Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Health coaching

The core belief in coaching is that people are resourceful and that the participant knows what is best for themselves. If the participants are assigned to the health coaching group, they will have access to a health coach with a physiotherapist background. Instead of offering physiotherapy advice, however, the health coaching will work with the participant to come up with ideas that work the best for them to manage their health and wellness to prepare for surgery, including addressing some difficulties the participant are facing when using the online resource.

BEHAVIORAL

Digital toolkit

This intervention provides, via a website, self-management support of preoperative rehabilitation for hip or knee replacement based on NICE guidelines Joint replacement (primary): hip and knee. This includes guidance for patients to undertake a strengthening programme that will aid recovery, lifestyle behaviours including weight management, diet and smoking cessation, and maximising functional independence and quality of life before surgery.
