Abstrakt: Older adults who live in the community often report decreased levels of social and leisure participation following stroke. A qualitative study using open-ended, focused interviews was conducted with a sample of 12 older adult stroke survivors. This study aimed to explore how often older adult stroke survivors participate in social and leisure activities, the meaning(s) associated with this participation and the factors felt to hinder or contribute to this participation. The first part of the article provides the background and methodology to the study. Part two, published in the following issue, details the findings from the interviews and provides discussion.
