Peer-coaching interventions for stroke survivors - what works and how: A scoping review

Key Points

The review aims to clarify the definitions and characteristics of peer-coaching interventions for stroke survivors.
Conducted a scoping review of existing literature on peer-coaching interventions.
Analyzed the variations in definitions and outcomes across studies.
Proposed a standardized definition to characterize interventions more consistently.
Identified inconsistencies in peer-coaching definitions and outcomes among studies.
Developed a foundational framework to guide future peer-coaching interventions for stroke survivors.
Highlighted the need for systematic support tailored to individuals with stroke.

Abstract

Current post-stroke peer-coaching interventions demonstrated inconsistency across definitions, characteristics, and outcomes. To address the inconsistency, this review established a definition that outlines foundational conceptual parameters of the intervention. This proposed definition can serve as a standardised framework to inform the development of future interventions and ensure the provision of systematic support to individuals with stroke.
