Visual Arts-based Intervention for Community-dwelling Stroke Survivors

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

Stroke is the major cause of disability worldwide and leads to psychosocial issues for community-dwelling stroke survivors in their recovery journey. Previous studies showed the benefits of visual arts-based interventions in enhancing self-efficacy and psychosocial functions. However, the interventions were not well designed with a theoretical framework. This study will investigate the effects of a theory-driven visual arts-based intervention on community-dwelling stroke survivors' psychosocial outcomes. A two-arm randomised controlled trial will be conducted. This is a feasibility trial to test the preliminary effects of this intervention and assess its feasibility and acceptability.

Clinical Trial Description

Stroke is the second-leading cause of death and the major cause of disability worldwide. With advanced progress in stroke treatment, more people with stroke now survive longer than in past decades and become stroke survivors living in the community. Improvements in stroke rehabilitation services further boost physical outcomes and increase functional independence in stroke survivors after discharge. Whereas psychosocial issues commonly persist over the recovery journey in community-dwelling stroke survivors, such as psychological distress, low self-efficacy and social network. Existing research suggested that enhancing self-efficacy is important to post-stroke psychosocial recovery, while the benefits of visual arts-based interventions in promoting post-stroke psychosocial functions have also been found. However, the current visual arts-based interventions were not well designed with a theoretical framework. Thus, this study will be conducted to contribute to current knowledge of the effectiveness of visual arts-based intervention grounded on Bandura's Self-Efficacy Theory on community-dwelling stroke survivors. This current study will be conducted as a two-arm randomised controlled trial. Eligible participants will be randomised into either a four-week visual arts-based intervention group or a usual stroke care control group. The control group will continue with the usual stroke care provided by community healthcare services. Participants will be assessed 2 times at baseline (T0) and post-intervention (T1). ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
