| The overall aim of this study is to assess the feasibility, acceptability and fidelity of a theory- and evidence-based multifaceted behaviour change intervention targeting free-living physical activity and sedentary behaviour after stroke. In order to assess the feasibility, acceptability and fidelity of the intervention the following outcomes will be collected at the baseline and at the review: 1. Stroke survivor and healthcare professional study recruitment and attrition rates, calculated as rate per month 2. Feasibility of intervention delivery, described using: 2.1. The number of and time taken (minutes) for face-to-face/telephone intervention delivery 2.2. The application of the different intervention components applied (e.g. self-monitoring tools, activity selection) 2.3. Safety reporting 3. Completeness of baseline and review descriptive data to determine the feasibility of the inclusion criteria and of potential outcome measures. Baseline demographics will be collected and at baseline and reviews (the timing of the reviews is individualised to the participant) the following measures will be made: 3.1. Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Well-Being Scale 3.2. Fatigue Assessment Scale 3.3. Rivermead Mobility Assessment 4. Views of stroke survivors and healthcare professionals on the acceptability of the intervention and study protocol, assessed using a questionnaire and interview 5. Fidelity of delivery, receipt and enactment of the intervention, assessed through analysis of audio recordings of healthcare profressional delivered sessions and intervention documentation | — |
