ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND:

There is a critical need to improve quality of life for community-dwelling older adults with disabilities. Prior research has demonstrated that a smart, in-home sensor system can facilitate aging in place for older adults living in independent living apartments with care coordination support by identifying early illness and injury detection. Self-management approaches have shown positive outcomes for many client populations. Pairing the smart, in-home sensor system with a self-management intervention for community-dwelling older adults with disabilities may lead to positive outcomes.

METHODS:

This study is a prospective, two-arm, randomized, pragmatic clinical trial to compare the effect of a technology-supported self-management intervention on disability and health-related quality of life to that of a health education control, for rural, community-dwelling older adults. Individuals randomized to the self-management study arm will receive a multidisciplinary (nursing, occupational therapist, and social work) self-management approach coupled with the smart-home sensor system. Individuals randomized to the health education study arm will receive standard health education coupled with the smart-home sensor system. The primary outcomes of disability and health-related quality of life will be assessed at baseline and post-intervention. Generalizable guidance to scale the technology-supported self-management intervention will be developed from qualitatively developed exemplar cases.

CONCLUSION:

This study has the potential to impact the health and well-being of rural, community-dwelling older adults with disabilities. We have overcome barriers including recruitment in a rural population and supply chain issues for the sensor system. Our team remains on track to meet our study aims.
