简要总结
This project will investigate effects of a novel theory-driven 6-week virtual Personal Resource Building and Inclusive Volunteering Intervention (PVI) on young stroke survivors' work ability, self-efficacy and psychosocial outcomes.
It is hypothesised that participants in the intervention group, compared with the control group, will demonstrate the outcomes below at immediately and 3 months post-intervention with respect to baseline: 1) Significant improvement in work ability (primary outcome), 2) Significant improvements in self-efficacy, health-related quality of life (HRQoL), emotional well-being and social skills (secondary outcomes).
Eligible participants will be randomly assigned to receive usual care or PVI with usual care and the control group participants will receive usual stroke care services.
详细描述
Returning to work is a major rehabilitation priority for young stroke survivors. This project will investigate effects of a novel theory-driven 6-week virtual Personal Resource Building and Inclusive Volunteering Intervention (PVI) on young stroke survivors' work ability, self-efficacy and psychosocial outcomes. A 2-arm, assessor-blind, randomised controlled trial will be conducted. Eligible participants will be randomly assigned to receive usual care or PVI with usual care and the control group participants will receive usual stroke care services. Outcomes including work ability, self-efficacy, health-related quality of life, emotional well-being and social skills will be measured at baseline, immediately post-PVI and 3 months post-PVI.

研究组 & 干预措施
Personal Resource Building and Inclusive Volunteering Intervention (PVI)
All participants in the intervention group will receive the intervention (PVI) in addition to usual care. PVI is a 6-week virtual programme aimed at building up young stroke survivors' personal resources for work through engaging in inclusive volunteering activities.

干预措施: Usual care (Other)
结局指标
主要结局
Change in the level of perceived work ability
时间窗: Change from baseline level to three months after completion of the intervention
The Work Ability Index (Chinese version) will assess participants' perceived capability for work. It consists of 7 dimensions about participants' self-reported current work ability compared with the lifetime best. Total score is yielded by summing all items (range: 7-49): poor (7-27), moderate (28-36), good (37-43), and excellent (44-49) work ability.
次要结局
- Change in the level of self-efficacy(Change from baseline level to three months after completion of the intervention)
- Change in the level of health-related quality of life(Change from baseline level to three months after completion of the intervention)
- Change in the level of social skills(Change from baseline level to three months after completion of the intervention)
- Change in the level of emotional well-being(Change from baseline level to three months after completion of the intervention)
