Brief Summary:
This study aims to pilot test an 8-week self-administered dyadic couples-based positive psychology intervention for couples coping with stroke using a randomized waitlist control design Mood and well-being will be assessed pre- and post-intervention and at 3-month follow-up It is expected that both partners will demonstrate improvement in mood and well-being
Detailed Description:
Stroke survivors and spousal caregivers face significant challenges yet interventions to support couples after stroke are largely lacking Depressive symptoms post-stroke occur in 30-50 of survivors and partner caregivers and have significant consequences on function and quality of life Further mood and psychosocial well-being are reciprocal in couples meaning if one partner is depressed the other is more likely to be depressed Sustaining well-being in both partners is important for continued engagement in rehabilitation and re-integration into the community yet existing interventions are aimed at the individual rather than the couple This study will address this gap by testing an innovative dyadic couples-based intervention using a new approach based on positive psychology that focuses on the strengths in the relationship in order to foster resilience in the couple Using a randomized waitlist control design this pilot study aims to determine whether an 8-week dyadic positive psychology-based intervention PPI can improve mood and subjective well-being as assessed by established outcome measures in 24 couples coping with stroke The intervention consists of self-administered PPI activities such as expressing gratitude and practicing acts of kindness which participants complete individually and as a couple Two potential pathways will be explored for the PPI a enhanced quality of interactions as couples deal with daily life demands and b improvements in mood that are contagious among couples If found effective couples with greater well-being may be better emotionally equipped to cope with the sequelae of stroke by reducing stress and depressive symptoms and increasing participation in meaningful activities and quality of life
