STROKE
This paper focused on evaluating the impact of FaCSignificant improvements at T2 and T3 with medium to large effect size values for FaCThe FaCOur study has several limitations. Our main limitation is that our control group did not receive an alternative intervention but rather received standard care. Therefore, although assessments pre, post, and at follow-up were administered, including defining occupational goals, the effects of meeting and talking with a supportive and compassionate therapist were not controlled for in this study. Participants were heterogeneous in terms of time since stroke, but most participants were in the chronic stage post stroke. Our 3-month follow-up period was relatively short; future research should include a longer follow-up period. We assessed the emotional and behavioral status and self-perception of individuals using subscales of acceptable assessments. Further research should also include full self-report questionnaires.
