Registry summary
The goal of this study is to continue to develop, implement, and evaluate a unique reablement service, ASSIST 2.0. The project will determine the differences in the reablement service (ASSIST 2.0) compared to regular home care in terms of older adults' performance in daily activities, self-efficacy, perceived health, quality of life, frailty and perceived person-centered approach.
The research question is: Can older adults receiving ASSIST 2.0 improve their performance and satisfaction in daily life activities, experience a higher level of self-efficacy, perceived health, quality of life and a person-centered approach?
The ASSIST project involves older adults receiving home care, home care assistants, occupational and physical therapists. ASSIST 2.0 reablement consists of the following components:
- an intervention aimed at older adults to help them perform daily activities they need and want to do. This will be achieved through optimal support from home care staff,
- an on-line education provided by the researchers for all staff in the art and science of reablement,
- training and support through mentorship and coaching provided by occupational and physical therapists for home care staff to ensure the proper delivery of reablement.
