Theory-Based Self-Management Interventions for Community-Dwelling Stroke Survivors: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

Self-management is a critical component of stroke rehabilitation. A better understanding of the use of theory and behavior change techniques (BCTs) informs the development of more effective stroke self-management interventions.

Objective

To examine what theories and BCTs have been applied in stroke self-management interventions; investigate the extent to which these interventions encourage implementation of behavior changes; and appraise their effectiveness to enhance self-efficacy, quality of life, and functional independence.

Data sources

Ovid MEDLINE, Embase, Scopus, CINAHL, Cochrane Library, and ClinicalTrials.gov were searched from inception to May 26, 2020.

Study selection and data collection

Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) in six databases
