Conditions

Occupational Problems, Stroke

Brief summary

The goal of this observational study is to investigate participation restrictions and their determinants in people after a mild stroke. The main questions it aims to answer are: Do mRS score, time since stroke onset, cognitive disorders, mood disorders and fatigue negatively impact occupations after mild stroke? Does an increased prevalence of occupational gaps correlate with a diminished quality of life following mild stroke?

Interventions

BEHAVIORALThis research has only one arm. The intervention focuses on occupational issue

During the post-stroke consultation, each participant is invited to complete questionnaires on occupational gaps, mood disorders, fatigue, cognition, and quality of life.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Occupational Gaps Questionnairethe OGQ was administred at the inclusionThe Occupational Gaps Questionnaire (OGQ) assesses presence of occupational gaps in 28 activities, i.e. instrumental ADL, social- leisure- and work/work related activities. Two studies are published on occupational gaps. An occupational gap is defined as the gap that occurs between what an individual wants and needs to do and what he/she actually does.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Hospital Anxiety and Depression scaleHADS was asministred at the inclusionThe Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) is a questionnaire widely used for detecting anxiety and depressive disorders.HADS comprises 14 items, seven of which relate to anxiety symptoms and seven to depressive symptoms. Each item is coded from 0 to 3. The scores for anxiety and depression can therefore vary from 0 to 21, depending on the presence and severity of the symptoms
Montreal Cognitive AssessmentMoCA was administred at the inclusionThe Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) was designed as a rapid screening instrument for the detection of mild cognitive impairment. The MoCA assesses the following cognitive domains: attention and concentration, executive functions, memory, language, visuoconstructional skills, conceptual thinking, calculations, and orientation.
Stroke Impact ScaleThe SIS was administred at the inclusionThe Stroke Impact Scale (SIS) is a stroke-specific, self-report, health status measure. It was designed to assess multidimensional stroke outcomes, including strength, hand function Activities of Daily Living / Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (ADL/IADL), mobility, communication, emotion, memory and thinking, and participation.
modified Ranking ScaleThe mRS was administred at the inclusionThe Modified Rankin Scale (MRS) is a single item, global outcomes rating scale for patients post-stroke. It is used to categorize level of functional independence with reference to pre-stroke activities rather than on observed performance of a specific task.
Fatigue Severity ScaleThe FSS was administred at the inclusionThe Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS) is a 9-item scale which measures the severity of fatigue and its effect on a person's activities and lifestyle in patients with a variety of disorders.
