简要总结
Objectives:
This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the "Jockey Club E-Generation: Impact Extension Project for Chronic Knee Pain Management", with a view to developing sustainable strategies of self-management on chronic conditions integrating with tele-rehabilitation technology.
Study design and participants:
An evaluation study adopting a randomized controlled trial design, with waitlist attention control will be conducted in Elderly community centres of Hong Kong Sheng Kung Hui Welfare Council and Christian Family Service Centre (CFSC) in Hong Kong. The proposed sample size is 858 participants, which is a convenience sample from the service user of the "Jockey Club E-Generation: Impact Extension Project for Chronic Knee Pain Management". At least 15 participants will be invited for qualitative interview.
Participants will be randomized to the intervention group or the waitlist attention control group in 1:1 ratio using block randomization with random block size of 4, 6 and 8, stratified by each centre and severity of condition. A researcher independent to the project will generate the randomization sequence by computer and keep the list. Participants in the intervention group (known as Group A to the participants) will start the 12-week intervention immediately, whereas the waitlist attention control (know as Group B to the participants) will start the intervention after 12 weeks. During the waiting period, waitlist control receives attention control.
Measurements:
The primary outcome of this study is quality of life. It will be measured by the Hong Kong Chinese version of World Health Organization Quality-of-Life Scale (WHOQOL-BREF).
The secondary outcomes are pain, physical functioning, emotional functioning, adherence rate, satisfaction score, rate of adverse events in relation to the intervention, and cost-effectiveness of the intervention.
Expected results:
The improvement in health-related quality of life of older adults is larger in the intervention group as compared to the control group; The relief in knee pain of older adults is larger in the intervention group as compared to the control group; The improvement in physical functioning of older adults is larger in the intervention group as compared to the control group; The improvement in emotional functioning of older adults is larger in the intervention group as compared to the control group.

结局指标
主要结局
Change from baseline quality of life at 12 weeks.
时间窗: 12 weeks after baseline.
Measured by the Hong Kong Chinese version of World Health Organization Quality-of-Life Scale (WHOQOL-BREF). Scoring based on a rule set by the World Health Organization and converted to a score between 4 and 20 for all domains, with the higher the score, the better the quality of life.
