The things that stop people doing what they want to do post stroke Faculty of Health and Social Care Sciences St George’s: University of London 3 May 2012 Development of a conceptual model of participation post stroke Sharing my story Portia Woodman Diana Marsh
Development of a conceptual model of participation after stroke Advisory Panel Interviews Creating a tool using a group of items which capture issues relating to participation post stroke Conceptual model of participation post stroke Qualitative synthesis Exploring tool with participants
Background People with stroke need to be enabled and empowered to live a full autonomous life in the community. (Life after stroke commissioning Guide 2010) In order to accomplish this, people with stroke need assistance to overcome barriers to engage and participate in community activities. (Stroke Strategy 2007)
How is participation experienced by people with stroke? Haggstrom & Lund 2007 Barclay-Goddard, Ripat and Mayo 2011 ‘the engagement in self selected activities that served to promote a sense of inclusion, accomplishment and as a means to stay mentally physically and socially active’
How is the experience of participation post stroke captured? Do we capture this experience? • Stroke survivors measure recovery by participation in activities that brought meaning to their lives pre-stroke (Burton, 2000) How can we capture this? • The best way of capturing the complexity of participation is unknown • According to Noreau et al. (2005) person perceived participation is a more recent concept • As a result there is a paucity of instruments that comprehensively addresses this concept
Why should we capture person perceived participation? • Information on person perceived participation could help stroke services to develop: • better understanding of the person • as well as necessary treatments or support • and could provide information unobtainable by other measures Noreau et al. (2005)
Reasons for undertaking this study • Few examples of the active involvement of people with stroke in the conceptualization and construction of participation instruments. Further research is needed: • To define and capture the experience of participation from the perspective of the person with stroke • To help understand this complex construct
