Background: Remote interventions are needed in promoting health among people with chronic conditions. If and how remote person-centred interventions contribute to meaningful use in promotion of health are unexplored areas. Therefore, the aim was to explore patients’ experiences of the person-centred intervention PROTECT (provided via telephone and a digital platform) and to identify predictors for meaningful use. Method: The PROTECT study, a randomised controlled trial was developed together with people diagnosed with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) or chronic heart failure (CHF). During the 6-month intervention period, the participants created a personal health plan together with an occupational therapist, physiotherapist or registered nurse. Mixed methods were used in data collection and analysis. Demographic data, ratings and written comments on meaningful and non-meaningful use were collected from 86 participants, of whom 12 were also interviewed. Each data source was analysed separately by descriptive statistics, logistic regression, or content analysis, and thereafter synthesised during the interpretation phase. Results: The results of this study which is published (1) showed that participants mostly rated the intervention as meaningful to use, particularly the telephone support. Two categories: Benefits in everyday life and A personal boost explained meaningful use whereas the categories Not in need and Communication deficiency provided insight on non-meaningful use. The findings also identified predictors of meaningful use of intervention functions such as direct messaging, access to professional support, and symptom ratings in relation to participant demographics. Conclusion: Most participants experienced the intervention as meaningful to use, while it tended to be more meaningful to those diagnosed with COPD. When used by participants, the intervention was appreciated and deemed easily applicable to supporting health promoting actions in a person-centred manner. Shortcomings in the digital platform’s implementation negatively influenced experiences of meaningful use.
