Feasibility study of the internet-based intervention 'Strategies for Empowering activities in Everyday life' (SEE 2.0) for use by people with chronic diseases and long-term disorders in healthcare: a study protocol.

introductionProactive and easily accessible interventions are needed to support people with long-term health conditions who experience limitations in activities of everyday life. However, there is a lack of interventions that promote self-management skills that prevent deterioration and improve health. The internet-based programme 'Strategies for Empowering Activities in Everyday Life' (SEE) supports people with long-term health conditions in developing self-management skills through knowledge, self-analysis and management strategies, promoting active and healthy daily life. This study protocol aims to evaluate the feasibility of SEE 2.0 and the study design. METHODS AND ANALYSIS: This feasibility study employs a pretest and post-test design with no control group, embedded within a mixed-method approach. The participants will include 30-40 clients, occupational therapists and managers involved in delivering SEE 2.0 in primary healthcare and hospital-based services. Data will be collected through assessments and forms at baseline, 4 months and 12 months after inclusion. Additionally, qualitative methods will be used to enhance the understanding of participants' experiences. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: The study was approved by the Swedish Ethical Review Authority. The results will inform the refinement of SEE 2.0 and guide decisions on whether to proceed with planning a full-scale evaluation to assess the intervention's effect. The results will be published in peer-reviewed scientific journals on websites and presented at conferences and seminars to reach various user groups. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: NCT06484322.
