ASSIST 1.0 an Intervention Program Addressing Reablement Services

Status Completed

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.

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
