- Abstract
People post-stroke are at risk of not being able to participate in valued activities. It is important that rehabilitation professionals prepare people post-stroke for the transition home and provide needed support when they live at home. Several authors have suggested that members of the broad social network should play an active role in rehabilitation. This includes informing them about the importance of activity (re)engagement post-stroke and learning strategies to provide support. It is not clear when and how the broad social network can best be equipped to provide adequate activity support. This study aimed to explore stroke professionals' perspectives on strategies that establish a social network that supports activity (re)engagement of people post-stroke, when strategies are best implemented, and the factors that influence the implementation of these strategies.
