| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| Psychosocial Skills-Based Intervention | Experimental | Based on information from Phase I (semi-structured interviews), the investigators will develop a detailed psychosocial intervention manual. The intervention will be tailored consistent with American Heart Association (AHA) recommendations for stroke skills based interventions and will include 2 general and 4 specific modules (selected from 7 available). Generally, in the intervention, stroke patients and stroke caregivers will learn skills to cope and manage stroke-related stressors. It is anticipated that the intervention will have 6 sessions with 2 general sessions delivered within the NICU face to face and 4 tailored specific sessions to be delivered via live video using Vidyo. Participants in the intervention group will also receive treatment as usual. |
|
| Minimally Enhanced Usual Care (MEUC) | No Intervention | Those in the MEUC will continue with their current care. This may include meeting with nurses, physical therapist, medical doctors, and other members of the stroke patient's medical team. Treatment as usual may also involve administration of Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRIs) to those patients with motor problems. They will also received a pamphlet with educational information on stroke and recovery |
| Name | Type | Description | Arm Group Labels | Other Names |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Psychosocial Skills-Based Intervention | Behavioral | Subjects will attend group skills-based sessions once weekly (either in-person or via Vidyo) for 6 weeks and learn skills to cope and manage stroke-related stressors. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Feasibility of the Intervention | Demonstration of feasibility will be assessed by the number of individuals who drop out of the study prior to completing the post- intervention assessment and the rate of missed sessions. If drop-out rate or missed-session rate exceeds 25%, revisions to the intervention may be needed. | Change between Baseline (week 0), post-intervention (week 8), 3-month Follow Up (week 13), and 6-month Follow Up (week 26) |
| Client Satisfaction Questionnaire (CSQ-8) | Measures how satisfied the participant is with the intervention. | Change between post-intervention (week 8), 3-month Follow Up (week 13), and 6-month Follow Up (week 26) |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Measure of Current Status (MOCS-A) | Measures participants' current self-perceived status on several skills that are targeted by the intervention: the ability to relax at will, recognize stress-inducing situations, restructure maladaptive thoughts, be assertive about needs, and choose appropriate coping responses as needed. | Change between Baseline (week 0), post-intervention (week 8), 3-month Follow Up (week 13), and 6-month Follow Up (week 26) |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Age, Gender, Race, Ethnicity, Marital Status, Education Status, and Employment Status of Patients/Caregivers in the ICU | This questionnaire asks ICU patients/caregivers to report their age, gender, race, ethnicity, marital status, highest level of education, and primary employment status over the last 12 months. | Baseline (week 0) |
Eligible dyads (stroke patients and stroke caregivers) must meet the following inclusion criteria:
