Objective:
To develop SSC program for promoting the independence of disabled elderly in Activities of Daily Living (ADL) care in nursing homes.
Methods:
This intervention aligns with the Medical Research Council (MRC) Framework for complex interventions. The following three steps were undertaken: (1) identifying the evidence base; (2) identifying/developing theory; (3) modeling processes and outcomes.
Results:
We successfully developed the complex intervention program of self-supporting care (SSC). The program comprises two integral parts: (1) self-supporting care interventions (SSC-i); (2) self-supporting care implementation interventions (SSC-ii).
Conclusions:
Through adherence to the MRC framework, an evidence-based SSC program for managing ADL among disabled elderly individuals in nursing homes was developed. These findings offer a detailed specification of the SSC intervention protocol, which can serve as a valuable resource for healthcare professionals and researchers in subsequent phases, particularly in pilot testing the efficacy of the intervention and promote independence among disabled elderly individuals.
