Self-management Intervention for People With Cardiometabolic Multimorbidity: A Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial
Sponsor: The Hong Kong Polytechnic University
Summary
This pilot randomized controlled trial aims to evaluate the feasibility and preliminary effects of a telephone-based self-management intervention for adults with cardiometabolic multimorbidity. Cardiometabolic multimorbidity refers to having two or more chronic cardiometabolic conditions, such as hypertension, type 2 diabetes, hyperlipidemia, metabolic syndrome, coronary heart disease, or stroke. The intervention integrates motivational interviewing, self-affirmation, and problem-solving training to support participants in improving their motivation, confidence, and skills for chronic disease self-management and lifestyle behavior modification. Participants will be randomly assigned to either the intervention group or the usual care group. The intervention group will receive two biweekly telephone consultation sessions. The control group will receive usual care according to government guidelines. All participants will complete assessments at baseline, immediately after the intervention, and 3 months after the intervention.

Conditions
Interventions
Motivational interviewing, self-affirmation and problem-solving
The proposed study will use an MI-based intervention, blended and strengthened by self-affirmation and problem-solving techniques (MSP-SMI) to improve patient activation and lifestyle modification in patients with multimorbidity in HK. This integrated intervention is designed to tackle key behavioral change processes as posited in the IMB model and thus may have enhanced efficacy.
Usual Care
The control group will receive usual care accordingly to government guidelines.
