Detailed Description
Eighty percent of older adult Americans live with at least one chronic disease and 70% manage two or more. Chronic diseases pose significant health and economic costs to individual older adults, burden families due to increased care dependency, and cause substantial strain on the healthcare system. Older adults residing in rural and non-urban communities in particular face additional health disparities due to lack of access or fewer options for health care services and providers. As one solution, telehealth can increase ease and access to health care services, deliver quality outcomes and comparable levels of satisfaction, and reduce costs for both the patient and the health care system. This quantitative pilot study will use a quasi-experimental approach with a single-group, pretest-posttest design to evaluate the effects of the Holistic Occupational Performance Empowerment (HOPE) lifestyle program to promote health-related quality of life and occupational performance of community-dwelling older adults.
Investigators anticipate recruiting 12 to 15 English-speaking, independent community-dwelling adults 65 years or older living in non-urban communities within 40 miles of Great Falls, Montana or Oregon City, Oregon. The participants will receive 1 goal-setting session in-person, 6 training sessions via telehealth, and 1 post-intervention debriefing session in-person across 8 weeks; each session will be 45-60 minutes. Each week will comprise one or more lifestyle topics that are based on the twelve modules described in the Lifestyle Redesign®️ manual. The sessions involve an introduction to a lifestyle topic with the investigator providing verbal and visual education, collaborative discussion and reflection, review of a participant's self-identified goals, recommendations and homework, and scheduling of the session for the subsequent week. By addressing health disparities and expanding access, occupational therapists will be more intentional in their delivery of telehealth lifestyle interventions and contribute to chronic disease prevention and reduction.

---|---|
Experimental: the Holistic Occupational Performance Empowerment (HOPE) Lifestyle Program
The intervention will consist of six individualized sessions that will be conducted via a telehealth platform, each lasting about 45-60 minutes.
Individual sessions allow for the participant's personal health factors to be discussed and reflected upon as the intervention is delivered weekly.
Each week will comprise one or more lifestyle topics that are based on the twelve modules described in the Lifestyle Redesign® manual (Clark et al., 2015).
|
The intervention is comprised of the following sessions and themes; Session 1: Informed Consent and Pre-Testing; Session 2: Occupation and Healthy Aging; Session 3: Longevity and Thriving; Session 4: Movement Matters; Session 5: Thoughtful Eating; Session 6: Stress and Sleep; Session 7: Navigating Health Care; Session 8: Post-Testing and Discharge.

Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Change Scores of 20-Item Short Form Survey
Time Frame: 2 Times; 1 Week Pre-Intervention; 1 Week Post-Intervention
|
The 20-Item Short Form Survey (SF-20) is a shortened form of the original 36-item questionnaire created for the Medical Outcomes Study.
The SF-20 utilizes close-ended, Likert-type questions to address self-reported health-related quality of life within six domains: physical functioning, role functioning, social functioning, mental health, current health perceptions, and pain.
Raw scores from the 20 items are transformed linearly into 0-100 scales for each of the six domains.
Higher scores indicate better physical, role, and social functioning, better mental health and health perceptions, and more pain.
|
2 Times; 1 Week Pre-Intervention; 1 Week Post-Intervention
|
Change Scores of Goal Attainment Scaling
Time Frame: 2 Times; 1 Week Pre-Intervention; 1 Week Post-Intervention
|
Goal attainment scaling (GAS) is a method of scoring the extent to which a participant's individualized goals are achieved over the course of an intervention.
The participants will be asked to identify three occupation-based, lifestyle-focused SMART (specific, measurable, attainable, realistic, and timely) goals.
Goals are weighted based on the participant's rating of importance and level of difficulty on a scale of 0 to 3 where higher scores indicate greater importance and greater difficulty, respectively.
Each goal is also rated on a 5-point scale capturing a degree of attainment, the expected outcome at pre-intervention, and the achieved outcome at post-intervention.
Scores can range from -2 to +2 where a median score of 0 indicates goals were achieved as expected, negative scores indicate goals with worse than expected outcomes, and positive scores indicate goals with better than expected outcomes.

2 Times; 1 Week Pre-Intervention; 1 Week Post-Intervention

The Short Assessment of Health Literacy-English (SAHL-E)
Time Frame: 1 Week Pre-Intervention
|
The Short Assessment of Health Literacy-English (SAHL-E) is an 18-item test designed to help health professionals assess the ability of English-speaking adults to read and understand common medical terms.
Participants score between 0 and 18 points with higher scores indicating better health literacy.
Scores of 14 or below indicate low health literacy.
