About this trial

The overall goal of this proposed study is to evaluate the efficacy of a small-group, stroke-specific, self-management program delivered via telehealth to improve self-efficacy, activity performance, and quality of life in individuals with sub-acute stroke.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

less than 6 months post-stroke

age 45-85 years

completed inpatient rehabilitation services (if recommended)

living in the community with or without caregiver support (i.e., not living in a skilled nursing facility)

Disqualifiers

severe depressive symptoms as indicated by a score ≥21 on the Patient Health Questionnaire

dementia symptoms as indicated by a score of <23 on the Montreal Cognitive Assessment

additional neurological diagnoses (e.g., brain malignancy, previous severe stroke)

(4) moderate or severe aphasia as indicated by a National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale aphasia score of ≥ 2

Treatments tested in this trial

  • Improving Participation after Stroke Self-Management Program (IPASS)

    Behavioral

    The IPASS-R program is a group-based self-management intervention that aims to improve problem-solving, action-planning, and resource utilization skills for improved community living and participation. The Activity-Barriers-Changes-Doing-Evaluation (ABCDE) framework is a user friendly problem-solving and goal setting framework that is used repetitively in each session throughout the program. Participants are guided to identify (1) an activity that they want to improve or re-engage in (A); (2) individual and environmental barriers that hinder their engagement (B); (3) changes that they can make to deal with the barriers and improve their engagement (C); and (4) an action plan to pursue (D). After the action plan, participants come back in the next session and evaluate their performance in following through on their plans (E).

  • Chronic Disease Self-Management Program (CDSMP)

    Behavioral

    The program is facilitated by two trained leaders in small groups in a community setting with individuals who have chronic health problems and will follow the CDSMP protocol. Participants receive education on various health-related topics applicable to a range of chronic conditions, share experiences, and support one another.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Canadian Occupational Performance Measure (COPM) Performance

Self-report measure of activity performance. Minimum = 1, Maximum = 10. Higher scores mean better performance.

Time frame
Pre-intervention (week 0), post-intervention (week 6), and 6-month follow-up (week 32)
2

Canadian Occupational Performance Measure (COPM) Satisfaction

Self-report measure of activity performance. Minimum = 1, Maximum = 10. Higher scores mean higher satisfaction.

Time frame
Pre-intervention (week 0), post-intervention (week 6), and 6-month follow-up (week 32)
3

Participation Strategies Self-Efficacy Scale (PS-SES)

Self-report measure of self-efficacy in using participation strategies. The subject rates confidence across 35 items within six subscales: (1) managing home participation, (2) staying organized, (3) planning and managing community participation, (4) managing work and productivity), (5) managing communication, and (6) advocating for resources. Range of scores from 35-350. Higher scores indicate greater self-efficacy.

Time frame
Pre-intervention (week 0), post-intervention (week 6), and 6-month follow-up (week 32)

Secondary outcomes

1

In home activity level as measured by sensor system

average hourly percentage of time spent engaged in activity

Time frame
Duration of study (from baseline assessment (week 0) to 6-month follow-up assessment)
2

Community engagement as measured by sensor system

Time outside the home as measured by time between door sensor activations

Time frame
Duration of study (from baseline assessment (week 0) to 6-month follow-up assessment)
3

Stroke Impact Scale participation domain

Measures perceived stroke recovery/quality of life. Range of scores 0-100. Higher scores indicate higher performance.

Time frame
Pre-intervention (week 0), post-intervention (week 6), and 6-month follow-up (week 32)
4

Assessment of Life Habits (LIFE-H)

Measures self-reported participation in daily activities by measuring total score across 6 domains. Score range of 0 to 9 with higher scores indicating better performance.

Time frame
Pre-intervention (week 0), post-intervention (week 6), and 6-month follow-up (week 32)
