Summary

The purpose of this study is to assess the feasibility, acceptability, and effectiveness of a 6-week group-based memory training program for individuals experiencing memory problems after acquired brain injury (ABI).

Memory impairment is a prevalent consequence of neurological disorders like stroke, traumatic brain injury (TBI), anoxia, brain tumours, or brain infections, collectively termed acquired brain injury (ABI). While memory rehabilitation has shown promise in improving cognitive function in ABI patients, individualised treatments can be resource-intensive and not readily accessible to all in need.

The program "Group-Based Memory Rehabilitation to Improve Memory for Everyday Tasks" offers an evidence-based, group-based intervention. Previous studies have demonstrated its efficacy in enhancing everyday memory function, including increased use of memory strategies, achievement of memory-related goals, and improvements in learning ability, both in the subacute and chronic phase post-injury. Furthermore, recent investigations have shown comparable efficacy when delivering the program through telehealth platforms (video conferencing).

The investigators have meticulously translated and adapted the memory program to suit Norwegian conditions. As far as the investigators are aware, this is the first time the program has undergone translation and adaptation for Norwegian speakers.

This study aims to evaluate the memory program's feasibility, acceptability, and effectiveness in a Norwegian context, aiming to support its implementation in local health services. Both physical face-to-face groups as well as telehealth delivery through videoconferencing will be evaluated. Telehealth delivery will be utilised to overcome geographical barriers and enhance accessibility for patients residing in rural or remote areas in Northern Norway, where rehabilitation services are recognized as an unmet need. A total of five groups will be run during 2025 and 2026. Three of the three groups will be digital via videoconferencing.
