简要总结
People who have long-term conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, arthritis etc. face challenges in staying active and able to participate in activities that are important to them. There is some research that suggests that a care model that focuses on physical functioning and helping patients to manage their own conditions will assist them to stay active and healthy longer. In this project, the investigators are testing whether physiotherapy and occupational therapy offered to groups of patients and information about rehabilitation offered to other members of the health care team can help people with chronic conditions to maintain their physical abilities.
详细描述
Participants older than 44, with at least one chronic disease, (n=60) will participate in a before-and-after study integrating a population based, rehabilitation-focused program targeting physical function into a Family Health Team. The program, delivered by a Physiotherapist and Occupational Therapist, will consist of comprehensive functional assessments and individualized self-management care plans; a rehabilitation based chronic disease self-management program; and on-line self-monitoring of physical function. Process and outcome measures will be administered at baseline and 4 months follow-up.

结局指标
主要结局
Physical Functioning Inventory (PFI)
时间窗: 4 months
The PFI is used to assess physical functioning in older adults. It contains 21 tasks from 4 subscales: activities of daily living, instrumental activities of daily living, mobility, moderate activities. A series of questions is used to determine whether the person experiences difficulty in completing a task, the level of difficulty they experience, and any changes to the method and/or frequency of task performance. The PFI is sensitive to steps in the natural history of functional decline that are often not assessed clinically. Range of scores: 0 (most difficulty); 100 (least difficulty).
