Abstract:
UNASSIGNED: Individuals with stroke face a distinct set of challenges, barriers and facilitators that need to be understood to streamline efficacy of stroke clinical trials and improve participant retention. Few long-term stroke rehabilitation trials have evaluated participant perception of their laboratory experience.
UNASSIGNED: We collected data regarding trial satisfaction from 33 individuals with stroke who participated in 12 sessions of treadmill training which included pre, post and follow-up non-invasive brain stimulation and clinical assessments. We evaluated factors such as overall trial satisfaction, burden of testing, perceived benefits, perceived barriers, and perceived support using a participant satisfaction questionnaire (PSQ) that assessed participants\' overall trial experience.
UNASSIGNED: 97% of our participants found participating in the study to be rewarding and would recommend it to other persons with stroke. Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) testing was found to be the major perceived burden of participation while travelling to the lab was found to be the major perceived barrier to participation. Significant correlations were found between various items of the PSQ and clinical assessments.
UNASSIGNED: This study helped us get a preliminary perspective into the benefits and barriers faced by persons with stroke enrolled in a 4-week long clinical trial. We observed that participant satisfaction was driven by various factors including functional status, personal relevance to the research, perceptive physical and mental health improvements, interaction with research personnel, and ease of testing protocols.
摘要:
中风的人面临着一系列独特的挑战,需要了解的障碍和促进因素,以简化卒中临床试验的疗效并提高参与者的保留率。很少有长期中风康复试验评估参与者对其实验室经验的看法。
我们收集了33名中风患者的试验满意度数据,他们参加了12次跑步机训练,术后和随访非侵入性脑刺激和临床评估。我们评估了总体试验满意度、测试负担,感知到的好处,感知障碍,和使用参与者满意度问卷(PSQ)评估参与者的整体试验经验的感知支持。
97%的参与者发现参与这项研究是有益的,并将其推荐给其他中风患者。经颅磁刺激(TMS)测试被认为是参与的主要负担,而前往实验室被认为是参与的主要障碍。在PSQ和临床评估的各个项目之间发现了显着的相关性。
这项研究帮助我们初步了解参加为期4周的临床试验的卒中患者所面临的益处和障碍。我们观察到参与者满意度是由各种因素驱动的,包括功能状态,个人与研究的相关性,感知身体和心理健康的改善,与研究人员的互动,和易于测试的协议。
