Interventions

BEHAVIORALStrategies Empowering Activities in Everyday life (SEE 2.0)

SEEs internet-based intervention process begins with supporting the client to explore the need of and readiness for changes in everyday life. Thereafter, the client is supported to self-analyse their engagement in activities in everyday life along with use of management strategies in everyday life. Next, the client takes on web- modules including short educational movies with subsequent analyses and reflections. The modules aim to support the development of self-management by improving the knowledge of how strategies and changes in daily activities can prevent disabilities and contribute to improved health. After that, the focus is on establishing an activity plan with goals and activity-based management strategies to promote an active everyday life. The clients' implementation of the plan is supported through follow-up meetings. During the whole intervention process, the client is regularly supported by an occupational therapist through feedback and online guiding dialogues.
