PO:13:350 Perceptions of live-online fatigue management programmes versus standard care in people with systemic lupus erythematosus: preliminary findings from the FLIP study

Objectives To examine perceptions of fatigue management interventions by people living with SLE in the United Kingdom.Methods We are conducting an ongoing three-armed multi-centre randomised clinical trial called the Fatigue in Lupus Intervention Programmes (FLIP) study, comparing standard care (fatigue management leaflets from Versus Arthritis and Lupus UK) to a 4-week, and a 7-week live-online fatigue management programme (FMP). Following the interventions, each participant was asked (1) if their confidence in managing their fatigue had improved; (2) if they found the intervention helpful; (3) if relevant, did they find the group setting helpful; and (4) which intervention they would prefer if given the choice. We used Fisher’s exact test to compare confidence and effectiveness.Results Participant-reported confidence levels improved in 80% of the 4-Week (4W) FMP Group and 100% of the 7-Week (7W) FMP Group. Both groups were significantly more effective at improving confidence levels than standard care (SC) (4W vs SC p = 0.0011; 7W vs SC p =
