Physiotherpists perspectives on impact of post-stroke fatigue in rehabilitation outcomes:A qualitative study

The study intends to investigate the effect of post stroke on  rehabilitation outcomes from the perspective of physiotherapist. The study includes physiotherapist working in India and who are actively working in neurorehabilitation centers with a minimum of two year experience in stroke rehabilitation. Physiotherapist who does not have access to videocall facility are excluded. The data will be collected through online interviews with the exclusively prepared semi structured interview guide. The interview will be recorded and are transfered to a password protected device. The recordings are transcribed to verbatim by the interviewer. The transcripts will be read repeatedly to gain a deeper understanding of  the data. Codes will be generated to identify and label interesting features or patterns  within the data. This will be done through a process of open coding, allowing for a wide range of potential themes to emerge. Researcher will look for patterns and connections between codes to identify overarching themes that capture the essence of the data. Repeating themes will be reviewed and refined to ensure they accurately represent the data. Later, may go back and forth between the data and identifies themes, adjusting and refining as needed. The final step will involve writing a comprehensive report that presents the findings, supported by quotes from the data, and provides a coherent and compelling narrative. The result of the study will help the healthcare professionals to formulate a more effective and tailored intervention for managing post stroke fatigue during rehabilitation .The study findings will be communicated through academic presentations, conferences, and possible publication in peer-reviewed publications.
