About this trial
The goal of this interventional study is to assess whether a peer coaching intervention (PEER) can improve the well-being in individuals who experienced a stroke. The main questions it aims to answer are
1. Is the PEER intervention feasible and acceptable for the intervention recipients who receive the intervention? 2. Is the PEER intervention feasible and acceptable for the peer coaches who deliver the intervention? 3. Do intervention recipients show a higher level of quality of life at immediate, 4-week, and 8-week post-intervention? 4. Do intervention recipients display increases in measures of psycho-social-spiritual well-being at immediate, 4-week, and 8-week post-intervention? Peer coach participants will a) take training sessions, b) deliver 5 coaching sessions to an intervention recipient participant, c) complete surveys before training, after training, and after intervention delivery, and d) participate in a personal interview Intervention recipient participants will a) attend 5 coaching sessions delivered by a peer coach participant, b) complete surveys before intervention, immediately post intervention, 4-week post intervention, and 8 week post-intervention, and c) participate in a personal interview.

Treatments tested in this trial
Peer-Enriched Environment for Recovery (PEER)
BehavioralThe PEER intervention is a post-stroke peer coaching intervention. Participants who undergo this intervention will have 5 coaching sessions, which are delivered by trained peer coaches in-person. In each session, peer coaches will practice psychoeducation, experience sharing, and interactive activity, to provide intervention recipients with psychosocial support. Each coaching session will focus on a specific topic related to post-stroke recovery.

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
1
Mental well-being of intervention recipients
This outcome will be assessed by the Short Warwick Edinburgh Mental Well-being Scale (SWEMBS), a validated 7-item questionnaire designed to measure positive mental wellbeing with a 5-point Likert scale. Scores of this scale range from 7 to 35, where higher scores indicate better mental well-being.
Time frame
From enrollment to 8-week post intervention2
Psychological distress of intervention recipients
This outcome will be assessed by the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), a widely used 14-item questionnaire designed to detect anxiety and depression. Scores of this scale range from 0 to 21, where higher scores indicate higher levels of anxiety and depression.
Time frame
From enrollment to 8-week post intervention3
Hope of intervention recipients
This outcome will be assessed by the Herth Hope Index (HHI), a 12-item questionnaire developed to measure the level of hope. Scores of this scale range from 12 to 84, where higher scores indicate greater levels of hope.
Time frame
From enrollment to 8-week post intervention4
Resilience of intervention recipients
This outcome will be assessed by the Brief Resilience Scale (BRS), a 6-item measure designed to assess an individual's ability to bounce back or recover from stress, adversity, and challenging life circumstances. Scores of this scale range from 6 to 30, where higher scores indicate more resilience and a better ability to bounce back from stress and adversity.
