Stroke Clinical Trial
Official title:
A Theory-driven Visual Arts-based Intervention on Psychosocial Outcomes Among Community-dwelling Chinese Stroke Survivors
Stroke 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 evaluate the effectiveness of a theory-driven visual arts-based intervention on community-dwelling stroke survivors' psychosocial outcomes. A two-arm randomised controlled trial will be conducted to test the effects of this intervention and assess its feasibility in the community.

Primary | General Self-efficacy as assessed by the General Self-efficacy Scale (Chinese version) | The General Self-efficacy Scale (Chinese version) (C-GSES) will be adopted to measure the participants' self-efficacy. Each item asks participants about their self-efficacy. Each item is rated on a four-point scale from 1 "Not at all true" to 4 "Exactly True". The total score is summed to give a range from 10 to 40, and the higher score represents greater self-efficacy. The C-GSES has a high Cronbach's alpha coefficient of 0.96, which indicates good reliability and validity. | Change from baseline (T0) to immediately after completion of the intervention (T1), and one month after completion of the intervention (T2) | |
Secondary | Psychological distress (Depression, anxiety, and stress) as assessed by the Depression Anxiety and Stress Scale 21-items (Chinese version) | The Depression Anxiety and Stress Scale 21-items (Chinese version) (C-DASS-21) will be adopted to measure participants' psychological distress. The score calculates the stress, depressive symptoms, and anxiety in five-level in each subscale: (1) normal; (2) mild; (3) moderate; (4) severe; and (5) extremely severe. The higher scores represent more negative moods. The total scale has a Cronbach's alpha coefficient of 0.92, and the depression, anxiety, and stress subscales have a Cronbach's alpha coefficient of 0.83, 0.80, and 0.82, respectively, which indicates good reliability and validity. | Change from baseline (T0) to immediately after completion of the intervention (T1), and one month after completion of the intervention (T2) | |
Secondary | Social participation as assessed by the social domain Stroke Impact Scale 3.0 (Mandarin version) | The social domain Stroke Impact Scale 3.0 (Mandarin version) (M-SIS 3.0) will be adopted to measure participants' social participation. The score of each item in the social domain is from 1 "all of the time" to 5 "none of the time". The final score of this subscale ranges from 8 to 40. The higher the total score means the better social participation. The total scale has a Cronbach's alpha coefficient of 0.78, and the social domain has a Cronbach's alpha coefficient of 0.83, which indicates good reliability. | Change from baseline (T0) to immediately after completion of the intervention (T1), and one month after completion of the intervention (T2) | |
Secondary | Health-related quality of life as assessed by the World Health Organization Quality of Life-BREF (Chinese version) | The World Health Organization Quality of Life-BREF (Chinese version) (C-WHOQOL-BREF) will be adopted to measure participants' quality of life. This scale consists of 26 items: Two items assess the overall quality of life and general health, and the remaining 24 items were categorised into four domains, including physical health, psychological health, social relationships, and environment. The items are scored from 1 to 5. The average score for each area is between 4 and 20. The higher the total score means the better the quality of life. The C-WHOQOL-BREF has a high Cronbach's alpha coefficient of 0.64 to 0.88, which indicates good reliability and validity. | Change from baseline (T0) to immediately after completion of the intervention (T1), and one month after completion of the intervention (T2) |
