Pilot Study to Evaluate the Effect of MBSR on Motor Learning, Attention, and Quality of Life in Stroke Patients and Their Relatives- a Monocentric Study

ASPA (Attention and Performance Self-Assessment)

时间窗: 5min

The purpose of the self-assessment questionnaire ASPA is to evaluate and analyse a person's memory and attention that is necessary in everyday tasks.

Motor Activity LOG (MAL)

时间窗: Time of performance: ca. 15 min

The MAL is a scripted structured interview to measure real-works upper extremity function. Patients have to assess their capabilities of the upper limb in terms of 1. How often do they use the affected limb in their everyday live and 2. How would they evaluate the quality of the use? (Taub et al, 2011)

EQ-5D

时间窗: 5 min

EQ-5D is a standardised measure of health status developed by the EuroQol Group in order to provide a simple, generic measure of health for clinical and economic appraisal. EQ-5D is designed for self-completion by respondents and is ideally suited for use in postal surveys, in clinics, and in face-to-face interviews. It is cognitively undemanding, taking only a few minutes to complete. Instructions to respondents are included in the questionnaire (Oemar et al., 2013)

Burden Scale of family caregivers BSFC (Häusliche Pflegeskala) only caregivers

时间窗: 10min

The Burden Scale of Family Caregivers (BSFC) is a 28-item questionnaire developed ot measure the levels of perceived burden of family caregivers. The BSFC is designed for use * to identify individual caregiver service needs, plan intervention, and evaluate progress in clinical practice. * to evaluate service effectiveness of a program and to predict caregiver health and caregiving situation in research studies.

Wolf Motor Function Test

时间窗: 20min

The Wolf Motor Function Test (WMFT) quantifies upper extremity (UE) motor ability through timed and functional tasks (Wolf et al., 1995). The first 6 items involve timed functional tasks, items 7-14 are measures of strength, and the remaining 9 items consist of analyzing movement quality when completing various tasks. Performance is rated on a scale (Wolf et al., 2005) from 1("does not attempt with UE being tested") to 6 ("appears normal"). Lower scores indicate lower functioning levels. Since a maximum of 120 s is allocated to each item, it is estimated to take approximately 30 min with additional time for measuring grip strength (item 14).

WHOQoL-BREF (for patients and caregivers)

时间窗: 20 min

The WHOQOL-BREF instrument comprises 26 items, which measure the following broad domains: physical health, psychological health, social relationships, and environment. The WHOQOL-BREF is a shorter version of the original instrument that may be more convenient for use in large research studies or clinical trials. The WHOQOL-BREF self-assessment was completed, together with socio-demographic and health status questions. Analyses of internal consistency, item-total correlations, discriminant validity and construct validity through confirmatory factor analysis, indicate that the WHOQOL-BREF has well to excellent psychometric properties of reliability and performs well in preliminary tests of validity. These results indicate that overall, the WHOQOL-BREF is a sound, cross-culturally valid assessment of QOL (Skevington et al, 2004).

Assessment of Motor and Process Skills (AMPS)

时间窗: 50min

The purpose of the AMPS is to evaluate a person's quality of performance of personal or instrumental activities of daily living (ADL) by observing the person doing the task (e.g. cooking a pancake, put on socks, etc.) The AMPS is used to test a person in a relevant and familiar environment as he or she performs ADL tasks that have been prioritized by the client. It measures the degree to which a person's ADL task performances are free of increased clumsiness or physical effort, decreased efficiency, safety risk, and/or need for assistance. It is possible to score the quality of 16 ADL motor and 20 ADL process performance skills and facilitate occupation-focused documentation and occupation-based intervention planning.

Pictorial Representation of Illness and Self Measure (PRISM) (patients and caregivers)

时间窗: 10min

The PRISM is a tool used to represent the burden of an illness graphically.in relation to oneself and one's life measured with the Self-Illness-Separation (SIS) instrument (Streffer et al., 2009; Kassardjian et al., 2008)
