Trial Outcomes & Findings for Implementing CAPABLE in PSH (NCT NCT04076319)
NCT ID: NCT04076319
Last Updated: 2025-06-15
Results Overview
The modified Katz Activities of Daily Living (ADL) Index is an 8-item questionnaire that was completed by participants to rate their ability to perform daily activities, such as bathing, toileting, eating, and dressing, across a 5-point Likert scale (1 = no difficulty, 2 = a little difficulty, 3 = moderate difficulty, 4 = a lot of difficulty, 5 = unable to do). Items are summed to obtain a score with minimum and maximum values of 8 to 40, respectively, whereby higher scores represent greater difficulty performing ADLs.

Immediate CAPABLE
CAPABLE is a client-directed home-based intervention that consists of time-limited services from an occupational therapist, a nurse, and a handyman working collaboratively with the older adult client. In most cases, the OT makes 6 visits, the RN makes 4 visits, and a handyman makes 1 to 2 visits to make any modifications to a person's home during a 6-month period. The first visits for the OT and RN are usually 90 minutes each and the later ones are usually an hour each. Visits are spaced to enable older adults to practice new strategies learned in the previous visit. There should be a clear "conclusion/graduation," with the older adult understanding how to use their new skills and apply them to future situations.

Timeframe: Change of ability to perform IADLs from baseline to 6-month follow up (post-intervention).The Brief Instrumental Functioning Scale will be used to assess ability to perform in six functions: bathing, dressing, going to toilet, transferring, continence, and feeding. Each area is assessed on a five point scale; participants rated their ability to perform daily tasks on a 5-point scale (1 = no difficulty, 2 = a little difficulty, 3 = moderate difficulty, 4 = a lot of difficulty, 5 = unable to do). Items are summed to obtain a score with minimum and maximum values of 8 to 40, respectively, whereby higher scores represent greater difficulty performing ADLs.

Timeframe: Change in depression symptoms from baseline to 6-month follow up (post-intervention).Eight of the nine items in the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 were used to measure depression, rated on a 4-point scale of how frequently participants were bothered by the eight problems during a 2-week period (0 = not at all, 1 = several days, 2 = more than half the days, and 3 = nearly every day). Items are summed to obtain a score with minimum and maximum values of 0 to 24, respectively, whereby higher scores represent greater depressive symptoms.

Timeframe: Change of falls efficacy from baseline to 6-month follow up (post-intervention).Participants rated their confidence they could do each of 10 activities without falling on a 10-point scale, with total scores ranging from 10 (not very confident) to 100 (very confident) using the Tinetti Falls Efficacy Scale. Thus, higher scores indicate greater efficacy related to falls.

Two participants in the control group were excluded due to invalid responses.
Quality of life was assessed using a single item: "Overall, how would you rate your quality of life?" Response options ranged from 1 = worst possible quality of life to 11 = best possible quality of life. Thus, a higher value indicated greater self-rated quality of life.
