Are you a family member supporting a stroke survivor?
This study will explore family members of stroke survivors’ perspectives on the user-friendliness of a short booklet which provides ‘top tips’ for supporting stroke survivors to participate in physical activity.
From participants’ feedback, our goal is to revise and update the booklet which will be freely available to all families who are living with stroke.
Participating in the study
You may be able to participate if you are an adult family member (e.g., spouse/partner, adult children and grandchildren, parents, siblings etc.) supporting a stroke survivor who has been living with stroke for longer than 6 months.
Expressing interest in the study
If you are interested in participating, you will:
- Receive a copy of the booklet (electronic or hard copy) and be invited to comment on the content, the layout, and the imagery (approximately up to 2 hours).
