Summary
The purpose of the present proposal is to implement and evaluate a new model for mobile phone supported and family-centred rehabilitation intervention (F@ce 2.0) with regard to functioning in activities in daily living and participation in everyday life among persons with stroke and their families (in rural and urban areas) in Uganda.
Detailed description
The investigators' previous feasibility study suggested beneficial effects on self-efficacy and occupational performance and satisfaction of a mobile phone supported and family-centred rehabilitation intervention (F@ce1.0) after stroke in Uganda. The purpose of the present proposal is to implement and evaluate F@ce on functioning in activities in daily living (ADL) and participation in everyday life among persons with stroke and their families. With recommendations on evaluation of complex interventions both outcomes and processes will be studied and hence both quantitative and qualitative methods will be applied. In a randomized controlled trial F@ce 2.0 will be evaluated compared to ordinary rehabilitation in urban/rural Uganda regarding; self-efficacy, perceived performance and participation in everyday activities, independence in ADL, health care utilization and the families´ perceived participation in everyday activities. Qualitative data will explore experiences of people with stroke and family members of participating in F@ce 2.0. This research program has a multidisciplinary perspective for sustainable rehabilitation, a prerequisite for better living conditions for people with stroke in low/middle income countries.
Conditions
Interventions
| Type | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| BEHAVIORAL | Mobile phone supported and family-centred rehabilitation | Participants in the intervention group will receive an eight-week mobile phone supported and family-centred rehabilitation intervention (F@ce 2.0).The participants will be introduced to a problem-solving strategy intended to facilitate the learning and problem-solving process to be used during the intervention. The strategy will provide a structure for healthcare professionals delivering the intervention. Three targets (goals) in daily activities will be formulated that the person wants and needs to do within the home environment. Each activity will be practiced together with the healthcare professionals and family members. Family members will be informed about the participant's target activities and the planned strategies for reaching the targets. The participants will practice the target activities in their home environment supported by mobile phone calls and SMS. In addition they will be given information about stroke and their blood pressure will be measured. |
| PROCEDURE | Information and blood pressure measurement | Control group participants will be given information about stroke and their blood pressure will be measured. |
