About this study

Background. There is a growing demand for long-term care settings. Care-home residents are a vulnerable group with high levels of physical dependency and cognitive impairment. Long-term care facilities' policy need to adapt and offer more effective and sustainable interventions to address their complex physical and mental health needs. Despite the increasing emphasis on patient and public involvement, marginalised groups such as care-home residents, can be overlooked when including people in the research process. The GET READY project aims to integrate service-learning methodology into Physical Therapy and Sport Sciences University degrees by offering students individual service opportunities (placements) with residential care homes, in order to co-create the best suited intervention with researchers, older adults of both genders (end-users) in care homes, health professionals, caregivers, family members and policy makers.

Methods. Stage 1 will integrate a service-learning methodology within a Physical Therapy module in Glasgow and Sport Sciences module in Barcelona, design two workshops for care home residents and conduct a co-creation protocol. Stage 2 will assess the intervention feasibility, safety and preliminary effects of the co-created intervention in a group of 33 care home residents, within a two-armed pragmatic randomized clinical trial.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Co-created intervention - Get Ready (GR)Behavioural

    The Get Ready (GR) intervention was delivered one-to-one with the care home resident and a relevant family member during a 12-week period:

    1. The familiarisation stage aimed to build a rapport with two long-term achievement goals to sit less and move more with the resident and the family member and consisted of two sessions, one in week 1 (50-60minutes) and the other in week 3 (30-40 minutes).
    2. The ramping up stage aimed to review the rapport and reach an achievable consensus with the resident and the family member. It consisted of two sessions, one in week 5 and the other in week 7 (20-30 minutes each).
    3. The maintenance stage aimed at integrating behaviours and included two sessions, one in week 9 and the other at week 12 (20-30 minutes each). Sessions 5 and 6 were used to understand how the resident was getting on with their short-term GR goals, facilitating some problem-solving discussions.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Change in minutes spent in sedentary behaviour

    Number of minutes spent in activities requiring ≤ Metabolic Equivalent Tasks with ActivPal monitor.

    Measured: During 7 days. Outcome measure will be collected at baseline and at the end of the intervention (up to 24 weeks)

  2. Change in sitting time

    Number of minutes spent in a sitting position with ActivPal monitor.

    Measured: During 7 days. Outcome measure will be collected at baseline and at the end of the intervention (up to 24 weeks).

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Change in health-related quality of life

    EuroQoL - 5D

    Measured: Outcome measure will be collected at baseline and at the end of the intervention (up to 24 weeks).

  2. Physical Function

    Short Physical Performance Battery

    Measured: Outcome measure will be collected at baseline and at the end of the intervention (up to 24 weeks).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Co-created intervention - Get Ready (GR) in people with Physical Activity and Sedentary Behaviour, run by Glasgow Caledonian University at 1 site in United Kingdom.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 27 Jan 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United Kingdom. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Change in minutes spent in sedentary behaviour (time frame: During 7 days. Outcome measure will be collected at baseline and at the end of the intervention (up to 24 weeks)). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03505385, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?
