---|---|---|---|
Intervention characteristics | Relative advantage | Intervention seen as beneficial to patients | “The patients have got somebody to talk to who’s neutral, they are not going to talk to their family because they do not want to worry them” |
Design quality and packaging | Delivering sessions weekly | “Sessions being once a week works well to help maintain rapport” | |
Holding AC sessions in patients’ home | “Sessions at home were easier because there’s lots of pictures and postcards, you can be more natural asking questions” | ||
Characteristics of individuals | Self-efficacy | Existing skills and previous experience | “Used to emotional aspects and sensitive issues from working with patients on the wards so able to deal with these” |
Confidence increased with experience during the study | “More comfortable with patients now than I was when we started with the practice patients” | ||
Inner setting | Relative priority | Value of study | “Psychological services within stroke is very important and is often overlooked and I think that any form of research which looks into that and raises the awareness of that is good” |
Process | Executing | Supervision from study team | “Supervisors have been very good… have found it useful to be able to email and ask what to do if unsure about things” |
