Rehabilitation Strategies for Social Participation in Chronic Stroke Survivors
This study is testing two rehabilitation programs to help people who have had a stroke at least six months ago get back to social activities. One program, called Strategy Training Only (START), focuses on practicing tasks and strategies in your home. The other program, Strategy Training embedded with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy Principles (ACES), combines these strategies with principles from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which helps with psychological flexibility. Researchers want to see if ACES leads to better improvements in social participation and psychological flexibility compared to START. They will also check how practical and satisfying both programs are. You might be able to join if you are an adult living in the community with a chronic stroke and have difficulty with social participation.
- Study design
- This interventional study plans to enroll 54 participants. It compares two behavioral interventions: Strategy Training Only and Strategy Training embedded with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy Principles.
- What's involved
- Participants will receive ten 45-60 minute sessions, twice a week, in their home. They will also complete testing to see if they are eligible.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- The study measures changes from baseline to one month after rehabilitation.

What this trial measures
- Feasibility: Fidelity (for each group)Baseline to Post-intervention up to 8 weeks
Fidelity is measured using Strategy Training (ST) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) fidelity tools. All intervention sessions will be video recorded and a random 20 percent will be rated by independent evaluators trained by the principal investigator. ST fidelity will be assessed with the 10-item fidelity tool with 8 or more items rated as adequate or excellent indicating adequate fidelity. ACES fidelity will be assessed with a 22-item tool generated from the 10-item ST and 12-item ACT fidelity tools, with 18 or more items rated as adequate or excellent indicating adequate fidelity. The a priori criterion for adequate fidelity was that equal or greater than 80 percent of intervention sessions are rated with equal or greater than 80 percent of adequate fidelity for each START and ACES intervention.
- Feasibility: Satisfaction (for each group)Baseline to Post-intervention up to 8 weeks
Client satisfaction is measured using the Client Satisfaction Questionnaire. The Clients Satisfaction Questionnaire is an 8-item assessment of satisfaction with the intervention program, rated on a 4-point scale that ranges from 1 to 4 in each item. An average score will be computed for each participant. High scores indicate high satisfaction. The a priori criterion for satisfaction was equal or greater than 80 percent of the sample has mean Client Satisfaction Questionnaire score of equal or greater than 2.5.
