Detailed description

This study is to examine the effects of a transitional care program in stroke patients on self-care behavior, quality of life, and hospital readmission. The research conceptual framework base on Transitional Care Model by Naylor. Sixty participants with stroke patients at Charoenkrung Pracharak Hospital will be recruited. These participants are stratified block randomization using NIHSS score and divide into 2 groups; control group (n=30) and intervention groups (n=30). The program consisted of 2 phases: 1) Phases I during hospital admission and 2) Phases II following hospital discharge for 4 weeks. The instruments used in this study for collecting the data are 1) The Personal Data Form, 2) The Self-care Behavior Questionare and 3) The Stroke Impact Scale (SIS) 3.0. Data will be analyzed using descriptive statistics and two-way repeated measures ANOVA. The result of this study will be used to develop guideline for nursing care in stroke patients during the transition from hospital to home. This program will help the patients improve their self-care, quality of life, and reduce hospital readmission
