Scientific title | Return To Work after stroke: a feasibility randomised controlled trial (RCT) and economic analysis |
Study acronym | RTW |
Study objectives | This investigation aims to work with people with stroke and their employers to develop a model of vocational rehabilitation for people with recent stroke, define and cost the components of this model of vocational rehabilitation and establish the most appropriate measures of 'intangible' benefit (quality of life, well-being, self efficacy, stroke impact) for this intervention so that the intervention can be evaluated formally in a randomised controlled trial using both cost-effectiveness and cost benefit as outcomes. |
Ethics approval(s) | Leicestershire, Northamptonshire and Rutland Research Ethics Committee 1, 19/05/2010, ref: 10/H0406/21 |
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studied | Stroke |
Intervention | Stroke specific vocational rehabilitation (intervention arm): The interventional arm involves an individually tailored process of case management, liaison, guidance and counselling, coaching, mentoring and occupational therapy delivered on a one to one basis by our research occupational therapist. The total contact will vary between clients depending on their specific difficulties and clinical needs but we would generally expect less than 10 sessions per client. The vocational rehabilitation intervention is based on a developing evidence base - with good quality research previously conducted employing this approach to the treatment of clients with other long term neurological conditions and we are now testing this approach's efficacy as applied to supporting stroke survivors. Treatment as usual (control arm): The treatment as usual arm involves full and active participation in NHS, Social services, or 3rd sector provision just as the patient would receive anyway irrespective of trial participation. Follow up for both arms is at 3 and 6 months only. |
