Plymouth University are conducting a pilot study that aims to explore experiences of appearance-related changes in adults after a stroke and understand how these changes have affected social interactions. Our aim is to develop a questionnaire which can be used in the community to help identify those who need extra support due to appearance-related changes following their stroke.
We would like to hear about your experiences of appearance-related changes by completing our questionnaire. The questionnaire will ask you about your stroke, your wellbeing, your appearance and appearance-related changes. There is also a section which asks you to comment on the questionnaire itself and how well it fits with your experiences.
To take part you need to be at least one year post your stroke, and to have experienced some change to your appearance as a result of your stroke.
If you feel you are interested in this study and meet the participant criteria and would like to participate or request further information, please feel free to contact the principal investigators Alyson Norman or Sue Jackson at: alyson.norman@plymouth.ac.uk or hellosue@suejackson.me.uk
