A Theory-driven Visual Arts-based Intervention for Community-dwelling Stroke Survivors

A Theory-driven Visual Arts-based Intervention on Psychosocial Outcomes Among Community-dwelling Chinese Stroke Survivors

Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 11 Sept 2025

Brief summary (registry, in English)

Stroke leads to psychosocial issues for community-dwelling stroke survivors in their recovery journey. Previous studies showed the benefits of visual arts-based interventions in enhancing self-efficacy and psychosocial functions. However, the interventions were not well designed with a theoretical framework. This study will evaluate the effectiveness of a theory-driven visual arts-based intervention on community-dwelling stroke survivors' psychosocial outcomes. A two-arm randomised controlled trial will be conducted to test the effects of this intervention and assess its feasibility in the community.
