HOBSCOTCH for People With Post Acute COVID-19 Syndrome (PACS)
Sponsor: Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center
Summary
The goal of this pilot study is to assess the feasibility of adapting and delivering the existing home-based epilepsy self-management intervention, HOBSCOTCH, for people with Post Acute Covid Syndrome (PACS). The main questions it aims to answer are: Can the current HOBSCOTCH program be adapted for people with PACS? Will people with PACS experience improved quality of life similar to that found in people with epilepsy after participating in the HOBSCOTCH program? Participants will be asked to: * attend nine, one-hour virtual (online and/or by telephone) HOBSCOTCH-PACS sessions with a one-on-one certified HOBSCOTCH-PACS coach * complete a brief clinical questionnaire about their diagnosis of PACS * complete seven questionnaires before and after the HOBSCOTCH-PACS sessions about their quality of life, memory and thinking processes (objective and subjective cognition), about their physical and mental health and about autonomic symptoms associated with their diagnosis of PACS * keep a short daily diary (using a smart phone app or on paper) about their PACS symptoms and use of the self-management strategies taught in the HOBSCOTCH-PACS program * complete two brief surveys to assess satisfaction with their experience after the entire HOBSCOTCH-PACS program
