Objectives: To determine the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of a brief communication skills e-learning package on empathy optimism for practitioners consulting with adult primary care patients presenting musculoskeletal (MSK) pain. Design: A cluster randomised controlled trial from 31/10/22 to 28/6/24 using computer-generated block randomisation allocated general practices intervention or usual control (1:1) stratified by practice size deprivation. Patients, statisticians,...
Objectives: To examine primary care practitioners experiences and use of EMPathicO e-learning to enhance communication clinical empathy realistic optimism. Design: Mixed methods evaluation incorporating thematic analysis qualitative interviews quantitative usage patterns practitioner survey data. Setting: Cluster randomised controlled trial in general practices England Wales. Participants: Primary allocated the intervention arm. Analysis: Thematic data explored undertaking implementing...
By 2050, worldwide dementia prevalence is expected to triple. Affordable, scalable interventions are required support protective behaviours such as physical activity, cognitive training and healthy eating. This paper outlines the theory-, evidence- person-based development of 'Active Brains': a multi-domain digital behaviour change intervention reduce decline amongst older adults.During initial planning phase, scoping reviews, consultation with PPI contributors expert co-investigators...
Introduction Effective communication can help optimise healthcare interactions and patient outcomes. However, few interventions have been tested clinically, subjected to cost-effectiveness analysis or are sufficiently brief well-described for implementation in primary care. This paper presents the protocol determining effectiveness of a rigorously developed eLearning tool, EMPathicO, among patients with without musculoskeletal pain. Methods A cluster randomised controlled trial general...
Purpose : This study explored participant views of a web-based physical activity intervention for older adults and examined how they resonate with the key principles that guided development. Methods Qualitative interviews were carried out 52 adults. A deductive qualitative analysis approach was taken, based around intervention’s principles. Results Participants expressed mostly positive features, broadly confirming appropriateness principles, which to: (a) encourage intrinsic motivation...
Background Many cancer survivors following primary treatment have prolonged poor quality of life. Aim To determine the effectiveness a bespoke digital intervention to support survivors. Design and setting This was pragmatic parallel open randomised trial in UK general practices (ISRCTN:96374224). Method People having finished (≤10 years previously) for colorectal, breast, or prostate cancers, with European Organization Research Treatment Cancer Core Quality Life Questionnaire (EORTC QLQ-C30)...
Increasing physical activity, improving diet, and performing brain training exercises are associated with reduced cognitive decline in older adults.In this paper, we describe a feasibility trial of the Active Brains intervention, web-based digital intervention developed to support adults make these 3 healthy behavior changes improved health. The is randomized that will test how accessible, acceptable, feasible effectiveness study procedures intend use larger, main trial.In controlled (RCT),...
Abstract Background By 2050 worldwide dementia prevalence is expected to triple, rising 152 million. Affordable, scalable interventions are required support protective behaviours such as physical activity, cognitive training and healthy eating. This paper outlines the development of ‘Active Brains’: a multi-domain digital behaviour change intervention reduce decline amongst older adults, key findings arising from this process. Methods A theory-, evidence- person-based approach was...
Introduction Multidomain interventions to address modifiable risk factors for dementia are promising, but require more cost-effective, scalable delivery. This study investigated the feasibility of “Active Brains” digital behavior change intervention and its trial procedures. Materials methods Active Brains aims reduce cognitive decline by promoting physical activity, healthy eating, online training. We conducted 12-month parallel-design randomized controlled trials amongst “lower scoring” (...
