## Abstract

Proactive and easily accessible interventions are needed to support people with long-term health conditions who experience limitations in activities of everyday life. However, there is a lack of interventions that promote self-management skills that prevent deterioration and improve health. The internet-based programme ‘Strategies for Empowering Activities in Everyday Life’ (SEE) supports people with long-term health conditions in developing self-management skills through knowledge, self-analysis and management strategies, promoting active and healthy daily life. This study protocol aims to evaluate the feasibility of SEE 2.0 and the study design.

This feasibility study employs a pretest and post-test design with no control group, embedded within a mixed-method approach. The participants will include 30–40 clients, occupational therapists and managers involved in delivering SEE 2.0 in primary healthcare and hospital-based services. Data will be collected through assessments and forms at baseline, 4 months and 12 months after inclusion. Additionally, qualitative methods will be used to enhance the understanding of participants’ experiences.

The study was approved by the Swedish Ethical Review Authority. The results will inform the refinement of SEE 2.0 and guide decisions on whether to proceed with planning a full-scale evaluation to assess the intervention’s effect. The results will be published in peer-reviewed scientific journals on websites and presented at conferences and seminars to reach various user groups.
