Dealing with stroke: Perspectives from stroke survivors and stroke caregivers from an underserved Hispanic community
Abstract
Globally, stroke is the leading cause of death and disease burden. While post‐stroke studies have been conducted, they excluded survivors and caregivers from underserved communities. It can be argued that the impact of stroke on survivors and caregivers from underserved communities may be greater. Using qualitative exploratory research design, the purpose of this study was to examine the lived experiences of post‐stroke recovery and readjustment among stroke survivors and stroke caregivers from an underserved community. Two separate focus groups were conducted, one each for stroke survivors and caregivers. The...

Nutrition and hydration management among stroke patients in inpatient rehabilitation: a best practice implementation project
Conclusion:
The current project successfully increased knowledge of nutrition and hydration management for stroke survivors and more closely aligned inpatient management with best practice guidelines to improve health outcomes. It highlighted areas of focus moving forward and has prompted ongoing work for sustaining evidence-based practice change.

Evaluating a community‐based stroke nursing education and rehabilitation programme for patients with mild stroke
This study evaluated whether mild stroke patients who received a community‐based stroke nursing intervention had better stroke knowledge, behaviour and self‐efficacy than those who were exposed to traditional education programmes. The intervention group consisted of sixty five stroke patients randomly selected from seven communities who received three 2‐hour stroke interventions per week for 8 weeks. The normal care group consisted of sixty two stroke patients randomly selected from a medical centre who received a general stroke education programme. The stroke patients in two groups were assessed at baseline, after i...

Passed without a stroke: A UK mixed method study exploring student nurses' knowledge of stroke
Conclusions: All nursing students should have experience of being in contact with people who have had a stroke — and at present this does not always happen. A national intervention study is now suggested with a view to providing stroke education which is proportionate to its significance as a major health issue.Relevance to Clinical Practice: Nurses draw upon their fundamental clinical skills to care and treat patients who have survived a stroke. Additionally, stroke survivors also require enhanced knowledge and this is recognised in the growth of specialist stroke nurses. Improving stroke mortality and morbidity is the ...

Organisation, practice and experiences of mouth hygiene in stroke unit care: a mixed‐methods study
ConclusionOral care post‐stroke could be improved by increasing healthcare professionals' awareness, understanding and knowledge of the potential health benefits of oral care post‐stroke. Further research is required to develop and evaluate the provision of oral care in stroke care to inform evidence‐based education and practice.
Relevance to clinical practiceDevelopment of staff training and education, and evidence‐based oral care protocols may potentially benefit patient care and outcomes and be implemented widely across stroke care.

Functional Status and Disability in Patients After Acute Stroke: A Longitudinal Study.
CONCLUSIONS: Functional status 6 months after stroke was influenced by age, sex, stroke severity, type of stroke, baseline status, mood, and social risk. Comorbid conditions, socioeconomic level, and area of residence did not affect patients' functional status.

Gender differences in feelings and knowledge about stroke
ConclusionStroke knowledge is poor among men and women. Higher level of education is a predictor of stroke knowledge among both genders. Gender‐specific differences in stroke risk factors and feelings about stroke in different sub‐populations should be taken into account to improve prevention of stroke through education programmes.
Relevance to clinical practiceHealth education on stroke prevention should be tailored to population groups differing in level of education. Health promotion recommendations should be provided by nurses with regard to beliefs of both men and women regarding prevention of stroke.

The Development of Integrated Stroke Care in the Netherlands a Benchmark Study
Conclusions: Based on the assessment instrument, it was shown that stroke services in the Netherlands were further developed in terms of implemented elements of integrated care and their phase of development. This three year comparison showed unique first analyses over time of integrated stroke care in the Netherlands on a large scale. Interesting further questions are to research the outcomes of stroke care in relation to this development, and if benefits on patient level can be assessed. Published on 2016-11-16 22:56:47

Age-Group and Gender Differences in Stroke Knowledge in an Israeli Jewish Adult Population.
CONCLUSION: Participants younger than 45 years showed the lowest levels of stroke knowledge. The highest stroke knowledge was found in the 45 to 64 years age group. Stroke knowledge among different age groups was similar in both genders. Educational campaigns aimed at increasing knowledge of stroke among the general population and targeting the younger population are recommended.

Identifying and differentiating stroke and stroke mimics.
This article describes common stroke mimics and their presentations. It provides nurses with an overview of how to distinguish stroke mimics from a stroke, and practical information on triaging and diagnosing stroke and stroke mimics in the clinical setting. Stroke and stroke mimics have several similarities and several important differences. A comprehensive patient history, clinical examination, use of assessment tools and the results of medical imaging can guide nurses to differentiate stroke from a stroke mimic.

Predictive Model of Self-management in Patients With Stroke Based on the Information-Motivation-Behavioral Skills Model
CONCLUSIONS: The information-motivation-behavioral skills model is potentially a predictive model for self-management for patients who had a stroke. Considering the level of stroke knowledge and attitude, social support, and self-efficacy together may help to understand the required level of self-management. In addition, using this model for the development of self-management interventions for patients who had a stroke could be a strategy for improving self-management in patients with stroke.PMID:35030109 | DOI:10.1097/JCN.0000000000000883
