Malnutrition Clinical Trial
Official title:
Exploring the Feasibility of a Digital Service to Improve Nutrition and Hydration Status of Older Adults: a Mixed-methods Study
Trial Design: This is a feasibility randomised controlled trial. Aim: The study aims to assess the feasibility of conducting a randomised controlled trial using a digital health tool (Keep-On-Keep-Up Nutrition, KOKU-Nut) to improve dietary intake in community-dwelling older adults. Objectives: 1. Is it feasible and practical to run KOKU-Nut study as a powered randomised controlled trial. 2. Adherence to the intervention, motivations, barriers and facilitators of engaging with KOKU-Nut Study population: Community-dwelling adults aged 65 and older Intervention: Participants in the intervention group will be asked to engage with KOKU-Nut at least 3 times a week throughout the 12-week period. A crib sheet and contact details for the research team will be available if participants require additional support to help with technical issues. Control: Participants will continue with usual care and receive a leaflet developed by Age UK about the importance of a healthy lifestyle. Timing and duration 3 month intervention with interviews carried out approximately one week after the intervention period
Background: Dietary patterns can play an important role in health in older age. Apps that encourage dietary change are available and commonly used in younger populations, however; few are designed for the nutritional and technical requirements of older adults. Keep-On-Keep-Up Nutrition (KOKU-Nut) is the latest development of the digital tool and includes nutritional games based on the Eatwell guide to nudge older adults to improve their diet with a specific focus on protein, fibre and fluid. The innovation process has brought together researchers, clinicians, software designers and older users to co-develop the digital tool. In this study, researchers will test the practicality of KOKU-Nut as an intervention before further larger studies are conducted to assess it's effectiveness. The aim of this study is to assess the feasibility of conducting a randomised controlled trial using this digital health tool (KOKU-Nut) to improve dietary intake in community-dwelling older adults. Participants will be randomised to receive usual care and an information booklet about living a healthy lifestyle or to the intervention group and asked to engage with KOKU-Nut 3 times a week for 12 weeks. ;
