Who it’s for: Survivors of stroke, family members or carers, health professionals, health students
What it involves: Interview
Where: In-person SA

Summary:

Researchers from Flinders University are seeking feedback about a goal-setting app, called RehabChat, which has been designed to support people with stroke or brain injury to set rehabilitation goals and achieve these. RehabChat was co-designed with clinicians and people with brain injury.

The feedback gathered in this project about RehabChat will help guide how this app may be used in the future.

Eligibility:

Any of the following:

Adults living with stroke or brain injury, living in the community and able to use a hand-held or other type of computing device for the app.
Carers or family members for adults living with stroke or brain injury.
Health professionals providing rehabilitation care to adult clients with stroke or brain injury.
Health students studying at an Australian University who have completed a clinical placement in which they provided rehabilitation care for adult clients.

Activity:

Each participant will take part in a single feedback session of between 60–90 minutes with the researcher, to discuss goal-setting, and to use RehabChat and provide feedback on it.

The session will include:

completing two questionnaires
semi-structured interview questions about rehabilitation and goal setting
using the RehabChat app.

Locations in Adelaide include:

Flinders University sites (Tonsley, Bedford Park, Victoria Square, Repat Health Sciences Building), or alternatively, use of a private room in a public library.
