OBJECTIVE: We examined the feasibility of study procedures and explored the
potential efficacy of Occupational Performance Coaching for stroke survivors
(OPC-Stroke), an intervention designed to improve participation after stroke.
METHOD: In this pilot randomized controlled trial, 21 participants were
randomized to receive the intervention or usual care. Recruitment, retention, and
outcome completion rates were calculated. Direction of change and effect sizes
were examined for the outcomes of participation, goal performance and
satisfaction, goal self-efficacy, emotional well-being, and cognition. RESULTS:
Rates of recruitment (66%) and retention (81%) were satisfactory. Participation
scores improved for both groups with different trajectories.
Results showed a
moderate effect of OPC-Stroke for goal performance (eta(2)partial d = .075) and
satisfaction (eta(2)partial
d = .078) and a large effect for cognition
(eta(2)partial d = .167). Other outcome measures did not change as expected.
CONCLUSION: Study procedures were generally feasible. Preliminary findings
support testing to examine the efficacy of OPC-Stroke.
