There is an urgent need for educational and psychological adjustment to stimulate the post-stroke patients' motivation to actively carry out rehabilitation. Studies have shown that interventions based on character strengths are widely used in chronic disease patients abroad, and have achieved the effect of improving the physical and mental health. However, research on individualized character strengths in stroke patient intervention is limited, and more clinical evidence is needed. This study is based on personality theory and the application of character strengths-based STEP programme (CSSTEP) in stroke patients. The investigators hypothesized that the CSSTEP programme could help stroke patients to improve mental state, cognitive function, and better gait performance, suffer from less post-stroke depression, enhance their post-stroke self-confidence.
