Occupational performance coaching for stroke survivors: a pilot randomized controlled trial protocol.

This study will explore the potential efficacy of OPC-Stroke and the feasibility of the research methods for use in a larger trial. METHOD: A pilot randomized controlled trial will be undertaken. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive 10 sessions of OPC-Stroke or usual care. Participation, perceived goal performance, satisfaction and self-efficacy, emotional well-being, and cognition will be measured at three time points. IMPLICATIONS: This research will test the potential usefulness of OPC-Stroke as well as the study methods, and thereby inform the continuing development of OPC-Stroke and further studies to measure its effectiveness.
