Abstract

Background:

Health promotion interventions supporting the development of strategies for social participation when ageing is an important concern within occupational therapy. Therefore, a new intervention has been developed.

Aim:

To present a protocol for a feasibility study evaluating the feasibility of Health Web 1.0, a web-based occupational therapy group intervention supporting older adults' social participation and meaningful activities in daily life.

Material And Methods:

This feasibility study follows the framework for developing and evaluating complex interventions. This study will be conducted using a pre-test and posttest design without a control group to evaluate feasibility and potential results. Qualitative and quantitative data will be collected concurrently in a mixed-method design. The Health Web 1.0 will be conducted in municipal primary healthcare settings. The intervention is provided through a digital communication platform, delivered by occupational therapists.

Results:

Not applicable (N/A).

Conclusions And Significance:

The intervention will have significance for occupational therapists to adapt to a more proactive role in supporting a meaningful everyday life when ageing. Additionally, the group format and digital delivery of the intervention will provide possibilities to use resources more effectively.

Keywords:

Complex interventions digitalization meaningful activities social participation

It states that a person is considered healthy in the absence of physical disease and the presence of good emotional health.
The agent-host-environment model states that disease results...

Models of Health Promotion and Illness Prevention I

A model is a theoretical way to understand a concept or an idea. Models can overcome barriers to health regardless of diverse economic and cultural backgrounds. In addition, models make the task easier by providing different ways to approach complex issues. There are two major health promotion models: the health belief model and the health promotion model.
The health belief model (HBM) attempts to predict health-related behavior in specific belief patterns. According to the HBM, a person's...
