Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Other interventions - Patient education

Experimental: Experimental video - Knee OA educational video based on an empowerment discourse delivered online and embedded within the survey.

Active Comparator: Control video - Knee OA educational video based on a disease and impairment discourse delivered online and embedded within the survey.


Other interventions: Patient education
Knowledge and beliefs about the condition and its management influences patient behavioural intentions, including treatment choices. Thus, patient education may play an important role in facilitating desirable behaviours with the aim of education being to develop accurate beliefs about treatment options and empower people to choose wisely for their current needs and circumstances.

Summary
Brief summary
Education is an important part of knee osteoarthritis management. The aim of education is to
help people with knee osteoarthritis make the best choices for them in terms of their
treatment and lifestyle behaviours. Traditional education that describes the condition
simplistically in terms of the joint damage and describes the cause of osteoarthritis solely
with respect to loading through the joint can lead to activity avoidance and pessimism about
the future progression of symptoms. An alternative is to provide the information about knee
osteoarthritis management with the aim of giving hope for the future and building motivation
and confidence to be physically active. This study will compare two educational videos that
cover the same topics but with a contrasting 'discourse'. The experimental video has an
'empowerment and participatory' discourse, while the comparator or control video has a
typical 'disease and impairment' discourse. The experimental video minimises mention of joint
damage and instead corrects misconceptions about knee osteoarthritis, addresses common
barriers to physical activity and incorporates behaviour change techniques such as social
learning and modelling of desired behaviours. In this randomised controlled trial, people who
report a history of knee problems consistent with knee osteoarthritis will complete
questionnaires to determine their self-efficacy for managing knee osteoarthritis pain and
their fear of movement. The participants will also be asked about their expectations for the
future, their level of motivation to be physically active, and their knowledge about knee
osteoarthritis. Participants will then be allocated one of the videos and asked to watch it
before repeating the questionnaires.
