共卫生有关，旨在了解这些过程，同时促进已知具有积极健康影响的CAM实践。该项目将开发一种高度互动的，基于互联网的学习工具，以提供传统中药的简单气功实践（轻柔的运动，放松和自我量）。它将旨在吸引一系列用户。实践和结果的试点数据将提高对消费者驱动的CAM的了解。
