Clinical Trial Summary

Patients with stroke benefitted from superior improvements in physical function, particularly when performing activities of daily living, fewer visits to the emergency room, less depression symptoms, and improved health-related quality of life thanks to transitional model care. Despite widespread implementation of transitional care for stroke patients, intervention effectiveness remains inconclusive, and another concern with transitional care for patients is the scarcity of effects on specific findings.

Clinical Trial Description

A stroke may be a profound and life-changing occurrence for both the survivors and those who care for them, mandating participation in the adaptation and reinvention of a new post-stroke lifestyle that is sometimes unpredictable and temperamental. The sudden onset of a stroke and its accompanying treatment in an acute hospital setting can be distressing for both patients and caregivers. Admission after stroke may have a profound impact as patients and their caregiver start to understand the effects of the occurrence, which is scary, puzzling, and stressful. Nonetheless, adjusting to situations or life after a stroke might be made easier by implementing relevant and timely strategies throughout hospitalization, discharge, and the post-discharge period. Both populations, stroke patients and caregivers, may have unmet needs once the patients are discharged at home, such as communication, recovery plan and process, medicine, emotional needs, and stroke information, as well as social involvement. To address unmet needs after discharge from the hospital to a variety of settings, such transitional care is recommended to tackle the adverse outcomes.One of the widely used transitional care models is TCM, which was developed at the University of Pennsylvania under the direction of a nurse and was then made available to patients who were elderly at risk of poor outcomes and suffering from chronic illnesses including stroke patients. Incorporated into the model, TCM were developed to meet the needs that arose during hospitalization and to provide continuity of care for patients, including those with stroke, who were unable to receive it after their acute illness treatment ;
