Health Web Te@m (1.0) an Interprofessional Web-based Group Intervention Supporting Healthy Ageing

Health Web Te@m (1.0) an Interprofessional Web-based Group Intervention Supporting Healthy Ageing: a Study Protocol for a Feasibility Study

The goal of this study is to evaluate the feasibility of Health Web - Te@m 1.0 for older adults in selected primary healthcare settings in northern Sweden. More specifically, the feasibility 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.
