| The process of the intervention will be evaluated on actual use and added value of the e-health self-management support program “Vaat In Zicht”, and dropping out of the intervention. Both patients and nurses will take part in the evaluation. Qualitative data on the feasibility of the intervention will be obtained via nine semi-structured interviews. The patients will be interviewed about their experience using the intervention asking questions on worthiness, time consumption and relevance. The actual use of the intervention will be monitored quantitatively during the intervention period counting data on frequency of the patients’ visits to the online self-management program. | — |
