Utilising interactive technology for stroke patient education: a systematic review
CONCLUSION: The paucity of evidence highlights a need for future studies to provide insights into the benefits of quality interactive technology-based stroke education and to identify options for optimal delivery modes in stroke education.PMID:36622858 | DOI:10.1080/17483107.2022.2161649

Association of a higher density of specialist neuroscience providers with fewer deaths from stroke in the United States population.
Conclusions Higher density of specialist neuroscience providers is associated with fewer deaths from stroke. This suggests that the availability of specialists is an important factor in survival after stroke, and underlines the importance of promoting specialist education and practice throughout the country.

Evaluation of an ICF-based patient education programme for stroke patients: A randomized, single-blinded, controlled, multicentre trial of the effects on self-efficacy, life satisfaction and functioning.
CONCLUSION: There was no significant benefit of the ICF-based patient education in comparison with an attention-placebo control group. Considering the importance of the programme for the further implementation of the ICF and the need of developing effective health education interventions for stroke, the methodology used was reviewed and an updated version proposed. STATEMENT OF CONTRIBUTION: What is already known on this subject? Stroke survivors frequently report dissatisfaction about content, delivery and timing of information provision on several aspects of the disease as well as on available support. Although several i...

Home-based psychoeducational and mailed information programs for stroke-caregiving dyads post-discharge: a randomized trial.
Conclusions: The home-based intervention was effective in improving self-reported health, coping skills in CG and cognitive functioning in SS. However, the finding that dyads in both groups demonstrated decreased depression and stress suggests that providing repeated doses of relevant, personalized information by mail may result in positive changes. Implications for Rehabilitation A stroke affects both the stroke survivor and the spousal caregiver, so nurses and therapists should use multicomponent strategies to provide education, support, counseling and linkages to community resources to ease the transition from hospital ...

Effectiveness of public stroke educational interventions: a review
ConclusionsStroke educational campaigns have the potential to improve knowledge and awareness and change the behavior of a large number of people. Health promoters and investigators must adopt flexibility and participatory mentality to develop cost‐effective interventions. Both community‐based campaigns and E‐tools should be integrated within a comprehensive multifaceted stroke promotion strategy to expand their reach.

The experiences and needs of Chinese‐Canadian stroke survivors and family caregivers as they re‐integrate into the community
Abstract Stroke is a leading cause of adult disability and community re‐integration is a priority for stroke rehabilitation. In North America, we have a growing population of individuals whose first language is not English. Little is known about the experiences of visible minorities living in North America as they re‐integrate into the community post stroke or how these experiences change over time. Specifically, this research aimed to explore the experiences and needs of Chinese stroke survivors and family caregivers as they return to community living using the Timing it Right Framework as a conceptual guide. We recru...

Multifactorial Analysis of Factors Affecting Recurrence of Stroke in Japan
Data on factors affecting stroke recurrence are relatively limited. The authors examined potential factors affecting stroke recurrence, retrospectively. The study participants were 1087 patients who were admitted to stroke centers suffering from first-ever ischemic stroke and returned questionnaires with usable information after discharge. The authors analyzed the association between clinical parameters of the patients and their prognosis. Recurrence rate of during an average of 2 years after discharge was 21.3%, and there were differences among stroke subtypes. It was found that the disability level of the patients after ...

Short-Term Functional Outcome and its Predictors in a Hospital-Based Cohort of Nigerians with Acute Stroke (P5.171)
CONCLUSIONS: About 1 in 3 stroke patients in this cohort had poor functional outcome. In order to improve functional outcome and reduce the burden of stroke in Nigeria, public health education on early recognition and hospital presentation is needed. In acute stroke management, complications should be prevented while speech and language therapy should be instituted to improve functional outcome.Disclosure: Dr. Wahab has nothing to disclose.

Racial and Ethnic Differences in Mental Distress among Stroke Survivors.
CONCLUSION: Serious mental distress is highly prevalent among US stroke survivors and is more common in Hispanics than NHWs, African Americans and Asians. Further study of the role of mental distress in ethnic differences in post-stroke disability is warranted. PMID: 26118139 [PubMed - in process]

Interventions for post-stroke fatigue.
CONCLUSIONS: There was insufficient evidence on the efficacy of any intervention to treat or prevent fatigue after stroke. Trials to date have been small and heterogeneous, and some have had a high risk of bias. Some of the interventions described were feasible in people with stroke, but their efficacy should be investigated in RCTs with a more robust study design and adequate sample sizes.

Stroke incidence and risk factors in Havana and Matanzas, Cuba
Conclusions Stroke incidence was similar to rates reported in developed countries and lower than that in low- to middle-income countries. Given that diabetes mellitus, heart disease, arterial hypertension, smoking, APOE4, etc. are associated with higher mortality rates, they will require separate analysis in a study of stroke risk factors.

Recuperation of daily activities and quality of life after stroke: The EAVQ-QdV scale
Discussion A single questionnaire exploring different cognitive domains, and comparing patients’ and caregivers’ assessments, with the evaluation of the emotional impact of patients’ and caregivers’ difficulties may permit to obtain a better estimation of residual handicap in stroke patients.

144: the physiological information role for stroke patients
Conclusion: Each patient should be individually assessed on his or her readiness to receive information. Healthcare professionals should take a patient's age, gender, educational status and communication support needs into account when assessing their need for information. Information should be offered to patients in a variety of formats, including easy access and repeated and re-offered at appropriate intervals.

Health-related quality of life in first-ever stroke patients
CONCLUSION: In this study, we found that age and functional status had a powerful influence on HRQOL. Comprehensive therapy programs aimed to improve HRQOL should focus on improving functional disability, particularly in older stroke patients. There is a need for long-term follow-up studies in stroke patients throughout all recovery stages to evaluate HRQOL in more detail.
