Effectiveness of Health Education Program Among Patients & Family Caregivers on Modifiable Risk Factors mRS 0 to 4 to Reduce Recurrence of Stroke After Discharge From a Tertiary Hospital in Bangladesh

Intervention Type: Behavioral
Study Type: Interventional
Study Phase: Not Applicable
SUMMARY

Stroke is a major public issue that can be occurred a patient with severe and unbearable disability for a long time. Recurrence of stroke is increasing due to a lack of knowledge and compliance with treatment regarding the modifiable risk factors of stroke and behavioral and lifestyle changes. Nurse-led health education with (self) monitoring of modifiable risk factors and behaviors can be an effective way to create knowledge about the behavioral changes in stroke patients. The investigators hypothesized that health education among first stroke patients and their family caregivers could reduce the stroke recurrence rate by controlling modifiable risk factors compared to the first stroke patients without health education.

Treatments
Experimental: Intervention group
The participants provided health education regarding understanding stroke and the risk factors, lifestyle changes related to modifiable factors, (self)-monitoring of daily blood pressure (BP), and compliance with medication and hospital/clinic visits. At 6 and 12 months RA nurses collected data and samples for lab tests from the patient's house if the patient cannot come to NINSH for any reason. We provided all the patients with lab test costs and transportation fees if they visited any healthcare center for any lab test related to our study.
No_intervention: Control Group
The participants received a one-time telephone call from research nurses every month to keep in contact (telephone calls did not include health education). At 6 and 12 months RA nurses collected data and samples for lab tests from the patient's house if the patient cannot come to NINSH for any reason. We provided all the patients with lab test costs and transportation fees if they visited any healthcare center for any lab test related to our study.
