Brief Summary

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

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.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

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.
