Summary

The goal of this study is to:

1. assess the feasibility of the health chat for empowerment-based lifestyle planning for cardiometabolic multimorbidity (HcELP\_CMM);
2. examine the immediate effects of the HcELP\_CMM program on lifestyle behaviors, cardiometabolic indicators, symptom burden, health-related quality of life (HRQoL), psychological well-being, and physical function;
3. examine the long-term effects of the HcELP\_CMM program on lifestyle behaviors, cardiometabolic indicators, symptom burden, HRQoL, psychological well-being, and physical function in patients with CMM.

The main questions it aims to answer are:

1. If the HcELP\_CMM program is feasible?
2. If the HcELP\_CMM program has the potential to improve the lifestyle behaviors, cardiometabolic indicators, symptom burden, HRQoL, psychological well-being, and physical function in patients with CMM compared to the usual care group in the short-term？
3. If the HcELP\_CMM program has the potential to improve the lifestyle behaviors, cardiometabolic indicators, symptom burden, HRQoL, psychological well-being, and physical function in patients with CMM compared to the usual care group in the long-term？

  • Cardiometabolic Diseases
  • Multimorbidity

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

HcELP_CMM

The intervention consists of two phases. Phase 1 is an initial individualized, face-to-face meeting to collaboratively set goals and develop action plan (week 1) and Phase 2 is an ongoing, personalized online support delivered by WeChat platform utilizing the official account, chat function, and synchronized online videos to integrate and sustain healthy lifestyle (weekly, week 2-12). Phase 1 covers 4 core steps: 1) assess symptom burden and lifestyle behaviors; 2) generate and analysis symptom burden and lifestyle report; 3) empowerment-based therapeutic person-centered health communication; and 4) behavior commitment. Phase 2 covers two modules: 1) integrate healthy behaviors to long-term lifestyle, and 2) sustain healthy lifestyle behaviors.

BEHAVIORAL

Usual care-maintain daily lifestyle

Participants in this group will continue with their normal daily lifestyle. WeChat-based follow-up will be performed weekly in the first 4 weeks and bi-weekly in the next 8 weeks. Each follow-up will last for 20 minutes. Follow-up communications will include: (1) general well-being assessments using brief, non-intrusive inquiries (e.g., "How have participants felt overall in the past week/two weeks?"); (2) disease management monitoring through standardized question tracking significant changes in their underlying diseases, intentionally avoiding exploration of intervention-targeted lifestyle behaviors (e.g., "Have participants experienced notable changes in their health status or disease management approach since last contact?"); and (3) addressing disease-related inquiries. For any questions inquired by participants in the control group, general advice will be given for ethical consideration.
