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.
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.

| Mobile phone supported and family-centred rehabilitation | Behavioral | 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. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Self-efficacy Scale | Participants are instructed to rate how confident they feel about performing each of 16 everyday activities on a 10-point rating scale ranging from 1) "not confident at all in my ability" to 10) "very confident in my ability". The average of all responses are calculated. | Differences in change between baseline and 3, 6 and 12 months |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Canadian Occupational Performance Measure (COPM) | COPM measures performance and satisfaction in self-care, productivity and leisure from the individual's perspective using a scale of 1-10. The participant is asked 1) to rate performance of the specified activities using a 1 to 10 scale and 2) to score his or her satisfaction with that performance using the same scale. Weighted scores of the chosen activities are added separately for performance and satisfaction to create two summative scores. The summative scores are then divided by the number of rated activities to provide COPM scores. |

Participants will be randomly assigned to participate in F@ce 2.0 (IG) or a control group (CG) receiving usual rehabilitation at two different sites; both an urban (IG+CG) and rural site (CG+IG) in Uganda

| Stroke Impact Scale (SIS) 3.0 Uganda version | Assesses the perceived impact on functioning in everyday life in eight domains: Strength, Memory and thinking, Emotions, Communication, ADL/ Instrumental activities of daily living (IADL), Mobility, Hand function and Participation. The SIS includes 59 items within these eight domains. Aggregated scores ranges from 0 to 100, the higher the score, the lower the perceived impact of stroke, i.e. fewer problems in everyday life. The SIS 3.0 also includes a question to assess the participant's global perception of recovery presented in a vertical analogue scale ranging from '0 = no recovery to 100 = full recovery'. | Differences in change between baseline and 3, 6 and 12 months |
| Barthel Index | Measures independence in 10 self-care and mobility activities. Scores range from 0 to 100, with a lower score indicating greater dependency. | Differences in change between baseline and 3, 6 and 12 months |
