Findings from the Promoting Independence in Dementia App (PRIDE-app) Study a Reach, Effectiveness, Adoption, Implementation, and Maintenance Framework Discussion.

Introduction: Self-management is pivotal in helping people with their independence and in managing their health conditions more effectively. The PRIDE-app is a novel online intervention, providing support and information for people living with dementia and their families, aimed at increasing self-management and improving quality of life. Knowledge generated will help inform future developments to the app, with the aim of improving its uptake and implementation in services.

Online peer support for people with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS): a narrative synthesis systematic review.

Background: Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) significantly impacts the lives of people with the diagnosis and their families. A supportive social environment is important for people with ALS to adopt effective coping strategies and health behaviours, and reduce depressive symptoms. Peer support can provide a supportive social environment and can happen in-person and online.

A Web-Based Self-management App for Living Well With Dementia: User-Centered Development Study.

Background: Self-management, autonomy, and quality of life are key constructs in enabling people to live well with dementia. This population often becomes isolated following diagnosis, but it is important for them to feel encouraged to maintain their daily activities and stay socially active. Promoting Independence in Dementia (PRIDE) fosters social inclusion and greater dementia self-management through an interactive handbook.

Understanding Barriers and Facilitators to Online and App Activities for People Living With Dementia and Their Supporters.

Background: Stigma often surrounds people with dementia when it comes to use of computer technology, although evidence does not always support this. More understanding is needed to investigate attitudes and experience in relation to computer technology use among those living with dementia and their readiness to use it to support self-management.

Methods: An online self-report questionnaire was completed by adults living with a dementia diagnosis and those living with them.

Online Peer Support for People With Multiple Sclerosis: A Narrative Synthesis Systematic Review.

Background: People with multiple sclerosis often experience depression and anxiety, negatively affecting their quality of life, especially their social life. Peer support, whether in person or online, could improve social connection and coping. Online peer support allows people to engage from their home at a time that suits them.

A Self-management App for People Living With Mild Dementia (PRIDE): Protocol for a Pre-Post Feasibility Study.

Background: With the rapid increase in the prevalence of dementia in the United Kingdom and beyond, the emotional, social, and economic burden on individuals, families, and health care services continues to rise. Currently, interventions that enable people living with dementia to better manage their condition and achieve a good quality of life are needed.

Objective: This study aimed to explore how the Promoting Independence in Dementia (PRIDE) app can promote and support the self-management of people living with mild dementia.

Online Peer Support for People With Parkinson Disease: Narrative Synthesis Systematic Review.

Background: Parkinson disease (PD) significantly impacts the lives of people with the diagnosis and their families. In addition to the physical symptoms, living with PD also has an emotional impact. This can result in withdrawal from social roles, increasing the risk for social isolation and loneliness.

Exploring the Role of Web-Based Interventions in the Self-management of Dementia: Systematic Review and Narrative Synthesis.

Background: The increasing prevalence of dementia has promoted a move toward equipping people with the skills required for greater self-management of the condition to enable a better quality of life. Self-management encompasses numerous skills, such as goal setting and decision making, which aim to improve an individual's physical and mental well-being when they live with long-term health conditions. Effective self-management may lead to increased well-being and quality of life.

Background: Psychoeducation can provide information and support to cope with the physical and emotional effects of a health condition. This scoping review aimed to identify the evidence regarding psychoeducational interventions for people after a Transient Ischemic Attack (TIA) and minor stroke.

Methods: This review was conducted in accordance with the PRISMA Extension for Scoping Reviews.
