Official title
Feasibility of Home-based Cognitive Strategy Training for Independence of Activities of Daily Living in Adults With Chronic Stroke
Overview
This pilot experimental study aims to describe the feasibility of a cognitive strategy training protocol : PRPP-I, in activities of daily life across home-based setting for adults with chronic stroke for improvement of independence and quality of life. Aditionnally to examine preliminary effectiveness of PRPP-I protocol within a home-based setting on functional cognitive strategies, independence, quality of life and career burden.
Detailed description
Stroke is the first cause of acquired disability in France causing impairments on independence. Depending on the area damaged, the impairments may vary. Indeed, these disorders can lead to a loss of autonomy and have an impact on independence in daily life activities. Following a stroke, most of patients retain long term consequences. 39 % of patients report cognitive impairment within three years after stroke. The prevalence of a cognitive impairment at 3 months post-stroke is estimated to be between 23 and 55 % impacting participation in daily life and quality of life. Due to reduced autonomy and participation restrictions, stoke patients need human assistance. It's estimated that 8,3 million people regularly provide home care to a dependent family member. Career time has demonstrated to increase with the level of dependency highlighting importance of rehabilitation of cognitive disorders after stroke for independence and caregiver burden prevention. Cognitive training during real-life activities warrants additional interest for improvement of autonomy in adults with stroke. Yet, majority of training is limited to hospital-based settings.
Perceive, Recall, Plan and Perform-Intervention protocol (PRPP-I) is aimed at delivering task-based cognitive strategy training during activities appropriate for delivery in home-based setting. The objective of this pilot study is to evaluate feasibility and preliminary effectiveness of the protocol of cognitive task-based strategy training on performance, independence and quality of life in adults with stroke within a home-based setting with a non-concurrent multiple baseline design.
Patients will be followed during 12 weeks over 3 phases. Phase A corresponds to the baseline, during this phase, there is no cognitive intervention. Intervention takes place during phase B. Patients will receive 3 sessions per week, lasting between 45 to 60 min during 4 weeks. PRPP-Intervention aimed at training cognitive strategies in an activity of daily living will be delivered. Subsequently, there will be a follow-up phase, during this period, patients will not have intervention. Assessments will be proposed to evaluate the possible results of the PRPP-Intervention.
Interventions
- Other Perceive, Recall, Plan and Perform-Intervention protocol (PRPP-I)
delivered over a 4-week period, in 12 sessions (45/60 min, 3 days a week for 4 weeks) for all patients according to the PRPP-I protocol. The intervention will be carried out by a PRPP-certified occupational therapist working on a Master's degree. It will consist of : * Implementation of training in functional cognitive strategies and meta-prompts through performance in home activities, * Repeated measurement of performance judgment criteria ; * Assessment of cognitive strategies * personalized
Primary outcome measures
- Feasability [Time frame: From enrollment to the end of intervention at 4 weeks]
Secondary outcome measures (1)
- Functional Independence Measure (FIM) [Time frame: At enrollment, Start of intervention (between 1 and 5 weeks post enrollment), End of intervention (between 5 and 9 weeks post enrollment), and 3-month follow-up post end of intervention]
