Feasibility and Acceptability of StimolIrpinia for Cognitive Rehabilitation After Severe Acquired Brain Injury
Condition(s) studied
Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)
StimolIrpinia-supported cognitive rehabilitation activities: StimolIrpinia is a multimedia repository of autobiographical and territorially relevant stimuli from the Irpinia area, including images, videos, iconographic materials, cultural information, local landmarks, traditional foods, and links to virtual exploration tools. The repository is not a medical device and does not provide autonomous therapeutic, diagnostic, or decision-support functions. Patients will receive six 30-minute sessions over two weeks. During each session, the operator will select multimedia materials and exercises according to the patient's life experiences, familiarity with the Irpinia area, and cognitive profile. Activities may include memory exercises, language exercises, spatial orientation tasks, autobiographical memory stimulation, recognition tasks, and gnosic activities. All patients will continue their routine comprehensive rehabilitation program.
Study summary
This single-center pilot study evaluates the feasibility, acceptability, usability, and preliminary stimulus validation of StimolIrpinia, a multimedia repository of culturally and territorially relevant autobiographical stimuli designed to support cognitive rehabilitation activities in patients with severe acquired brain injury (sABI). The repository includes images, videos, maps, local cultural information, and printable materials related to the Irpinia area in Campania, Italy. Healthy adult volunteers will review the stimuli for their ability to evoke autobiographical memories, familiarity, emotional activation, and pleasantness. Hospitalized patients with sABI will complete six 30-minute StimolIrpinia-supported rehabilitation sessions over two weeks in addition to their routine comprehensive rehabilitation program. Rehabilitation professionals will receive standardized training and will use the repository to personalize cognitive rehabilitation exercises. Usability and acceptability will be evaluated from both patient and operator perspectives.
Eligibility
Primary outcome measure(s)
- Patient-reported System Usability Scale score for StimolIrpinia — Day 15, after completion of the 2-week intervention
Usability of StimolIrpinia from the patient perspective will be assessed using the System Usability Scale. The System Usability Scale total score ranges from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating greater perceived usability. - Healthcare professional-reported System Usability Scale score for StimolIrpinia — After completion of each healthcare professional's assigned StimolIrpinia sessions, up to 12 months
Usability of StimolIrpinia from the healthcare professional perspective will be assessed using the System Usability Scale. The System Usability Scale total score ranges from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating greater perceived usability.
