What this Trial Is About
The aim of this randomized controlled trial (RCT) is to investigate whether cognitive job accommodation intervention enhances return to work, work ability and performance after ischemic stroke in working-age population. The main questions are: * Does the cognitive job accommodation intervention affect absenteeism and presenteeism after stroke? * Does the intervention affect work ability and perceived cognitive and emotional difficulties at work? * Does the intervention decrease mental strain, fatigue and negative mood symptoms after return to work? * Does the intervention affect life satisfaction among the stroke patients returning to work? Researchers will compare the intervention group to a control group returning to work after stroke with current healthcare practices and work procedures. Participants: * At baseline, 6 and 12 month follow-up web-based questionnaires and cognitive tests are administered. * At 3 month follow-up participants fill in Brain Work Questionnaire (BWQ) that measures cognitive demands and difficulties at work.
