IJERPH, Vol. 20, Pages 5714: Feasibility and Acceptability of a Remotely Delivered Executive Function Intervention That Combines Computerized Cognitive Training and Metacognitive Strategy Training in Chronic Stroke International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health doi: 10.3390/ijerph20095714 Authors: Abhishek Jaywant Leah Mautner Rachel Waldman Michael W. O’Dell Faith M. Gunning Joan Toglia Executive dysfunction after stroke is associated with limitations in daily activities and disability. Existing interventions for executive dysfunction show inconsistent transfer to everyday activities and require frequent clinic visits that can be difficult for patients with chronic mobility challenges to access. To address this barrier, we developed a telehealth-based executive function intervention that combines computerized cognitive training and metacognitive strategy. The goal of this study was to describe intervention development and to provide preliminary evidence of feasibility and acceptability in three individuals who completed the treatment protocol. The three study participants were living in the community and had experienced a stroke >6 months prior. We assessed satisfaction (Client Satisfaction Questionnaire-8 [CSQ-8]), credibility (Credibility and Expectancy Questionnaire), and feasibility (percent of sessions completed). All three subjects rated the treatment in the highest satisfaction category on the CSQ-8, found the treatmen...
