About this study
The goal of this feasibility study is to evaluate the design, content and delivery of Health Web 1.0, a web-based occupational therapy group intervention supporting older adults' social participation and meaningful activities in daily life.
More specifically, this feasibility study aims to:
Read more
- Determine the acceptability and adherence of the Health Web among older adults and occupational therapists.
- Determine the perceived values, benefits, harms and unintended consequences of the Health Web among older adults.
- Explore changes experienced by older adults and the potential outcomes of social participation and meaningful activities in daily life.
The participants will be invited to participate in a web-based group intervention including thematic sessions over a period of seven weeks.
Read the detailed description
The demographic changes associated with a growing ageing population worldwide imply a need for a shift in the health and social care system and a need for new innovations and interventions to support active and healthy ageing. Important aspects of healthy ageing, emphasized by the World Health Organization (WHO), are possibilities for social participation and the ability to create and maintain social relationships. In Sweden, there is an ongoing transition in the health care system towards personalized and integrated care, in which people are encouraged to take greater responsibility for their health. Additionally, digital solutions have been identified as an opportunity to offer new interventions to meet the needs of this transition. For professionals such as occupational therapists, this implies a need to increase the use of new digital interventions that address healthy ageing and support social participation. According to occupational therapy research, digital technology has the potential to support older adults' social participation and reduce experiences of loneliness. Thus, developing health promotion interventions that support the development of strategies for social participation when ageing is an important concern within occupational therapy. To address this background, a web-based occupational therapy group intervention, the Health Web, has been developed, with a focus on strategies for social participation and meaningful activities in daily life to support healthy ageing.
This feasibility study will be conducted using a pretest and posttest design without a control group to evaluate feasibility and potential results. Qualitative and quantitative data will be collected concurrently in a convergent mixed-method design. The combination of data provides enables a comprehensive evaluation of feasibility. Health Web 1.0 is a health promoting intervention targeting older adults 65+ and is delivered by Occupational Therapists in municipality primary healthcare settings in northern Sweden. This feasibility study provides important information to further evaluate and refine the intervention programme prior to larger-scale testing.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Health Web 1.0Behavioural
The Health Web intervention will be delivered by an Occupational therapist (OT) via a digital communication platform. The intervention includes two introduction sessions, five theme sessions and a follow-up session. Each theme session includes a short educational video followed by a reflection assignment and a group meeting. The intervention aims to support older adults in becoming aware of, reflecting on, using and developing strategies for social participation and meaningful activities in daily life.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| The older adults will receive the Health Web intervention provided by an Occupational therapist | Experimental | Not described Receives: Behavioral: Health Web 1.0 |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Occupational Balance Questionnaire (OBQ)
The OBQ consists of 11 items that are graded on a 4-point ordinal scale from 0-3; these items range from "completely" disagree to "completely" agree and are summed to a total score ranging between 0 and 33. A higher score implies more satisfaction with the amount and variation of occupations, i.e., a higher level of occupational balance. Used to capture the satisfaction with, and the variation in daily activities.
Measured: The outcome measure is completed within 2 weeks before the intervention is initiated, within 2 weeks after the intervention is completed and 3 months after the intervention is completed.
