Research summary
BACKGROUND: If stroke survivors spend too long sitting or lying down, they can experience poor mental and physical health. As part of our RECREATE project, we have developed a support package called ‘Get Set Go’ to try to encourage stroke survivors to stand and move more. Staff from inpatient and community stroke services received training on how to support stroke survivors to stand and move more. Stroke survivors were encouraged to write down when they were standing and moving each day. Feedback from stroke survivors, carers and staff in interviews indicated that ‘Get Set Go’ did not suit all stroke survivors. We want to understand more about how to support a range of different stroke survivors to stand and move more.
AIMS AND OBJECTIVES: • To explore what ‘types’ of stroke survivors there are in relation to engaging in standing and moving more, and our support package ‘Get Set Go.’ • To explore how 'Get Set Go' focused on standing and moving more, can be tailored to fit with what is meaningful to different individuals. • To produce recommendations for how 'Get Set Go' can be tailored for different types of individuals.
METHODS We will use the interviews undertaken with participants from RECREATE and analyse them using an ‘ideal-type’ approach. This involves creating categories of different ‘types’ of people based on their behaviours, thoughts, and values related to standing and moving. To help us to identify our ‘types’ we will speak to a diverse range of stroke survivors from local stroke groups/organisations. We will involve relevant healthcare professionals and carers in the process.
DISSEMINATION: The recommendations we produce about how different stroke survivors should be supported to stand and move more will be available in a range of formats and disseminated to health professionals in stroke services, stroke survivors, carers and policy makers.REC name
