Sex Differences in Enrolment, Adherence, and Satisfaction in Canadian Stroke Telerehabilitation Studies.
• Women with stroke are underrepresented in virtual rehabilitation trials. • Men and women with stroke have similar adherence and satisfaction to virtual rehabilitation programs with different areas of intervention foci including exercise and chronic disease self-management. • Greater emphasis shoul...

To determine sex-based differences in: (1) enrolment, adherence, and satisfaction in telerehabilitation programs for individuals with stroke in Canada; (2) adherence and satisfaction outcomes in exercise and self-management intervention subgroups. Cross-sectional study. Telerehabilitation for community-dwelling individuals with stroke. Enrolment (n (%) men, women), adherence (# sessions completed/total # sessions), and program satisfaction (5-point Likert scale program satisfaction survey administered) were used from 3 telerehabilitation trials. Wilcoxon rank-sum tests were used to determine sex differences in exercise-based (participants included in analyses: n=57 adherence; n=54 satisfaction total participants included in analyses) or self-management (n=87 adherence; n=77 satisfaction) programs. Not applicable. Enrolment for men was more than 2-fold higher than that for woman across all studies (n=149 [67.4%] vs 72 [32.6%]). Adherence was similar between men and women with most participants completing 100% [interquartile range, 0] of sessions for the total sample (P =.13, Z =1.52), and for exercise (P =.16, Z =1.41) and self-management subgroups (P =.13, Z =1.52). Overall satisfaction with the telerehabilitation programs were similar between sexes for the total sample (P =.46, Z =0.75), and in exercise (P =.82, Z =0.23) and self-management (P =.49, Z =0.69) subgroups. Enrolment among men outnumbered women more than 2-fold, despite the similar number of stroke events between sexes. There were no sex differences for adherence or satisfaction across programs or with different areas of intervention foci. Emphasis should be placed on promoting recruitment of women with stroke. We provided potential strategies based on observations in the current study. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: research Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
