Co-Designed Digital Education and Peer Support for Young and Middle-Aged Stroke Survivors
A Co-Designed Digital Education and Peer Support Intervention for Reducing Unmet Needs and Enhancing Recovery Among Young and Middle-Aged Stroke Survivors
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 22 Oct 2026
Brief summary (registry, in English)
Stroke survivors often experience persistent unmet needs during long-term recovery. Young and middle-aged stroke survivors may face additional challenges in balancing rehabilitation with work and family responsibilities. Although digital health interventions have the potential to improve access to education and self-management support, existing programs are often provider-driven, provide limited peer support, and have short follow-up periods. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a patient-centered digital education and peer support intervention co-designed with young and middle-aged stroke survivors. Participants will be randomly assigned to either the intervention group or the usual care group. The intervention will be delivered through LINE communities and Google collaborative platforms over a 12-month period. The primary outcome is unmet needs. Secondary outcomes include stroke self-efficacy, depressive symptoms, quality of life, activities of daily living, instrumental activities of daily living, and return-to-work status.
