Development of a Dyad-Focused Intervention for Stroke Survivors and Their Family Caregivers: A Feasibility Study

CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE: Our study supports the feasibility and preliminary efficacy of dyad-focused strategy training for stroke survivor-caregiver dyads transitioning from the hospital to the community in Taiwan. Our preliminary evidence indicates that dyads who receive strategy training exhibit advancement toward their goals and experience considerable enhancements in their individual outcomes. Plain-Language Summary: This study addresses the scarcity of interventions catering to both stroke survivors and their caregivers. By demonstrating the feasibility of our dyad-focused intervention, the research offers preliminary evidence that supports the potential advantages of involving both stroke survivors and their caregivers in the intervention process.PMID:38422433 | DOI:10.5014/ajot.2024.050571
