Protocol for a feasibility study evaluating a supported self-management intervention for stroke survivors with aphasia (StarStep study).

ABSTRACT:

Background

There is a growing evidence base to support the use of self-management interventions for improving quality of life after stroke. However, stroke survivors with aphasia have been underrepresented in research to date. It is therefore unclear if self-management is an appropriate or effective approach for this group. To address this gap in the evidence base, we have developed a supported self-management intervention (the 'Living with Aphasia' intervention) specifically for stroke survivors with aphasia in the first year after stroke.
