简要总结
Fatigue is a common complaint after stroke, reported by 39-72% of patients. Poststroke fatigue is related to poor neurological recovery, low level of activities of daily living, decreased quality of life and may possibly affect the ability to return to work. Little is known about strategies addressing post-stroke fatigue and their effectiveness.
Aim: to develop, test and evaluate a health promotion program based on strategies addressing poststroke fatigue.
详细描述
Fatigue is a common complaint after stroke, reported by 39-72% of patients. It has been shown that poststroke fatigue may be related to poor neurological recovery, low level of activities of daily living and decreased quality of life. However, little is known about strategies to address poststroke fatigue and the effectiveness of such strategies.
Objective The aim of the study is to develop a program based on strategies to address poststroke fatigue and to test and evaluate the program.
Material and Methods Intervention Mapping is the overall approach of the study. It describes a protocol for the development of theory- and evidence-based health promotion programmes.
Step 1) The program is developed based on a needs assessment. Existing knowledge about physical, psychosocial and environmental factors associated with poststroke fatigue is mapped in a literature review.
Step 2) The program will be tested in a pilot study (controlled trial). In addition to conventional treatment, the patients in the intervention group will participate in the program for a period of 12 weeks. The control group will receive conventional treatment only.

结局指标
主要结局
Multidimensional Fatigue Inventory 20
时间窗: Change from baseline in MFI-20 at 3 and 6 months
The multidimensional Fatigue Inventory 20 is a multidimensional fatigue score covering five dimensions of fatigue: General Fatigue, Physical Fatigue, Mental Fatigue, Reduced Motivation and Activity. Pathologic Fatigue is defined as a score ≥ 12 on the General Fatigue dimension.
次要结局
- The general self-efficacy scale(Change from baseline in the generel self-efficacy scale at 3 and 6 months)
