Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study evaluated the feasibility and acceptability of using a SystemCHANGE intervention in older adult stroke survivors to improve medication adherence. Half the participants will receive the SystemCHANGE intervention, while the other half will receive the attention-control education intervention.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

SystemCHANGE™

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

SystemCHANGE™

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

During the intervention phase, the PI will visit both groups of participants at home at baseline and telephone them three times (day 3 ±2 days and months 1 and 2). Refer to tables 1 and 2 for intervention details. Treatment participants will implement SystemCHANGE™ activities related to medication taking with the assistance of the PI while attention-control participants will receive patient education materials on stroke. Perceived health data will be collected during the intervention phase. A 1-month maintenance phase follows the intervention phase. Electronic medication monitoring continues, but no intervention is delivered to either group.

Attention-Control

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Attention-Control

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

An experienced stroke nurse will deliver the attention control intervention. Table 3.2 shows the 2-month attention-control intervention. The stroke materials were developed by the Saint Luke's Marion Bloch Neuroscience Institute and are given to every stroke patient prior to dismissal. The PI will call participants at day 3 ±2 days, and months 1 and 2 to review chapter(s) from the book and answer questions about it. Interval, frequency, and setting are all exactly the same for the intervention and control groups. If the control participant raises questions about medications or medication-taking, PI will refer them to their Neurologist.
