Research summary
A Patient Reported Outcome Measure (PROM) is a questionnaire that asks patients for their views on their own health or the impact of healthcare they have received on their health and quality of life\n\nThere is a PROM (the PROMIS-10 Global Health) and a number of extra questions that are recommended for use in people who have had a stroke by the International Consortium for Health Outcomes Measurement, but the best way of delivering these questions for stroke survivors is unknown.\n\nAt present, the NHS in England, Scotland and Wales are required to offer every stroke survivors a 6 month post stroke follow-up appointment. Currently, the information collected at this 6 month review is not from the patient’s perspective and the best method of collecting this information has not been established.\n\nThe aim of this research is to understand if there is a difference between 4 methods of administration using a grouping of Patient Reported Health Status Questions (PRHSQs) in people who have had a stroke. \n\nThe four methods of administration are: \n\n-\tFace-to-Face\n-\tTelephone\n-\tOnline\n-\tPost\nTo conduct this research study four initial Principal Investigators in 4 sites have agreed to take part. Aneurin Bevan Health Board will hold 3 sites and Cwm Taf University Health Board will hold 1 site. Between each site a sample of 808 eligible stroke survivors will be asked to take part. From these 808 people, 202 participants will be randomly assigned to each method of administration. \n\nThe study data collection will run concurrent from 1st June 2017 to 31st December 2017. \n\nThe conclusions of this research will inform the roll-out of the most appropriate method of delivering the 6 month stroke follow-up review for stroke survivors.\n
