Singing for People With Aphasia (SPA)

10 oktober 2018 bijgewerkt door: University of Exeter

Singing for People With Aphasia (SPA): A Pilot Randomised Controlled Trial of a Group Singing Intervention to Improve Wellbeing

To undertake a pilot study that will evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of procedures to inform the design and delivery of a definitive RCT of SPA (which would assess the clinical and cost effectiveness of SPA for people with aphasia)

Studie Overzicht

Gedetailleerde beschrijving

Beyond language function, people with aphasia (PWA) report a range of health problems which negatively affect wellbeing, including reduced confidence and social isolation. These psychosocial outcomes of aphasia are not sufficiently met by healthcare services: improvements in language function do not appear to lead to improvements in wellbeing. National clinical guidelines for stroke reflect this observation and highlight the need for community integration and participation of people with aphasia. This research is about singing groups for people with aphasia (SPA) and is intended to address this need by focusing on the wellbeing and social participation needs of people with aphasia after stroke.

The Investigators engagement activities and early development project provided strong impetus for the proposed study: people with aphasia repeatedly told the investigators that singing in groups may help the participants to reconnect with society, and that this will improve wellbeing.

The investigators have planned a pilot study that will allow an assessment of the extent to which the study processes and the singing groups themselves are feasible to run and are acceptable to participants. The information from this work will help the investigators to decide whether to conduct a larger randomised controlled trial (RCT) which would be a fair test of whether SPA can improve the lives of individuals with post stroke aphasia.

Actieve vergelijker: Resource pack
Aphasia resource pack
Resource pack with information on living with aphasia and local community activities.
Experimenteel: Singing group + resource pack
Singing group + Aphasia resource pack
SPA is a community-based, 10 weekly singing group. Each SPA session comprises 30 minutes of settling in/wrap-up and departure, and 60 minutes of group singing. Sessions will be led by a community music leader, co-facilitated by a person with aphasia, and involve the group singing from a songbook. Musical accompaniment will be provided by the facilitator(s). Small percussion instruments will be available for participants, enabling involvement of those with limited singing ability. Intervention content integrates the Information-Motivation-Behavioural (IMB) skills model of health behaviour change to support individuals in developing the social skills and confidence needed to improve psychosocial outcomes. Participants will also receive the resource pack.
