Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The developed online modules in Minddistrict will be tested in a usability study, after which the intervention can be adjusted/improved. Subsequently, the intervention will be put into practice by means of a 1.5-year testing period. During the testing period, it will be tested whether the intervention has an effect on complaints of depression and anxiety. Quality of life will also be measured before and after following the intervention. In addition, interviews will be conducted with stakeholders within the organizations where the intervention will be implemented (Royal Dutch Visio, Robert Coppes Foundation and Amsterdam UMC ophthalmology department). From this follows an implementation plan. | — |
