Does the Improving Participation after Stroke Self-Management Program (IPASS) improve self-efficacy and participation in post-stroke patients?
The IPASS program shows early promise in improving self-efficacy and participation in post-stroke patients, though further studies with active controls are needed.
These results provide early support for the use of IPASS to help improve self-efficacy to manage health behaviors and to improve participation post-stroke. Further investigation is warranted to confirm these findings with an active control group and a more sensitive outcome measure to capture participation changes.
Wolf et al. (2016) studied this question.
