Self-Management and Exercise Programme Using Mobile Instant Messaging Application for Older Adults Living with Chronic Knee Pain

The Mobile Instant Messaging Application based self-management and exercise programme (SMEP) consists of 10 short videos of self-management on chronic knee pain in older adults (5-10 minutes/video), 10 short videos of exercise interventions (5-10 minutes/video) and group discussions (10-20 minutes/session) with each video/session focusing on different content. A WhatsApp group that includes all participants in the intervention group will be created to deliver the three components of the program twice a week for five weeks. At the end of each session, they will be given the power point slides from the self-management video in Pdf format and an e-pamphlet of the exercise video. A total of 30-40 minutes will be allocated for each session to allow for socialization between the participants and researcher and also for a question and answer session.
