Tablet-based Cognitive Behavioral Intervention for Older Adults With Arthritis Fatigue

Tablet-based Cognitive Behavioral Intervention: Comparison of Group vs. Individual CBT Education

The purpose of this project is to pilot test a long-term effect of Tab-G (tablet-based cognitive behavioral group education intervention). The investigators will evaluate the effect of Tab-G, relative to Tab-I (tablet-based cognitive behavioral individual education intervention) and usual care group, on (a) daily steps, (b) fatigue level, (c) self-efficacy and (d) quality of life. Tab-G participants will receive 4 weekly CBT-based group education focusing on shared goal setting and mutual reinforcement in a group with 5 members. Tab-I participants will receive 4 weekly CBT-based education individually. The outcomes will be measured baseline, week 4 (intervention completion) and week 8 (follow-up). The investigators hypothesize that older adults receiving Tab-G will have greater improvements on outcomes compared to those receiving Tab-I or usual care at week 4, the intervention completion and at week 8 follow-up.
