A randomised controlled trial to assess the feasibility and acceptability of remote psychosocial and exercise interventions for people with lupus: The ADAPT feasibility trial.

ABSTRACT: Limited psychosocial support is available for people with lupus despite the highly reduced quality of life. This study assessed the acceptability, feasibility, and effectiveness estimations, of three (two psychosocial, one exercise) interventions. Lupus patients (N = 124) were randomised to a control arm or one of three interventions delivered remotely over 8-12 weeks: (1) listening support (The Wren project), (2) online Pilates classes, and (3) a text message and video support programme. Online follow up surveys post-intervention and six-months post-baseline included validated instruments for depression (PHQ-8), fatigue (FACIT-F), resilience (CD-RISC), acceptability measures and our co-designed "ADAPT" measure. A subsample of participants completed qualitative interviews. Hedge's g and li
