A feasibility study of a mobile phone supported family-centred activities of daily living (ADL) intervention, F@ce, after stroke in Uganda
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Introduction: The aim of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of: i) a mobile phone supported family-centred intervention, F@ce, ii) the study design for evaluating the effects of the intervention on the perceived impact of stroke, perceived participation in everyday life, and self-efficacy in everyday activities among persons with stroke and their families in Uganda. \nMethods: A pre-post design with an intervention group (IG) and a control group (CG) (n¼30). The inclusion criteria were: confirmed stroke diagnosis, access to and ability to use a mobile phone, able to express themselves in English and/or Luganda, >18 years of age, resident in Kampala and its surroundings <40 km, and a modified Rankin Scale level 2 to 4. The F@ce entailed goalsetting and problemsolving strategies intended to improve valued activities in everyday life. The participants received daily reminders of their goals by SMS. Data was collected at baseline and after 8 weeks. Primary outcomes were performance and satisfaction of valued daily activities in everyday life assessed using the Canadian Occupational Performance Measure (COPM), self-efficacy in performance of activities in daily life, and perceived impact of stroke. \nResults: There were differences between IG and CG in changes between baseline and follow-up in the primary outcomes in favour of IG. The SMS reminders and reports back to the occupational therapists functioned as planned with minor technical problems. \nConclusion: The results support the need to further evaluate the effects of F@ce since the intervention appears to be feasible for persons with stroke and family members with some technical \nadjustments.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
