Detailed Description
This study aim to determine the effectiveness of the Adapted bridges self-management intervention on South African stroke patients' functional activity, self-efficacy, and participation.
Method: This experimental study will make use of a randomized controlled design (RCT), consisting of one hundred and sixty eight stroke survivors recruited from different health care facilities within the Cape Metropolitan area.
The study participants will be divided randomly into two groups, with one receiving the intervention - the experimental group - and the other receiving an educational booklet - the control group.
Participants will be assessed at baseline, immediately post-intervention (six weeks), three and sixth-month post intervention, using standardized outcome measures (both subjective outcome measures and objective clinical tools).
Ethical clearance and permission to conduct the study will be obtained and patient information will be kept confidential.
Analyses will be conducted using descriptive statistics of frequencies and percentages for categorical variables and mean and standard deviation for continuous variables.
Given the assumptions of equal variance, a two-way full factorial ANOVA will be computed in order to assess interaction between groups and intervention type.

Description
Inclusion Criteria:
- having a first ever stroke, by a physician, based on the WHO (1988) definition of stroke which is "rapidly developing clinical signs of focal (or global) disturbance of cerebral function, with symptoms lasting 24 hours or longer or leading to death, with no apparent cause other than of vascular origin"; ≥18 years of age; of sufficient cognition to participate: having a score of ≥24 points on mini-mental state examination (placing participants at matched mental status) ; are medically stable and; and are within the sub-acute to chronic phase of their rehabilitation (10 weeks to 6-months post stroke).
Exclusion Criteria:
- Participants will be excluded if they have serious medical conditions such as HIV/AIDS or TB, which could additionally affect the outcomes evaluated in this study. Participants with depression, having recurrent stroke, still receiving in inpatient rehabilitation, with cognitive or receptive language difficulties and are unable to comprehend the intervention will be excluded.

Arms and Interventions
Participant Group / Arm |
Intervention / Treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: intervention group
Will receive one session of up to one-hour per week over a six-week period in self-management in addition to their usual rehabilitation and workbook.
|
one session of up to one-hour per week over a six-week period in addition to their usual rehabilitation.
During each session strategies will be used to promote specific behaviors that exemplify the hallmarks of self-management.
These behaviors include enabling patients to work out ways of taking control of their daily lives by setting small targets, recording their progress and problem-solving.
The content of the sessions is determined by the patient and their personal goals rather than being professionally directed

Other: control group
Will receive booklet consist of home exercises and education besides the usual care
|
Participants will receive usual rehabilitation treatment, they will also be given a booklet with education program and exercises they can perform at home.

What is the study measuring?
Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Stroke Self-Efficacy Questionnaire(SSEQ):
Time Frame: baseline to the 6 months after intervention
|
The SSEQ is a 13 point questionnaire developed by Jones et al (2008) and is aimed to determine the individuals perceived level of self-efficacy in completing a range of relevant functional tasks, such as walking, getting comfortable in bed, as well as several self-management tasks
|
baseline to the 6 months after intervention
|
Secondary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
The Rivermead Mobility Index:
Time Frame: baseline to the 6 months after intervention
|
is a 15 point index with various topics and questions aimed at objectively determining the participant's mobility level.
According to Lennon & Johnson (2000) highly reliable between raters (ICC = 0.98, p < 0.001) with high internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha = 0.93).
|
baseline to the 6 months after intervention
|
Rivermead Activities of Daily Living Scale:
Time Frame: baseline to the 6 months after intervention
|
is a 31 point scale used to determine the level of independence a participant has with self-care and household tasks of varying difficulty.
It has an excellent overall test-retest reliability (ICC = 0.96) (Chen et al, 2007) and an excellent concurrent validity at 180 days post stroke (r = 0.93) (Hsueh et al, 2003).
|
baseline to the 6 months after intervention
|
The Mini-BESTest:
Time Frame: baseline to the 6 months after intervention
|
is a 14-item clinical test that covers four components of balance control (anticipatory postural adjustments, postural responses, sensory orientation and stability in gait).
Each item is scored from 0 (unable or requiring help) to 2 (normal) and the maximal score is 28 points.
The Mini-BESTest has an excellent test-retest reliability (ICC = 0.96), with an excellent convergent validity (r = 0.96) (Godi et al, 2013).
|
baseline to the 6 months after intervention
|
The Subjective Index of Physical and Social Outcome scale
Time Frame: baseline to the 6 months after intervention
|
a 10 point rating index aimed at determining the participants' perceived extent of participation within the community, with its main domains as perceived functioning and social connectedness.
SIPSO has been shown to present an excellent test-retest reliability with ICC = 0.96 and has indicated a proven validity (Trigg & Wood, 2003).
|
baseline to the 6 months after intervention
|
National Institute for Health Stroke Scale
Time Frame: baseline to the 6 months after intervention
|
is a 15 item neurologic examination that provides a quantitative measure of stroke-related neurologic deficit.
According to Kasner et al, (1999) reliability Agreement between pairs of raters was also very good to excellent, with ICCs ranging from 0.70 to 0.89.
|
baseline to the 6 months after intervention
|
Action Research Arm Test
Time Frame: baseline to the 6 months after intervention
|
is a 19 item scale divided into four subscales: grasp, grip, pinch, and gross movement.
The items within each subscale are arranged on a 4-point ordinal scale ranging from 0 to 3, with 3 indicating normal performance on each item.
The maximum score on the ARAT is 57 points According to McDonnell, 2008 Inter-rater and retest reliability have been shown to be high (ICC > 0.98) in studies involving patients with stroke and Concurrent validity has been confirmed by comparison with the upper limb component of the Fugl- Meyer Assessment and the Motor Assessment Scale (MAS).
|
baseline to the 6 months after intervention
|
6-minute walk test
Time Frame: baseline to the 6 months after intervention
|
Functional ability will be assessed using the 6-minute walk test (6-MWT), a reliable and valid measure for the stroke population.
Participants will be instructed to walk at a comfortable pace on a 30-m measured walkway for 6 minutes.
The outcome will be the total distance covered during testing.
6MWT exhibits excellent test-retest reliability (ICC = 0.973; 95 % CI = 0.925 to 0.988), it presents a minimal detectable change of 54.1 m, and an acceptable concurrent validity (r = 0.52 to 0.89) (Fulk et al, 2008).
