Summary

The goal of this Cluster Randomised, controlled trial (CRT, with two parallel groups pre- and post-test design) is to evaluate the potential effects of the self-management and exercise programme (SMEP) for older adults living with chronic knee pain which is delivered using mobile instant messaging application. The main questions it aims to answer are:

1. Are there any change in pain, physical function, mental well-being, the risk of fall, health belief and self-efficacy and quality of life after the intervention is carried out at week 5?
2. Are there any significance difference in pain, physical function, mental well-being, the risk of fall, health belief and self-efficacy and quality of life between the experimental and control group at baseline and week 5.
3. What are the factors related to the adherence to programme within 5 weeks it is delivered.
4. What are the factors that facilitates or inhibits the implementation process of the programme

Selected clusters will be randomized into either experimental or control group. The experimental group will receive the self-management and exercise programme, which will be delivered using mobile messaging application, twice per week for five weeks. In addition, the experimental group will also continue their Elderly Day Care Centre routine activities. On the other hand, the control group will continue their Elderly Day Care Centre routine activities only

Mobile Instant Messaging Application based Self-management and Exercise Programme (SMEP)for Older Adults with Chronic Knee Pain.

The Mobile Instant Messaging Application based self-management and exercise programme (SMEP) consists of 10 short videos of self-management on chronic knee pain in older adults (5-10 minutes/video), 10 short videos of exercise interventions (5-10 minutes/video) and group discussions (10-20 minutes/session) with each video/session focusing on different content. A WhatsApp group that includes all participants in the intervention group will be created to deliver the three components of the program twice a week for five weeks. At the end of each session, they will be given the power point slides from the self-management video in Pdf format and an e-pamphlet of the exercise video. A total of 30-40 minutes will be allocated for each session to allow for socialization between the participants and researcher and also for a question and answer session.
