Brief Summary:
Abstract
Objective: Investigators examined the feasibility of applying a participation-focused strategy training intervention to community-dwelling adults with cognitive impairments following stroke and brain injury and evaluated its potential effect on participation.
Method: Participants with a diagnosis of stroke or brain injury participated in this single-group, repeated-measures study. Participants received 1\~2 sessions of strategy training intervention weekly for 8\~18 sessions. Outcome measures included the Participation Measure--3 Domains, 4 Dimensions (PM-3D4D), the Canadian Occupational Performance Measure (COPM), and feasibility indicators (participants' recruitment, retention, attendance, engagement, comprehension, satisfaction, and intervention adherence).

Detailed Description:
Method
Design A single-group, repeated-measures design was adopted for this study. All participants received the participation-focused strategy training intervention and the assessments at baseline (T1) and at post-intervention (T2). The study protocols were approved by the university institutional review board.
Intervention
The intervention protocols were developed based on the strategy training guidelines developed by Skidmore et al. Three trained research occupational therapists delivered the intervention to participants in addition to their regular outpatient rehabilitation care. The following standardized procedures were followed. First, the therapists asked the participants to identify three participation goals that they perceived important to them. Next, the participants were asked to identify barriers to their performance, and according to which the therapists taught the participants the "Goal-Plan-Do-Check" strategy, which involves (1) setting a goal to address the barriers, (2) developing a plan to address the goal, (3) doing the plan, and (4) checking if the plan worked or required revising. This procedure repeated iteratively until the participants' goal was met, and the next goal could be moved on to. At the end of each session, the therapists prompted the participants to identify the principles they learned during the session and encouraged the participants to apply these principles in the next session. Each participant received 1\~2 intervention sessions per week for a total of 10\~20 intervention sessions (or until their goals were achieved) from trained research therapists. Each session lasted for 45\~60 minutes. All intervention sessions were recorded and rated for fidelity by research staff.
Measures
Background Characteristics. Demographic variables (e.g., age and gender) were collected through a questionnaire developed by the research team at baseline assessment. Clinical variables (e.g., diagnosis and time since injury/illness) were retrieved from participants' medical charts.
Feasibility Indicators. Investigators assessed feasibility by examining (1) the number of participants recruited and retained; (2) the number of intervention sessions that participants attended; (3) participants' engagement in the intervention sessions (assessed by the research therapists using the Pittsburgh Rehabilitation Participation Scale, measured on a 6-point scale: 1: no engagement to 6: excellent engagement); (4) participants' comprehension of the intervention sessions (assessed by a 3-point scale: 1: minimal understanding to 3: good understanding); (5) participants' satisfaction with the intervention (assessed by the Client Satisfaction Questionnaire, a 8-item questionnaire, with total scores 8\~32 (0\~23: poor to fair satisfaction; 24\~32: moderate to high satisfaction); and (6) the intervention adherence (measured by the Strategy Training Fidelity Checklist, for which an independent rater randomly selected 20% of sessions to rate the research therapists' adherence to the principles in the intervention protocol (yes, no) and competence in execution (inadequate, adequate, exceptional).
