The overall project aim is to profile and understand loneliness in stroke. At present there is no measurement tool that has been specifically designed to assess the unique aspect of loneliness in stroke survivors, and therefore existing measures of loneliness may fail to adequately capture the range of unique experiences to stroke.
If you would be willing to assist us we would love to interview you about your personal experiences of stroke and loneliness, and about important factors that could be associated. The interview should last no longer than one hour and can be conducted at a date, time and place convenient for you. Should you be willing to assist us in this project you will receive £10 plus a University notebook as remuneration for your time.
