Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
Self-compassion. Timepoint: Data on self-compassion will be collected using the short form of the Self-Compassion Questionnaire at three time points: on the first day of the visit, immediately after the last session, and one month after the completion of the intervention, for both the control and intervention groups. If access to participants at the one-month follow-up is difficult and they do not return for continued treatment, an electronic version of the questionnaire will be sent via internal messaging applications. To adhere to ethical research principles, the questionnaire will be completed without including any personal identifying information. In this way, self-compassion data will be collected from older adults with a history of stroke. Method of measurement: To assess self-compassion, the Self-Compassion Questionnaire developed by Raes et al. in 2011 will be used. This questionnaire measures three components: self-kindness versus self-judgment, common humanity versus isolation, and mindfulness versus over-identification. It consists of 12 items across six subscales. The items are rated on a 5-point Likert scale, with higher scores indicating higher levels of self-compassion. To obtain the score for each dimension, the researcher sums the scores of all items within that dimension, with higher scores reflecting greater influence or presence of that component.;Body Awareness. Timepoint: Data on body awareness will be collected using the Body Awareness Questionnaire at three time points: on the first day of the visit, immediately after the last session, and one month after the completion of the intervention, for both the control and intervention groups. If access to participants at the one-month follow-up is difficult and they do not return for continued treatment, an electronic version of the questionnaire will be sent via internal messaging applications.
