Feasibility Study of Caregiver-Assist Strategy Training

NCT06741475 · Status: RECRUITING · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 30

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The goal of this study is to examine the feasibility of delivering an innovative intervention, caregiver-assisted strategy training (CaST), targeting enhancing activity functions in community-dwelling adults after stroke. The main questions it aims to answer are:

* Is CaST acceptable to stroke survivors with functional limitations?
* Does CaST show positive effects on functional outcomes?

Researchers will compare the CaST program to a control education program to investigate the interventional effect size for the selected stroke participants.

Participants will:

* Receive CAST or an education program 1 to 2 sessions per week until finishing 10 sessions.
* Be assessed clinical outcomes at 4 times: pre-intervention, post-intervention, 3-month, and 6-month follow-up.
* Be interviewed once after finishing their intervention.

Conditions

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Caregiver-Assist Strategy Training

CaST is a home-based rehabilitation that guides both stroke survivors and their caregivers to implement strategy training for addressing real-life limitations after stroke. During the intervention, the caregiver not only supervises the participant but also co-participates in the practice by instructing on when and how to be an assistant and facilitator when the stroke survivor executes their practice plan.

BEHAVIORAL

Education

Stroke-related information and knowledge that includes stroke subtypes and their etiology, risk factors of primary and secondary stroke, healthy lifestyles, common sequela, and adaptive skills for impaired functions are provided.
