Enhancing dyadic outcomes of stroke survivors and caregivers: protocol for a randomised controlled trial.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Stroke is a leading cause of death and disability worldwide. Stroke survivors and their caregivers often face profound social isolation and various participation restrictions, resulting in frustration and adverse health outcomes. Dyad-focused interventions, which address both survivor and caregiver needs, are essential during the transition process. However, few interventions equally prioritise the outcomes of both survivors and caregivers. This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of a newly developed dyad-focused strategy training intervention in enhancing participation among stroke survivors and their caregivers.

Methods and analysis

This study employs a single-blind, parallel-group randomised controlled trial with allocation concealment and assessor blinding.
