Background:
About half of those that have had stroke in working age return to work (RTW). Few rehabilitation programmes exist focussing RTW after stroke.
Aim:
To produce a clear replicable description of the ReWork-Stroke rehabilitation programme targeting RTW for people of working age who have had stroke.
Materials And Methods:
The Template for Intervention Description and Replication 12 item checklist was used to describe the ReWork-Stroke programme developed 2013-2014. This paper presents the development, rationale and processes in the programme to enable replication and provide evidence for implementation.
Results:
Occupational therapists (OTs) skilled in stroke rehabilitation contribute knowledge about consequences of stroke and coordinate stakeholders involved. The ReWork-Stroke is person-centred, includes individual plans and generic components, consists of a preparation and a work trial phase. During the preparation phase, resources and hindrances for RTW are mapped and a plan for work trial is elaborated. During the work trial phase, the intervention is located at the workplace. The OT conducts recurrent follow-ups and collaborates with employers/co-workers.
Conclusions:
A person-centred programme has advantages in its flexibility to meet different needs between people and by this thorough description of ReWork-Stroke, others can replicate the programme and its fidelity and evidence can be strengthened.
