Outline of presentation Background The Goal setting & Action Planning (G-AP) framework: An overview Understanding community stroke rehabilitation contexts and routine goal setting practice: UK wide survey G-AP Vs routine practice: the same or different? Implications for research and practice
Background Stroke causes more complex disability than any other condition (Adamson, Journal of Stroke & Cerebrovascular Diseases 2004) 46% of stroke survivors require ongoing community rehabilitation (Sentinel Stroke National Audit Programme; National Results, 2015) Goal setting recommended in stroke clinical guidelines (Scottish Intercollegiate Guidelines Network 2010; Royal College of Physicians 2016) Stroke survivors living at home have important goals they hope to achieve (Struggling to Recover, Stroke Association 2012) However, many report unmet needs & emotional difficulties (Unmet needs Survey; Stroke Association 2010)
The G-AP framework: An overview
Why develop a practice framework? Theory based goal setting practice framework Key stages How it works Replicable Testable Optimise goal setting practice Patient centred Theory/ evidence based Team approach Optimise stroke survivor recovery Goal attainment Rehabilitation outcomes Development and Evaluation
Theories relevant to the goal setting process Goal Setting Theory (Latham & Locke); Health Action Process Approach (Schwarzer; Sniehotta); Social Cognition Theory (Bandura) Common constructs Motivational phase Development of goal intentions Goal setting Action phase Initiation & maintenance of goal behaviour Self efficacy Outcome expectancies Goal specificity Goal difficulty Plans Appraisal/ Feedback (Scobbie et al, Clinical Rehabilitation, 23(4) 2009)
G-AP: Two case study examples Scobbie, L., et al. (2011) Clinical Rehabilitation; 25(5). Scobbie, L., et al. (2013) BMC Health Services Research; 13(190).
G-AP Framework Jenny I'm not talking clearly; get back to work Phone local pool to find out weekend swim times Coping Plan Bullet point list Confidence 9/10 Phoned the pool as planned Speak clearly on the phone G-AP SS held record Discuss and agree on next action plan to work towards set goal Praise success self efficacy Incremental skill improvement Jenny managed phone call, Felt good about it
G-AP Framework Pete Getting back to work is really important Sit driving assessment Coping Plan No barriers Confidence 10/10 Sat driving assessment as planned Get back to driving Decide not to pursue driving goal for the time being Provide support Understand and accept limitations Goal reappraisal Info not coming in quick enough Disappointed
Evaluate G-AP Vs usual GS practice Research Questions: I. What is the nature of community rehabilitation contexts in which G-AP could be delivered? II. What does usual goal setting practice look like in these settings?

Summary G-AP is designed to optimise goal setting practice & stroke survivor recovery in community rehabilitation settings There is strong theoretical rationale and developing evidence base to support inclusion of key stages of G-AP in practice Teams delivering stroke rehabilitation in the community are complex (e.g. service model; staff profile; patient mix) Usual goal setting practice is highly variable & potentially suboptimal (e.g. planning, goal adjustment; accessible copy of goals/ plans)
Implications for research & practice Does G-AP offer any added value over usual goal setting practice effectiveness How can G-AP (or any other goal setting intervention) be delivered in different team settings with individual stroke survivors implementation Goal attainment and goal adjustment can enhance recovery outcomes
