Brief summary

Strive to Thrive was created by people with a lived experience of stroke, clinicians and researchers. It is designed to help people who have had a stroke identify what helps and hinders them at their work and create a personalised action plan to manage the impact of the stroke on their day-to-day work life. We want to see if Strive to Thrive is acceptable to a broader group of people who have had a stroke, and make further adjustments and improvements based on their feedback. If Strive to Thrive is acceptable and seen as useful, we can then do a larger study to find out if it has a positive effect on the person who has had a stroke.

Strive to Thrive involves 3 x 1 hour sessions, held at least one week apart, completed individually with a facilitator (clinical psychologist; clinical psychology intern; stroke nurse) over teleconference. The first session will be brainstorming different thoughts and ideas around factors affecting work and management strategies; an action plan is developed in session 2 using the management strategies identified in session 1 (e.g. ensuring meetings are spaced apart with a break between each) and a review in the third session. The completed Strive to Thrive forms will be reviewed by the research team to ensure all components have been completed during the sessions.
