Treatment and study plan

GO

Behavioral

Green Oasis wellness program: include physical exercises, gardening, interaction with the developed website. Participants' general health status and website evaluation will be measured at T0 (baseline), T1 (3 months), T2 (9 months), using standardized questionnaires.

Study Design: pre-post study, 50 participants will be recruited from the Concordia Tsat Sing Kong transitional housing estate.

Primary outcomes

  1. Quality of life (World Health Organization)

    Time frame: T0 (baseline), T1 (6 months), T2 (12 months)

    Conducting pre- and post-test of WHOQOL-BREF. The brief, Chinese version of the World Health Organization's quality of life scale (WHOQOL-BREF) has our domains: physical health, psychological health, social relationships, and environment. A 5-point response scale is used in the scale. Higher scores indicate higher quality of life. WHOQOL-BREF has good validity and reliability.

  2. Happiness

    Time frame: T0 (baseline), T1 (6 months), T2 (12 months)

    Conducting pre- and post-test of Subjective Happiness Scale (SHS). The Subjective Happiness Scale's Chinese adaptation (SHS) consists of 4 items to measure individual levels of subjective happiness. It features 4 questions, each evaluated on a 7-point Likert scale, where a higher score signifies a higher degree of subjective happiness

  3. Activities of daily living

    Time frame: T0 (baseline), T1 (6 months), T2 (12 months)

    Conducting pre- and post-test of Activities of Daily Living Questionnaire (ADLQ). The activities of daily living questionnaire (ADLQ) will be measured by the Barthel Index, which consists of 10 items of ADL, including mobility and self-care ability. It refers to the basic self-care tasks that individuals perform daily to maintain their overall well-being and take care of themselves; the activities include eating, grooming, bathing, and dressing.

  4. Physical activity

    Time frame: T0 (baseline), T1 (6 months), T2 (12 months)

    Conducting pre- and post-test of the 5-Item Physical Activity Questionnaire. The Chinese adoption of the 5-item physical activity questionnaire will be used to assess the physical activity levels of the participants. This questionnaire uses a 5-point Likert scale to assess five items: frequency, duration, intensity, overall length, and type of activities the participants perform during their spare times. The test-retest reliability of this questionnaire is between 0.61 and 0.91, indicating its usefulness.

  5. Satisfaction with migration life

    Time frame: T0 (baseline), T1 (6 months), T2 (12 months)

    Conducting pre- and post-test of the Satisfaction With Migration Life Scale (SWMLS). The Chinese adoption of the Satisfaction With Migration Life Scale (SWMLS) to assess participants' satisfaction with their life after moving in to transitional housing. The scale has 5 questions in total and follows a 7-point Likert scale, with some modifications on the wordings according to the study. SWMLS has good validity and reliability.

  6. Pain intensity

    Time frame: T0 (baseline), T1 (6 months), T2 (12 months)

    Pain will be measured using the Chinese version of the Brief Pain Inventory to assess the multidimensional nature of the participants' pain, including intensity and interference with daily activities over the past 24 hours. The total scores for pain severity (four items) range from 0 to 10, with higher scores indicating more severe pain. This scale demonstrated good reliability, with coefficient alphas greater than 0.70

Secondary outcomes

  1. Website evaluation

    Time frame: 2 weeks after T2 (post-test)

    Website will be assessed using the Chinese version of the System Usability Scale (SUS). The SUS consists of 10 items rated using a 5-point Likert scale. A higher total score indicates better quality of the rated system. This scale has good reliability, with a Cronbach's alpha of 0.84.

  2. Semi-structured interview

    Time frame: within 2 weeks after T2 (post-test)

    Interview participants about joining the program, their perceived benefits, challenges, etc.
