Uitkomstmaten
Primaire uitkomstmaten
The primary outcome measures are coping style and quality of life. These are measured using validated questionnaires at timepoints T0 (before intervention), T1 (after intervention), T2 (6 months after intervention) and T3 (12 months after intervention).
Achtergrond van het onderzoek
In the Netherlands, approximately 40.000 persons a year suffer from stroke. Stroke can have consequences in all areas of a person's life. If not coped with optimally, this life event will have a negative effect on the quality of life. Coping style is a persons preferred way of dealing with different circumstances. Coping style may be influenced by intervention. The aim of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of Problem Solving Therapy, a group training to improve coping style and quality of life of stroke patients. A randomized trial will be performed to assess the effectiveness of Problem Solving Therapy.
Doel van het onderzoek
After receiving PST, stroke patients will have a more effective coping style followed by a better quality of life.
Onderzoeksopzet
Measurements are taken within three weeks before the intervention, within 10 days after the intervention, 6 months and 12 months after the intervention.
Onderzoeksproduct en/of interventie
Patients in the treatment condition will receive Problem Solving Therapy (PST), a group training for 8 weeks, in addition to standard care. The therapy teaches patients to solve problems in a systematic way, which we expect to influence coping style and quality of life. Patients in the control condition will receive standard care only.
