简要总结
This pilot study will utilize a longitudinal concurrent mixed-methods research design that gathers and analyzes qualitative and quantitative data overtime about a new 10-session financial coaching program the investigators have developed. The data collected will be used to inform improvements to future related studies and programs for people living with acquired brain injury (ABI).
These mixed-methods data from each method will be integrated to provide a comprehensive understanding of the intervention (i.e., the financial coaching program). Each individualized intervention per ABI-survivor participant will be completed over 3-4 months (i.e., 12-14 weeks).
详细描述
The people to be recruited in the study include:
- Adults living with acquired brain injuries (ABI; "ABI-survivor participant"), and
- Close or trusted others of the adult participants who live with ABI (involvement with the consent of the adult living with ABI; "Close-other support person").
The investigators will recruit participants through community partner organizations. The principal investigator (Dr. Engel) has established relationship with community organizations.
The primary participants for this study are adults who live with Acquired Brain Injury (ABI; i.e., ABI-survivor participants). However, with the consent and guidance of the ABI-survivor participants, the investigators will invite up to one close-other (e.g., caregiver, family, involved friend) of the ABI-survivor participant to take part in the study as a support-person in the intervention with the ABI-survivor participant (involvement of close-others is described more below).
The investigators will recruit up to five ABI-survivors (n=5), each who may or may not have a support person involved in the study. This sample size will be sufficient to generate required information for the study aim and objectives, as there will be some homogeneity to the sample (i.e., adults living with ABI) while also looking for heterogeneity in other participant qualities (i.e., gender, age, time since first brain injury).

入选标准
- •Acquired Brain Injury (ABI-Survivor) Participants
- •The inclusion criteria for ABI-survivor participants are:
- •Age 18 years or older
- •Self-report living with ABI (e.g., traumatic brain injury, stroke, non-traumatic brain injury, or brain injury due to other mechanisms) and chronic/ongoing ABI related symptoms or changes.
- •Self-report to be at least 6 months since the last or only ABI incident (to ensure not in acute stage of brain injury recovery).
- •Currently living in Winnipeg, Manitoba (i.e., the city where the in-person intervention sessions will take place).
- •Can participate sessions that are up to 1-hour in length.
- •Can identify 3 financial-related goals they want to address during the study/financial coaching program over the next 3-4 months.
- •Are interested in wanting to address their financial-related goals with a trained Occupational Therapist.
- •Able to attend in-person sessions at various Winnipeg locations that are convenient for them and if transportation cost support is provided (e.g., parking costs, bus tickets, taxi costs).
排除标准
- •for ABI-survivor participants are:
- •Are not able to participate in in-person sessions that are at least 45 minutes long.
- •Are not able to communicate in English (verbal & written)
- •Unable to complete informed consent and capacity check questions for this study (see informed consent forms).
- •As the investigators are only looking to recruit up to five (n=5) ABI-survivor participants for this study, during screening the investigators will use maximum variation sampling (a specific form of purposive sampling) to guide inclusion if more than five ABI-survivors express interest in this study and are eligible to participate. During screening, the investigators will ask people about self-identified gender in an open-ended question that the investigators then categorize (i.e., man, woman, non-binary) and age (i.e., 18-30 years old, 31-60 years old, greater than 60 years old). Age and gender have been noted to have an influence on financial capability and financial well-being.
- •Close-Other Support Persons
- •The inclusion criteria for the Close-Other Support Person are:
- •Be identified by the ABI-survivor participant as someone they would like to have involved in this intervention.
- •Be 18 years or older.
- •Live in Winnipeg, Manitoba or immediate surrounding environment.
- •Be willing and able to participate in at least 3 sessions in-person financial coaching intervention sessions with the ABI-survivor participant (with times and locations to be scheduled convenient to support-person, the ABI-survivor participant, and OT interventionist)
- •The exclusion criteria for the Close-Other Support Person are:
- •Are not able to participate in in-person sessions that are at least 45 minutes long.
- •Are not able to communicate in English (verbal & written)
- •Unable to complete informed consent and capacity check questions for this study (see informed consent forms).
- •The ABI-participant does not provide consent for this person to be a part of their intervention.
研究组 & 干预措施
Treatment group (pilot)
The total time in this study for an ABI-survivor participant is 10 hours and 15 minutes which includes 7.5 hours of intervention time and 2.75 hours of data collection time.
This is an individualized, in-person 10-session financial coaching intervention program. Each session is 45-minutes. In total, participants will be asked to participate in up to 7 hours and 30 minutes of intervention time with a trained Occupational Therapist. Each session will happen 1-1.5 weeks apart and the financial coaching program will last over 3-4 months. The financial coaching sessions will only be offered in-person (at MBIA Winnipeg location, in their home, at the University of Manitoba/Banntyne Campus, or other community locations acceptable/consented by the participant).

结局指标
主要结局
Canadian Occupational Performance Measure (COPM)
时间窗: through study completion, an average 3 months
COPM is a client-centred tool for individuals to identify and rank problems that restrict their participant in their daily life. Scale score 0-10 on satisfaction and 0-10 on performance of two study goals. Higher scores means more satisfaction or more self-perceived performance related to the goal.
Goal Attainment Scaling (GAS)
时间窗: through study completion, an average 3 months
Goal attainment scaling is a client-centred approach that makes it easier for clients to create personalized and relevant goals for therapy and tracks how far the intervention is moving in the direction of attaining the set goals. Scale of 1-5 for each goals, where 3 is equal to goal being met, 1-2 is goal progress but goal not met, and 4-5 is goal is met and exceeded.
次要结局
- Financial Self Efficacy Scale (FSES) #1 - Rothwell(through study completion, an average 3 months)
- Financial Self Efficacy Scale (FSES) #2 - Lown(through study completion, an average 3 months)
- InCharge Financial Distress/Well-being Scale- Prawitz(through study completion, an average 3 months)
