Initial Perspectives From Rural-Residing Adults on a Digital Cognitive Health Coaching Intervention: Exploratory Qualitative Analysis
Jennifer Rae Myers, Kelsey N Bryk, Erica N Madero, Jacob McFarlane, Anthony Campitelli, Joshua Gills, Megan Jones, Sally Paulson et al.. JMIR formative research, 2024-07-22
Topic: Health services, long-term care and technology
The following four themes emerged from participants' feedback: (1) healthy lifestyle and behavioral changes, (2) a sense of self-awareness through introspection, (3) value in coach support, and (4) a desire for a change in program format (eg, frequency). In total, 93% (n=74) of participants expressed that the intervention needed no changes. Initial participation in the digital cognitive health coaching intervention was well received, as evidenced by participants reporting value in goal setting and strategies for healthy lifestyle and behavioral changes as well as self-reflection on their personal lifestyle choices. Feedback about their assigned coach also offers insight into the importance of the coach-participant relationship and may serve as a significant factor in overall participant success. Given the exploratory nature of this study, more robust research is needed to elicit more information from participants about their experiences to fully understand the acceptability of the digital health coaching intervention. TRIAL REGISTRATION: ClinicalTrials.gov NCT04559789; https://clinicaltrials.gov/show/NCT04559789. INTERNATIONAL REGISTERED REPORT IDENTIFIER (IRRID): RR2-10.2196/31841.

How this study scored 57/100
Published in a peer-reviewed journal. Scored zero for study design, effect reported and randomised / blinded because the record does not state it. We have no data on journal's citation record, times cited, citations per year, impact for its field and year, cited by studies here, still being cited, senior author's track record, institution's track record, multi-centre collaboration and free to read, so those were left out: it earned 32 of the 56 points we could judge it on, which is 57 out of 100.
