Feasibility, Fidelity and Acceptability of a Person-Centred Care Transition Support Intervention for Stroke Survivors: A Non-Randomised Controlled Study.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it

Abstract
backgroundCare transitions from hospital to home are a critical period for patients and their families, especially after a stroke. The aim of this study was to assess the feasibility, fidelity and acceptability of a co-designed care transition support for stroke survivors.
methodsA non-randomised controlled feasibility study recruiting patients who had had stroke and who were to be discharged home and referred to a neurorehabilitation team in primary healthcare was conducted. Data on the feasibility of recruitment and fidelity of the intervention were collected continuously during the study with screening lists and checklists. Data on the perceived quality of care transition were collected at 1-week post-discharge with the Care Transition Measure. Data on participant characteristics, disease-related data and outcomes were collected at baseline (hospitalisation), 1 week and 3 months post-discharge. Data on the acceptability of the intervention from the perspective of healthcare professionals were collected at 3 months using the Normalisation Measure Development Questionnaire.
resultsAltogether, 49 stroke survivors were included in the study: 28 in the intervention group and 21 in the control group. The recruitment and data collection of patient characteristics, disease-related data, functioning and outcomes were feasible. The fidelity of the intervention differed in relation to the different components of the co-designed care transition support. The intervention was acceptable from the perspective of healthcare professionals. Concerns were raised about the fidelity of the intervention. A positive direction of effects of the intervention on the perceived quality of the care transition was found.
conclusionThe study design, data collection, procedures and intervention were deemed feasible and acceptable. Modifications are needed to improve intervention fidelity by supporting healthcare professionals to apply the intervention. The feasibility study showed a positive direction of effect on perceived quality with the care transition, but a large-scale trial is needed to determine its effectiveness. PATIENT OR PUBLIC CONTRIBUTION: Stroke survivors, significant others and healthcare professionals were involved in a co-design process, including the joint development of the intervention's components, contextual factors to consider, participant needs and important outcomes to target.
