The goal of this study is to evaluate the feasibility of Health Web - Te@m 1.0 for olderadults in selected primary healthcare settings in northern Sweden. More specifically, thefeasibility will be assessed through the following objectives: - Explore older adults' experiences of the intervention process, acceptability, and perceptions of the value of participating in Health Web - Te@m. - Explore professionals' experiences of acceptability, value, and implementation potential of delivering Health Web - Te@m in primary healthcare settings. - Evaluate adherence to Health Web - Te@m among older adults and professionals. - Evaluate the assessments' ability to detect potential outcomes of Health Web - Te@m.
Ageing populations, together with constraints in healthcare workforce capacity, place
increasing pressure on health systems, prompting structural and organizational
transformations. In this context, there is a growing emphasis on person-centered,
integrated care, where health-promoting interventions play a central role. Health is a
multidimensional and dynamic concept that encompasses physical, mental, and social
well-being, rather than merely the absence of disease. Consequently, healthy ageing
requires a holistic and interdisciplinary approach that strengthens older adults'
resources across physical, psychological, social, and environmental domains. A central
component of these approaches is supporting individuals in maintaining engagement in
meaningful everyday activities, as participation in daily life contributes to a sense of
purpose, identity, and overall well-being. In response to this need, an interprofessional
web-based group intervention was developed, focusing on strategies for healthy ageing and
supporting individuals in managing their daily lives in a sustainable and
health-promoting way. This feasibility study will be conducted using a pretest and
posttest design without a control group to evaluate feasibility and potential results.
Qualitative and quantitative data will be collected concurrently in a mixed-method
design. The combination of data enables a comprehensive evaluation of feasibility. The
intervention Health Web Team 1.0 is a health promoting intervention is targeting older
adults 65+ and is delivered by an interprofessional team in selected primary healthcare
settings in northern Sweden. This feasibility study provides important information to
further evaluate and refine the intervention programme prior to larger-scale testing.
Behavioral: Health Web Te@m
The Health Web Te@m intervention is delivered by an interprofessional team via a digital
communication platform. The intervention starts with an introduction session followed by
six theme sessions and ends with a closing session one month after the last theme
session. Each theme session includes a short educational video followed by a reflection
assignment, and a group meeting moderated by one of the professionals in the
interprofessional team. The intervention aims to support older adults to become aware of,
reflect on, use and develop strategies for healthy ageing.
