A Tablet-based Simple Walking Intervention

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Arthritis, Fatigue

In brief

The purpose of this project is to pilot test the effect of a tablet-based cognitive behavioral intervention (Tab-CBI) application on older adults' a) daily steps, b) fatigue level, c) self-efficacy, and d) quality of life at Week 1 (baseline), Week 4 (intervention completion), Week 6 (booster), Week 8 (follow-up #1), and Week 10 (follow-up #2) in a sample of 24 older adults. The investigators hypothesize that (a) individuals receiving Tab-CBI will have increased daily step counts, decreased fatigue level, greater perception of self-efficacy and quality of life than those receiving current RA fatigue management, and that (b) the effects will be sustained up through 4 weeks of follow-ups after the intervention completion.
