We
are currently recruiting participants for a study entitled GRIT: How
much do survivors of Stroke and their
caregivers have? GRIT is defined as perseverance and passion for
long-term goals. The goal of this study is to learn about the grit
experiences of patients who have survived stroke and the grit
experiences of their caregivers. The results of this study may
help us better understand how GRIT contributes to the recovery and
community reintegration process. We also wonder how GRIT among
caregivers influences successful community reintegration.
The
study consists of 2 phases – an online survey and an optional
interview. In the first phase, participants
will be asked to complete a single online survey. We anticipate that
the total time commitment of this survey to be approximately 20 - 30
minutes. Phase 2 is optional. It consists of an interview about grit
experiences with reaching goals after having a stroke.
The interview is expected to last between 45-60 minutes.
Expedited
status has been received for this study (#0012-2017) from the Briar
Cliff University Institutional
Review Board. Completion of the survey in all or in part will be
interpreted as consent to participate in the study. Respondents will be
anonymous to the researchers for phase one. Demographic data will be
analyzed and disseminated in aggregate. For phase
2 interviews, participants may choose a pseudonym for a name.
