Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

• The Satisfaction with Daily Occupation (SDO-13)

  Measures change in satisfaction of daily occupations through a structured interview with 13 questions within areas such as work/studies, leisure, home and self-care occupations. Satisfaction with occupations is measured on an ordinal scale with a score ranging from 0-7. The total rating range between 13-91. Higher score indicates a higher satisfaction with daily occupations.

  Change from baseline to four- and twelve months post-base line

• Occupational Balance Questionnaire (OBQ)

  Measures change in perceived occupational balance; occupational balance reflects a person's subjective perception of having the right amount of- and the right variation between activities. The OBQ consist of 11 items rated on a four-point ordinal scale, scored 0 to 3. A total score may range between 0 and 33 where a higher score implies a higher sense of occupational balance.

  Change from baseline to four- and twelve months post-base line

• Occupational values with pre-defined items (Oval-pd).

  Measures change in occupational values which reflects the subjective perception of concrete, symbolic or self-rewarding values in activities. The Oval-pd consists of 18 items rated on a four-point ordinal scale, scored 1 to 4. The responses add up to a total score between 18-72, a higher score indicates higher occupational value in the activities of everyday life.

  Change from baseline to four- and twelve months post-base line

Secondary Outcomes (7)

• Life satisfaction questionnaire (Lisat-11)

  Change from baseline to four- and twelve months post-base line

• Work ability index (WAI)

  Change from baseline to four- and twelve months post-base line

• RAND-36

  Change from baseline to four- and twelve months post-base line

• General Self-Efficacy (GSE-10)

  Change from baseline to four- and twelve months post-base line

• Mental Fatigue Scale (MFS)

  Change from baseline to four- and twelve months post-base line

Other Outcomes (5)

• The experience of people with chronic conditions participating in the intervention process of SEE.

  Repeated interviews during the intervention process, one- and four months post-baseline

• The acceptability and value of SEE from the perspective of the clients.

  Four months post-baseline

• The adherence to SEE.

  Through intervention completion, an average of 1 year

The group will receive the internet-based intervention 'SEE' focusing on supporting self-management of activities in everyday life to promote health. Beside SEE, they will also receive care as usual.

Behavioral: Strategies Empowering Activities in Everyday life (SEE 2.0)

Interventions

Strategies Empowering Activities in Everyday life (SEE 2.0) BEHAVIORAL

SEEs internet-based intervention process begins with supporting the client to explore the need of and readiness for changes in everyday life. Thereafter, the client is supported to self-analyse their engagement in activities in everyday life along with use of management strategies in everyday life. Next, the client takes on web- modules including short educational movies with subsequent analyses and reflections. The modules aim to support the development of self-management by improving the knowledge of how strategies and changes in daily activities can prevent disabilities and contribute to improved health. After that, the focus is on establishing an activity plan with goals and activity-based management strategies to promote an active everyday life. The clients' implementation of the plan is supported through follow-up meetings. During the whole intervention process, the client is regularly supported by an occupational therapist through feedback and online guiding dialogues.
