Background: The person-centred remote intervention PROTECT (based on the cornerstones described by Ekman et al) has shown to be meaningful and to impact short term self-efficacy (3 month-follow up). However, at the 6 month-follow the effect was no longer significant. To better understand program outcomes and bridging the knowledge gap on intervention use in remote person-centred interventions the aim was to describe to what extent activities in the PROTECT intervention was used over time and to explore the association between intervention use and program outcome(s). Methods: An explorative study was performed as part of the process evaluation of a randomized controlled trial. Intervention-group participants (n=110) and staff (n=5) were included. Data on program outcomes were collected at baseline, and at the 3- and 6-months follow ups. Moreover, data on intervention use and time using the intervention were collected. Imputations were performed for missing data to avoid underestimation of time use. Analysis is ongoing. Descriptive statistics and regression analysis will be performed. Results: Preliminary findings show that most patients interacted with staff throughout the 6-month intervention, with a peak in contacts during the first intervention month. The association between intervention use and program outcome(s) as well as time using/performing the intervention will be presented. Conclusion: Patients’ and staff’s time use are requested but seldom reported in detail in process-evaluations. To our knowledge, this is the first study to report on remote person-centred intervention activities and time spent on remote person-centred care. The mapping of resource use among both patients and professionals contributes a unique perspective which provides insights for future health economic evaluations of remote interventions. Moreover, the result is expected to contribute to the discussion of how much interaction is needed to reach the intended intervention effect.

Filipa Ventura Moderator

Junior Researcher
Nursing School of Coimbra, Coimbra, Portugal

Filipa Ventura has a clinical background in oncology nursing and earned a PhD in Health Care Sciences by the Sahlgrenska Academy (2016). Filipa worked both as a general nurse and an oncology nurse, in Portugal and in Sweden, for about seven years.
She is the principal investigator of one project, regional coordinator of an international research work and collaborates as an investigator in various projects.
In the domain of health care sciences, Filipa carries out research to support the person undergoing cancer treatment in illness assessment and management grounded on person-centred care principles and through eHealth.
From the methodological point of view, she is interested on research methods that allow exploring complex eHealth interventions, particularly pragmatic trials, mixed methods and interpretive description.

Emmelie Barenfeld Rapportör

Researcher, Reg. OT
University of Gothenburg

I am employed as a lecturer at the occupational therapy program at University of Gothenburg. I work in various research projects affiliated to the Center for Person-Centred Care (GPCC), as well as in projects affiliated to the Center for Aging and Health (AgeCap).

Research area:
My focus as a researcher lies on how the transition to a more person-centred care can be supported through various interventions. I apply an occupational science perspective in the research. Ongoing research projects evaluate person-centered interventions from a patient perspective as well as educational interventions to support the implementation of person-centered approaches among staff and managers/leaders. The research projects are conducted in different contexts and in collaboration with patients, staff and leaders.
