Development of the < em > "Kalmer" < /em > relaxation intervention: co-design with stroke survivors with aphasia

CONCLUSIONS: Overall, a co-designed accessible relaxation product was viewed as a necessary component of usual stroke care. Acceptability and feasibility and preliminary efficacy of the "Kalmer" intervention should be trialled in future studies. IMPLICATIONS FOR REHABILITATIONCo-designing psychological interventions for people with aphasia after stroke is needed to meet the needs of this at-risk population.Technology-based relaxation interventions to manage anxiety after stroke are viewed positively by people with aphasia and deemed acceptable and feasible.Clinical trials of these co-designed relaxation interventions are required before recommending integration into routine practice.PMID:35549790 | DOI:10.1080/09638288.2022.2069294
