Overview
Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine whether is is feasible and acceptable to deliver a telephone based coaching intervention compared with education alone in community dwelling older adults (age 60 and older) after a fall related hip fracture.
Detailed Description
The investigators propose a randomized controlled trial design to inform the development of a larger scale study to test effectiveness of a clinician supported telephonic self management intervention for older adults after hip fracture. The primary aim is to determine feasibility and acceptability of the intervention, and the secondary aim is to measure statistical trends on quality of life at 4 months after fracture in community dwelling older adults. In parallel, we will conduct a process evaluation to ascertain key features of the intervention via qualitative interviews of participants and health care professionals involved in delivery of the intervention.
