Objectives: To evaluate the clinical relevance of the programme and to better understand which intervention outcomes/health‐related self‐report measures are most sensitive to reflect changes between pre‐ and post‐intervention assessments. Design: This study followed a pre‐post quasi‐experimental design. Participants: Twenty‐six individuals (16 people on haemodialysis and 10 family caregivers) completed the intervention. Measurements: Participants filled out a web‐based assessment protocol before and after the intervention. To determine the clinical relevance of within‐group pre‐post changes, effect sizes, minimal clinically important differences, and reliable change indexes were calculated. Results: Clinically meaningful results were found on outcome measures with reasonable sensitivity to detect pre‐post changes in the positive affect dimension of subjective well‐being, purpose in life, overall quality of life, and psychological health. The latter was the variable that obtained the greatest number of respondents with reliable post‐intervention improvements. Conclusions: Participation in the programme led to clinically important and reliable improvements in several intervention outcomes, hinting that this evidence‐informed intervention has the potential to be a valuable resource for promoting successful psychosocial adjustment among this population. Suggestions were made to fine‐tune the evaluation and implementation of a large‐scale trial to, in due course, encourage the integration of this technology‐assisted interdisciplinary initiative into existing kidney care services. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: clinical trial equations & formulas glossary research tables/charts Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
