Abstract: Study evaluated the Improving Participation after Stroke Self-Management Program (IPASS) to improve self-efficacy and participation in everyday life activities for individuals living with the long-term consequences of stroke. A multisite, single-blind, exploratory randomized clinical study was conducted with 185 participants with mild-to-moderate chronic stroke. Participants were randomized either to receive the IPASS intervention immediately or to a wait list control group. The assessment was completed pre- and post-intervention and at 6-9 months post-intervention follow-up. The primary outcome assessments included measures of self-efficacy to manage chronic health conditions and to participate in everyday life activities. The results show that there was significant short-term increase in health-related self-efficacy both within-group and between-groups in managing chronic conditions which were retained at follow-up; the average effect size was 0.46, indicating moderate effect overall. Further, a significant short-term increase was found in participation self-efficacy, with an overall moderate effect size of 0.55. These results provide early support for the use of IPASS to help improve self-efficacy to manage health behaviors and to improve participation post-stroke. Further investigation is warranted to confirm these findings with an active control group and a more sensitive outcome measure to capture participation changes.
