Clinical Trial Summary
At CHUS Fleurimont, one in five patients hospitalized for this condition needs to be
transferred to an intensive functional rehabilitation unit (URFI) located in another
establishment of the Centre intégré universitaire de santé et de service sociaux de l'Estrie
- Centre hospitalier universitaire de Sherbrooke (CIUSSS de Estrie-CHUS). Patients and their
relatives must therefore adapt to a new environment and a new care team, which can cause
additional concern and uncertainty for their new condition. Thus, the importance of educating
the patient and their family so that they understand the nature of the stroke, as well as the
elements and stages of rehabilitation that lie ahead, are essentials so that they can make an
informed choice about acceptance and type of rehabilitation. However, to date, little
material is available to facilitate communication between the professional and the patient
and his/her family. In this perspective, our research team has developed a video which aims
to improve the knowledge of people and loved ones on intensive functional rehabilitation
(RFI) and its care settings. The objectives of this study are:
1. Evaluate the effect of viewing the video on post-stroke patients and their relatives on:
- Perceived stress
- Anxiety
- Knowledge on intensive functional rehabilitation
2. Measure participants satisfaction regarding the video
3. Evaluate the association between socio-demographic outcomes (age, sex, degree of
impairment, relation with the patient, NIHSS, MRS) and perceived stress, anxiety and
knowledge regarding rehabilitation.
Description:
Rational :
One of the main recommendations of a committee of experts on the provision of rehabilitation
services in Quebec is that people who have had a stroke should start rehabilitation as soon
as possible once their medical condition has stabilized. This rehabilitation therefore begins
in the hospital center, in acute care, but can continue if necessary in a rehabilitation
center specialized for this purpose. At CHUS Fleurimont, one in five patients hospitalized
for this condition needs to be transferred to an intensive functional rehabilitation unit
(URFI) located in another establishment of the Centre intégré universitaire de santé et de
service sociaux de l'Estrie - Centre hospitalier universitaire de Sherbrooke (CIUSSS de
Estrie-CHUS). Patients and their relatives must therefore adapt to a new environment and a
new care team, which can cause additional concern and uncertainty for their new condition.
Thus, the importance of educating the patient and their family so that they understand the

between the professional and the patient and his/her family. In this perspective, our
research team has developed a video which aims to improve the knowledge of people and loved
ones on intensive functional rehabilitation (RFI) and its care settings.
Objective :
Objectives of this project are :
1. Evaluate the effect of viewing the video on post-stroke patients and their relatives on:
- Perceived stress
- Anxiety
- Knowledge on intensive functional rehabilitation
2. Measure participants satisfaction regarding the video
3. Evaluate the association between socio-demographic outcomes (age, sex, degree of
impairment, relation with the patient, NIHSS, MRS) and perceived stress, anxiety and
knowledge regarding rehabilitation.
Method :
In order to meet the objectives of the study, a pre-experimental study (pré-/post-test with a
single group will be used. A first data collection will take place (T1) as soon as the
consent form is signed, comprising the following variables: 1) socio-demographic data, 2)
perceived stress, 3) level of anxiety and 4) knowledge of intensive functional
rehabilitation. The video will then be viewed once by the participants during this same
visit. The Intensive functional rehabilitation Knowledge Questionnaire will be
re-administered immediately after viewing the video. Before the discharge from the stroke
unit, between 24 and 72 hours after recruitment, a second assessment (T2) will take place.The
assessments will then be administered a second time. In addition, a questionnaire on
satisfaction regarding the video will be administered.
Anticipated results :
If the results of this study are conclusives, the video could be used with all patients
requiring intensive functional rehabilitation following a stroke, but also with patients
presenting other health problems such as head trauma and other polytrauma requiring intensive
functional rehabilitation. The video could also be used and adapted for the other CIUSSS
hospital centers of Estrie-CHUS such as the CH center hospitalier Mégantic, Granby and
Cowansville which also treat this type of clientele.
