Promoting Resilience in Stroke Survivor-carepartner Dyads (ReStoreD)
Sponsor: University of Utah
Summary
Affecting nearly 800,000 people in the US every year, stroke is a leading cause of long-term disability, and has serious consequences for stroke survivors and their carepartners. Our project uses a scientifically rigorous efficacy study to evaluate a remotely delivered 8-week dyadic (couples-based) positive psychology intervention to reduce emotional distress in stroke survivors and their carepartners. If successful, couples may be better emotionally equipped to cope with the sequelae of stroke, and have better rehabilitation outcomes and quality of life.

Interventions
ReStoreD
ReStoreD is a remotely-administered behavioral intervention in which couples coping with stroke learn and practice goal-setting, communication strategies, and positive psychology activities, such as expressing gratitude, finding meaning, and fostering connections. Participants are provided with 8 weekly modules, each featuring two components: 1) psychoeducational materials, such as an informational video and resources/links about a general topic related to resilience, coping, and/or overall well-being of the individual and couple, and 2) examples of positive psychology activities that relate to the week's theme or topic. Participants are asked to complete at least two positive psychology activities alone and two together each week.
