Clinical Trial Summary

Reablement holds a potential to become a new rehabilitation model and has been implemented in some western countries including Norway and Denmark. At present, there is a lack of scientific evidence for the effectiveness of reablement and lack of an explicit theoretical underpinning, leading to a gap in knowledge. Trends show, however, that reablement is beneficial for the person and their significant others, increasing quality of life. There is a need for further investigation of the effects among community-dwelling adults in terms of clinical and economic outcomes. This research project will investigate the effectiveness of reablement including smart products (digitally based) (ASSIST) to facilitate and manage reablement services in home-dwelling adults compared with standard home help services in terms of daily activities, physical functioning, health-related quality of life, coping, mental health, use of health care services, and costs.

Methods and analysis: This feasibility study will evaluate the perceived value and acceptability of ASSIST 1.0 intervention program as the fidelity, reach and dose, and potential outcomes by using a pre-post test design involving an intervention group and a control group (n=30). All participants will be living at home and with a need of home care services. Qualitative interviews among home care providers delivering ASSIST and older adults and their significant others receiving the intervention will be conducted to explore aspects affecting the intervention.

Ethics and dissemination: The results will form the base for refinement of the "ASSIST" program and planning of a large-scale randomized, controlled trial investigating the effect of the program on quality of life as physical health, mental well-being, conditions for social community when focusing on supporting the older person's to meaningful everyday life. Dissemination will include peer-reviewed publications and presentations at national and international conferences.
