Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The number of people with chronic disease is increasing as is the need of preventive efforts to facilitate their health. Chronic diseases are defined as 'long-term health conditions' that require constant attention and/or limit activities of daily living. People living with one or multiple chronic diseases experience difficulties to live an active everyday life and restrictions of engagement in various activities are common. Interventions that support their process of change and development of self-management in everyday life in relation to their changed capacity needs to be established. Research shows that the access to interventions is facilitated by the use of internet-based solutions. Hence, an internet-based occupational therapy intervention 'Strategies Empowering activities in Everyday life' (SEE) has been developed that will be evaluated in a feasibility trial.

The feasibility study is designed as a longitudinal trial with pre-test, post test evaluation without control group embedded in a mixed method approach. Data will be collected by assessment tools, qualitative interviews and group interviews. Evaluation of the feasibility of the intervention and the study design will be conducted in terms of acceptability, adherence, values, and implementation, from the perspective of patients with chronic disease and health care personnel at different organizational levels in primary care, as well as in out-patient and in-patient care at a regional hospital.

The results from this feasibility study will support the continued development of SEE in future larger-scale evaluation studies. The goal is that SEE will add to existing interventions and becomes implemented in clinical practice. The results will be published in peer-reviewed scientific journals and presented at conferences.

Study Groups

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

Intervention

The group will receive the internet-based intervention 'SEE' focusing on supporting self-management of activities in everyday life to promote health. Beside SEE, they will also receive care as usual.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Strategies Empowering Activities in Everyday life (SEE 2.0)

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

SEEs internet-based intervention process begins with supporting the client to explore the need of and readiness for changes in everyday life. Thereafter, the client is supported to self-analyse their engagement in activities in everyday life along with use of management strategies in everyday life. Next, the client takes on web- modules including short educational movies with subsequent analyses and reflections. The modules aim to support the development of self-management by improving the knowledge of how strategies and changes in daily activities can prevent disabilities and contribute to improved health. After that, the focus is on establishing an activity plan with goals and activity-based management strategies to promote an active everyday life. The clients' implementation of the plan is supported through follow-up meetings. During the whole intervention process, the client is regularly supported by an occupational therapist through feedback and online guiding dialogues.
