| Abstract | INTRODUCTION: There is a need for the development and evaluation of occupational therapy interventions enabling participation and contributing to self-management for individuals with multiple chronic conditions. This pilot study aimed to assess the feasibility and potential impact of an occupation-based self-management programme for community living individuals with multiple chronic conditions. METHODS: Sixteen participants completed a six-week programme. Assessments were conducted at baseline, immediately post-intervention and at eight-week follow-up. Sixteen participants provided immediate follow-up data and 15 participants provided eight-week follow-up data. Outcome measures included participation in occupations; perceptions of occupational performance and satisfaction; self-efficacy; depression, anxiety and quality of life. Focus groups explored participants' perceptions of the programme. RESULTS: The findings are promising and indicate that the programme delivery was feasible. Significant differences were found immediately post-intervention in frequency of activity participation (P = 0.008), including domestic (P = 0.040) and work/leisure activities (P = 0.015), self-perceptions of occupational performance (P = 0.017) and satisfaction with same (P = 0.023). At eight-week follow-up, significant differences continued to be found in frequency of activity participation (P = 0.018), including work/leisure activities (P = 0.038), perceptions of occupational performance (P = 0.010) and satisfaction (P = 0.008) and self-efficacy (P = 0.050). No differences were found in anxiety, depression or quality of life at follow-up periods. Focus group data supported the programme's impact on activity participation and self-efficacy. CONCLUSION: Despite the small sample in this pilot study there were significant improvements in occupational performance and the findings provide support for the programme. However, there is a need to test the intervention rigorously with a definitive randomised trial in a primary care setting. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
