Abstract
Psychological wellebeing and quality of life are frequently affected following stroke and transient ischaemic attack (TIA). Evidence suggests that psychological interventions post diagnosis can benefit individuals' mental health and physical wellbeing. The COVID-19 pandemic has meant that alternatives to traditional face-to-face interventions have come to the forefront. Remote delivery of psychological interventions can be feasible, but it is unclear whether they are best suited for group-based programmes. To our knowledge, no previous review has specifically examined the remote delivery of group psychological interventions in TIA/stroke. This scoping review intends to identify the current evidence and delivery formats of online group-based psychological and psychoeducational interventions for people after TIA and stroke.
This review follows the PRISMA Extension for Scoping Reviews. Four electronic databases were searched (April 2022) for articles on online group-based psychological/psychoeducational interventions delivered in digital formats through web- and app-based methods. Four reviewers conducted the screening process, with a fifth resolving any disagreements. Screening will be completed in June 2022.
Initial searches yielded 748 results. It is expected that six to eight papers will be included. As the review is underway, full results will be available at the conference.
Findings summarise the published evidence on remotely-delivered group psychological interventions in TIA and stroke. This review will inform the development of future online psychological interventions for stroke/TIA and enable us to identify potential barriers and facilitators to implementation. Practice-based recommendations and future directions of research in this area will be presented.
