Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (6)

• Quality of life (World Health Organization)

  Conducting pre- and post-test of WHOQOL-BREF. The brief, Chinese version of the World Health Organization's quality of life scale (WHOQOL-BREF) has our domains: physical health, psychological health, social relationships, and environment. A 5-point response scale is used in the scale. Higher scores indicate higher quality of life. WHOQOL-BREF has good validity and reliability.

  T0 (baseline), T1 (6 months), T2 (12 months)

• Happiness

  Conducting pre- and post-test of Subjective Happiness Scale (SHS). The Subjective Happiness Scale's Chinese adaptation (SHS) consists of 4 items to measure individual levels of subjective happiness. It features 4 questions, each evaluated on a 7-point Likert scale, where a higher score signifies a higher degree of subjective happiness

  T0 (baseline), T1 (6 months), T2 (12 months)

• Activities of daily living

  Conducting pre- and post-test of Activities of Daily Living Questionnaire (ADLQ). The activities of daily living questionnaire (ADLQ) will be measured by the Barthel Index, which consists of 10 items of ADL, including mobility and self-care ability. It refers to the basic self-care tasks that individuals perform daily to maintain their overall well-being and take care of themselves; the activities include eating, grooming, bathing, and dressing.

The Chinese adoption of the 5-item physical activity questionnaire will be used to assess the physical activity levels of the participants. This questionnaire uses a 5-point Likert scale to assess five items: frequency, duration, intensity, overall length, and type of activities the participants perform during their spare times. The test-retest reliability of this questionnaire is between 0.61 and 0.91, indicating its usefulness.

The total scores for pain severity (four items) range from 0 to 10, with higher scores indicating more severe pain. This scale demonstrated good reliability, with coefficient alphas greater than 0.70
