We would like to talk to families impacted by stroke. We want to interview all family members where a parent has had a stroke, including parents, co-parents and children (over 3 years)
The STARS – Surviving and Thriving AfteR Stroke study aims to understand the impact of stroke on families. We also want to identify current practices stroke clinicians use to support families where a parent has a stroke. There is a lack of research in this area, and we are trying to determine what needs are not currently being addressed and what health professionals can do to improve outcomes for families. This study has been ethically approved by the University of Technology Sydney.
We would like to talk to families impacted by stroke. We want to interview all family members where a parent has had a stroke, including parents, co-parents and children (over 3 years). Families can live anywhere in Australia. We can interview families online and where possible, in person. Families impacted by stroke can call Rebecca El-Helou at Rebecca.El-Helou@uts.edu.au for more information.
We also want to hear from stroke health professionals about their experiences of providing services to families where a parent has had a stroke. We will conduct online focus groups or interviews to collect this information. Stroke health professionals can call Jasvinder Sekhon at Jasvinder.Sekhon@uts.edu.au for more information
