Summary

Participation in valued activities following stroke is a recognized problem. Efficient and effective interventions to address this problem have not yet been established although the literature provides direction as to the needs of stroke survivors and important parts of interventions to address these needs. Occupational Performance Coaching (OPC) is an emerging approach to enabling occupational performance or participation in valued activities that includes these important parts of interventions. The primary goal of OPC is ability and satisfaction with participation in chosen activities, while promoting a client's ability to address future problems with participation. OPC has been successfully used with parents and their children in addressing problems with participation.

OPC has not been explored among adults who have experienced a stroke. For this study OPC-Stroke (OPC adapted for stroke survivors) will be tested to explore its potential effectiveness for increasing participation as well as how feasible and acceptable the research methods are. Sixteen participants who receive OPC-Stroke will be compared with sixteen who do not using measures of participation, goal achievement, well-being, self-efficacy and cognition. Those who receive OPC-Stroke will also be interviewed about their experience of the treatment.
