Abstract: Study examined the feasibility of study procedures and the potential efficacy of Occupational Performance Coaching for stroke survivors (OPC–Stroke), an intervention designed to improve participation after stroke. Twenty-one participants were randomized to receive the intervention or usual care. Recruitment, retention, attendance, and outcome measure completion rates were calculated to assess feasibility. Direction of change and effect sizes were examined for the outcomes of participation, goal performance and satisfaction, goal self-efficacy, emotional well-being, and cognition to examine potential efficacy. Rates of recruitment (66 percent) and retention (81 percent) were satisfactory. Participation scores improved for both groups with different trajectories. Results showed a moderate effect of OPC–Stroke for goal performance and satisfaction and a large effect for cognition. Other outcome measures did not change as expected. Study procedures were generally feasible. Preliminary findings support testing to examine the efficacy of OPC–Stroke.
