Effect of Strategy Training on Self-Awareness of Deficits After Stroke.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

Self-awareness of deficits, or the ability to understand the effects of impairments on daily life, is often diminished after a stroke. Diminished self-awareness influences participation in rehabilitation and functional outcomes.

Objective

To examine whether self-awareness of deficits changed over time after a stroke (N = 43) and whether metacognitive strategy training (n = 21) resulted in improved self-awareness compared with direct skill training (n = 22).

Design

Secondary analysis of data collected from a randomized controlled trial.

Setting

Inpatient stroke rehabilitation.

Participants

Adults with cognitive impairments after an acute stroke.

Intervention

Metacognitive strategy training is an approach in which clients are guided throu
