What do people with osteoarthritis think about using a digital behaviour change intervention to support physical activity? (2022)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Background
Osteoarthritis (OA) affects 8.75 million people in the UK. Physical activity (PA) is recommended as a core treatment, yet nearly half of people with OA are inactive. Accessible and user-friendly interventions are needed to motivate people...

Acceptability of a brief fatigue intervention for inflammatory arthritis: A qualitative process evaluation (2022)
Journal Article

Objectives: We developed a brief cognitive behavioural, one-to-one intervention to reduce fatigue impact for patients with inflammatory arthritis. This qualitative process evaluation explored intervention acceptability and potential refinements from...

Brief intervention to reduce fatigue impact in patients with inflammatory arthritis: Design and outcomes of a single-arm feasibility study (2022)
Journal Article

OBJECTIVES: Patients with inflammatory arthritis report that fatigue is challenging to manage. We developed a manualised, one-to-one, cognitive-behavioural intervention, delivered by rheumatology health professionals (RHPs). The Fatigue - Reducing it...

Using the NICE evidence standards for digital health technologies to evaluate a digital self-management tool for people with musculoskeletal conditions (2021)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Purpose
getUBetter provides digital self-management for people with musculoskeletal (MSK) conditions across care pathways in England. Digital health technologies (DHT) are being embedded at pace, but we need to determine their effectiveness, value,...
