HOT NORTH PILOT PROJECTS - RND 4 - Translation of a culturally responsive stroke rehabilitation service for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples into a real-world setting in northern Australia: a hybrid effectiveness implementation study (Old ID 25052)
Role
Collaborator
Description
An evidence-based communication intervention will be implemented in the real world setting at Wuchopperen Health Services (WHS) in Cairns. Eight stroke survivors will participate in 24 sessions across a 12-week period, delivered by a speech pathologist in partnership with an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Allied Health Assistant (AHA). Individually tailored activities will be undertaken within a 'yarning' framework, with family involvement, and culturally relevant resources. Change in everyday communication and barriers and enablers to implementation will be assessed. This study will prepare for full-scale implementation of the service model and reduce health disadvantage for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians.
