Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Most older adults want to stay at home for as long as possible. To reach this aim it is important to maintain their mobility and self-care abilities. However, many older adults are at risk to lose their abilities, as they have an inactive lifestyle. In this study, homecare professionals learn to motivate their clients to be more active in daily and physical activities. Examples of these activities are washing and dressing, household chores or going for a walk.

The primary aim of this exploratory study is to evaluate the implementation of the 'Stay Active at Home' program (process evaluation). The secondary aim is to get insight into the potential effectiveness of the program with regard to several primary and secondary outcomes measures (effect evaluation). The tertiary aim is to test the feasibility of the proposed study design.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Stay Active at Home

One group of homecare professionals receives a training programme. In this training they learn to motivate their clients to be more active in daily and physical activities.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Stay Active at Home

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Stay Active at Home' aims to change the behaviour of community nurses and domestic support workers by offering them an intensive training programme. Subsequently, professionals are expected to deliver goal-oriented, holistic and person-centred services focusing on supporting older adults to maintain, gain or restore their competences to engage in physical and daily activities so that they can manage their everyday life as independently as possible.

Usual care

Second group of homecare professionals will get no training and their clients will receive usual homecare.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Usual care

Intervention Type OTHER

Homecare professionals will get no training and their clients will receive usual homecare.
