Summary

This study tests a 6-week virtual program called PVI that helps young stroke survivors build personal resources through inclusive volunteering. Researchers want to see if it improves work ability, self-confidence, and emotional well-being. 160 participants aged 18-64 who had a stroke and have been unemployed for at least 3 months will be randomly assigned to the program or usual care.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: Personal Resource Building and Inclusive Volunteering Intervention (PVI) - a 6-week virtual behavioral program
What this could lead to: If it works, this program could help young stroke survivors regain confidence and skills to return to work, improving their quality of life.
What could go wrong: This is a relatively small early-stage trial (160 people) testing a behavioral intervention, so results may not apply to everyone. The program is virtual and may not suit all participants.
