The participants in the intervention group will receive a home visiting and phone coaching self-management programme (Coaching Ongoing Momentum Building On stroKe rEcovery journeY "COMBO-KEY") which is underpinned by Bandura's constructs of self-efficacy and outcome expectation.

The participants in the usual care group will receive usual rehabilitation services offered, including services by a community rehabilitation network such as exercise training, physical rehabilitation, or activities organised by stroke support groups.

The intervention will last for eight weeks with four home visits and five phone coaching sessions. It will also consist of a 4-item resource package for stroke survivors (including a stroke self-management and self-discovery workbook, a health and life planning toolkit, and videos on sharing of experience by survivors who managed their post-stroke challenges successfully, and a stroke self-management quick reference guide). A telephone hotline for survivors and caregivers to seek information and support related to stroke self-management will also be established. A programme protocol will be developed to ensure the consistent delivery of the programme.

The 13-item Chinese version of the Stroke Self-Efficacy Questionnaire will be used. The items assess the stroke survivors' confidence in performing self-management behaviours over a 0-no confidence to 10-very confident points scale. All item scores are summed (total 0-130). Higher scores indicate higher self-efficacy.

The 11-item Chinese version of the Stroke Self-management Outcome Expectation Scale will be used. The items assess the stroke survivors' confidence in the occurrence of outcomes after performing the self-management behaviours. All item scores are summed (total 0-110; each item is rated over 0-Strongly disagree to 10-Strongly agree). Higher scores represent higher confidence towards positive outcome.
