Computer-guided Action Planning to Support Physical Activity (CAPPA) for Employees with Chronic Knee Symptoms

Status: Recruiting
Location: See location...
Intervention Type: Behavioral
Study Type: Interventional
Study Phase: Not Applicable
SUMMARY

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if a brief health coaching intervention based on an approach known as brief action planning + Fitbit can increase physical activity in employees with chronic knee symptoms who work for Advocate Aurora Health. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Will a greater proportion of people in the health coaching intervention increase physical activity to at least 150 minutes of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity per week than a group of people with an attention-control intervention (Fitbit+health education coaching)? * Can we predict who will not increase physical activity levels to at least 150 minutes of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity per week by the end of the study (3 and 6 months) based upon Fitbit data captured over the first four weeks? Researchers will compare a health education coaching intervention + Fitbit to see if providing a Fitbit + attention control will increase physical activity to at least 150 minutes of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity per week among members of the attention-control group. Participants will engage in * Online study orientation and question and answer session * Three assessment sessions (baseline, 3 months, 6 months) * A 12 week intervention with no less than four (4) and no more than twelve (12) health coaching sessions. Physical activity health coaching will make action plans for health coaching. Health education coaching will focus on educating participants on non-physical activity factors related to a comprehensive management of chronic knee symptoms, such as managing fatigue, sleep hygiene, mindfulness, etc.

Experimental: Computer-guided Action Planning to support Physical Activity (CAPPA)
Participants in the CAPPA Arm receive a Fitbit and health coaching using Computer-guided Action planning. Coaches will utilize the coaching software within www.myactionplans.com to guide the coaching interaction and support physical activity plan development. The emphasis is this arm is to create plans that are person-centered and driven by the participant. The action planning process is grounded in the conversational style of motivational interviewing and follows Brief Action Planning as a self-management support style. Coaches in the CAPPA arm will also have access to a custom Movement Dashboard which that uses Fitbit data to plot daily physical activity. The dashboard is coach-facing and is used to support coach dialogue about physical activity.~There is scheduling flexibility: 4-12 visits over the 12-week period. Participants are strongly encouraged not to have a gap longer than three weeks between visits.
Active_comparator: Health education
Participants in Arm 2 receive a Fitbit and health education delivered by a coach. Health education selects topics from the chronic disease self-management program that address common features of living with a chronic condition. Arm 2 avoids making specific plans and avoids discussion of physical activity. The emphasis in this arm is in providing education.~There is scheduling flexibility, 4-12 visits over the 12-week period. Participants are strongly encouraged not to have a gap longer than three weeks between visits to keep the content fresh.
