简要总结
The social distancing requirements for COVID-19 coupled with the adverse health impacts of social isolation and decreased access to healthcare in rural areas places older adults with disabilities in a dire situation. The smart sensor system to be deployed and studied in this project aims to reduce disability for rural community-dwelling older adults and improve health-related quality of life, including depression and anxiety. An implementation guide will be developed to increase success of future scale-up evaluations.
详细描述
Over 85% of Missouri is rural and individuals in these rural areas are older and have reduced access to regular healthcare as compared to individuals living in urban areas of Missouri. Those with disabilities, particularly older adults, are at higher risk for contracting COVID-19. There is a critical need to reduce disability and improve quality of life for community-dwelling older adults with disabilities for successful aging-in-place during the COVID-19 pandemic. The investigators have developed, with our partner company Foresite Healthcare, a proven sensor-based technology solution for monitoring health-related behaviors in the home. In a multi-site randomized controlled trial, the investigators demonstrated that the sensor system with nursing care coordination prevents declines in function for older adults living in assisted living facilities. The long-term goal of this research is to support independent living for older adults with disabilities for as long as possible. The purpose of this project is to deploy the sensor system in the homes of rural community-dwelling older adults with disabilities and evaluate the effect of the sensor system on reducing disability and improving health-related quality of life. Using a two-arm randomized controlled trial, the sensor system will be installed in the homes of 64 older adults. Participants randomized to Study Arm 1 will receive a multidisciplinary (nursing, occupational therapy, and social work) self-management intervention paired with the sensor system. This intervention is based on the 5As self-management approach and is a direct translation of the nursing care coordination in our prior research. Participants randomized to Study Arm 2 will have standard health education paired with the sensor system. An implementation guide for future use with different partner agencies will be developed using individual and setting level data collected from Aims 1, 2 and 3 using the RE-AIM framework. The project will be accomplished in three aims. In Aim 1, the investigators will evaluate the effect of a sensor system paired with a multidisciplinary self-management intervention as compared to the sensor system paired with standard health education care on disability and health-related quality of life after 1 year. In Aim 2, the investigators will evaluate the effect of the sensor system on secondary health outcomes (depression, anxiety, occupational performance, and caregiver burden), rates of falls, and healthcare usage. In Aim 3, the investigators will collect individual participant data for satisfaction and adoption and stakeholder data about organizational setting. Data from Aims 1, 2 and 3 will be analyzed using RE-AIM to produce implementation guidance contextualized by organizational setting. For older adults with disabilities living in rural areas, the sensor system has the potential to change the approach to healthcare and disability management.

研究组 & 干预措施
Self Management
The 5A's Behavior Change Mode [39] is the framework for the self-management intervention. The five "A"s will be addressed through the integration of the self-management intervention and the sensor system. There will be a minimum of four intervention sessions with each healthcare profession (OT, RN, and SW) for 12 visits per participant.
干预措施: Self Management (Behavioral)
Health Education
Participant's randomized to the standard health education arm will receive the intervention at Month 1 and then months 3, 6, 9 and 12.
干预措施: Standard Health Education (Behavioral)

Change in Katz ADL Index
时间窗: 1 year
The Katz Index of Independence in Activities of Daily Living, commonly referred to as the Katz ADL, assesses functional status as a measurement of the client's ability to perform activities of daily living independently. The Index ranks adequacy of performance in the six functions of bathing, dressing, toileting, transferring, continence, and feeding. Clients are scored yes/no for independence in each of the six functions. A score of 6 indicates full function, 4 indicates moderate impairment, and 2 or less indicates severe functional impairment. This scale ranges from 0 to 6. This measure is the calculated change in score from baseline to post-intervention.
Change in PROMIS-43
时间窗: 1 year
PROMIS® (Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System) is a set of person-centered measures that evaluates and monitors physical, mental, and social health in adults and children. The PROMIS-43 is a collection of 6-item short forms assessing anxiety, depression, fatigue, pain interference, physical function, sleep disturbance, and ability to participate in social roles and activities as well as a single pain intensity item. Each short form is scored as a T-score, with a score of 50 being average. This scale is 0 to 100. Higher scores indicate more (anxiety, depression, etc) and lower scores indicate less. This measure is the change in the T-score from baseline to post-intervention. A positive change in T-score is different for each sub-domain. Each will be indicated below in the row title.
