This experimental design will assess the feasibility \& initial effectiveness of PRO-MAMAS (promoting participation, health and wellbeing through meaningful maternal-role activities after stroke and other chronic conditions) - a novel occupational therapy intervention program to promote participation, health and wellbeing of older mothers with chronic stroke. Assessments will be conducted at three time points: baseline, pre, post the Pro-MAMA intervention

This study aims to test the feasibility and initial effectiveness of PRO-MAMAS (promoting participation, health and wellbeing through meaningful maternal-role activities after stroke and other chronic conditions) in improving participation, health and wellbeing among older community dwelling mothers with chronic stroke and other chronic conditions. PRO-MAMAS is a group intervention that aims to promote the health and wellbeing of older mothers with chronic stroke and other chronic conditions by using meaningful maternal-role activities as a motivational mean for participation. The intervention will include group discussions and practice, analysis of facilitators and barriers for participation, and home exercise. PRO-MAMAS will focus on raising awareness to meaningful maternal-role activities, identifying facilitators and barriers for participation and problem solving to enhance meaningful participation.
