Person-centredness is described as essential in stroke rehabilitation, where the complexity of the condition can result in diverse effects on everyday life. The F@ce-intervention aims to support home-based stroke rehabilitation through person-centred goal setting. To identify goals related to personally relevant activities of everyday life, the Canadian Occupational Performance Measure is used, and strategies for goal achievement and problem-solving are discussed with the team. The intervention also utilises information- and communication technology (ICT) in the form of SMSs to support goal achievement. However, there is a lack of research on how ICT support can be devised to be compatible with a person-centred practice.  Method: Twelve participants (7 men, and 5 women) were included and interviewed individually 1-2 weeks after the end of the intervention and again at 6 months after inclusion. A reflexive thematic analysis was used.  Result: Three themes were developed; Setting personally relevant goals requires a trusting relationship, To be supportive, SMSs need to be integrated into the rehabilitation process and Support from the team is essential for recapturing daily activities after stroke. Discussion: When listening to the participants, it became clear that building a trusting relationship with the team was essential for the intervention to be person-centred. The interviews did however highlight a potential tension in person-centred goal setting between building on the lived experience of people with stroke and meeting their desire to be guided by experts. Participants also expressed that the team sometimes needed to be present during rehabilitation and could not be replaced with mobile phone support. In conclusion, the results indicate that when ICT support is based on person-centred goal setting it can be used as a complement in stroke rehabilitation to support goal achievement.
