Abstract
BACKGROUND Stroke survivors have complex needs that necessitate the expertise and skill of well-trained healthcare professionals to provide effective rehabilitation and long-term support. Limited knowledge exists regarding the availability of specialized education and training programs specifically designed for nurses caring for stroke patients. AIM This review aims to assess the content and methods of training for nurses caring for stroke patients, examine its impact on both nurses and patients, and identify key facilitators and barriers to its implementation. METHODS We conducted a comprehensive scoping review by reviewing multiple databases, including PubMed, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature, PsycINFO, Embase, Web of Science, Scopus, ProQuest Dissertations and Theses, Google Scholar, and Cochrane databases. Data extraction and narrative synthesis were performed following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses Extension for Scoping Reviews guidelines. RESULTS Seventeen articles were included in this review. We found that education/training not only enhanced patients' self-care abilities, nursing outcomes, and satisfaction, but also had a positive impact on the knowledge, skills, and practices of nurses. The obstacles to education/training included feasibility and cost-effectiveness, while the driving factors were management support and participation, professional education/training, and controlled environment creation. CONCLUSIONS This review highlights the crucial role of education/training in enhancing stroke care provided by nurses. Effective education/training integrates various educational methods and management support to overcome implementation barriers and optimize clinical practice benefits. These findings indicate the necessity of universal and consistent stroke education/training for nurses to further improve patient outcomes in stroke care.

Saragih ID, Everard G, Saragih IS, Lee BO. The beneficial effects of transitional care for patients with stroke: A meta-analysis. J Adv Nurs 2024; 80:789-806. [PMID: 37727124 DOI: 10.1111/jan.15850] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/12/2023] [Revised: 07/21/2023] [Accepted: 08/23/2023] [Indexed: 09/21/2023]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Transitional care interventions have emerged as a promising method of ensuring treatment continuity and health care coordination when patients are discharged from hospital to home. However, few studies have investigated the frequency and duration of interventions and the effects of interventions on physical function. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the efficacy of transitional care for patients with stroke. METHODS Six databases and the grey literature were searched to obtain relevant articles from October 1, 2022 to March 10, 2023. The primary outcomes studied were motor performance, walking speed, activities of daily living (ADLs) and caregiver burden following hospital-to-home transitional care. The quality of the studies was assessed with Cochrane risk of bias version 2. The quality and sensitivity of the evidence were assessed to ensure rigour of the findings. Meta-analyses were performed using stata 17.0. RESULTS A total of 2966 patients were identified from 23 studies. Transitional care improved post-stroke motor performance, walking speed and ADLs, and reduced caregiver burden. CONCLUSION The findings suggest that provision of transitional care model implementation in patients with stroke is important because it reduces disability in stroke patients and helps to decrease caregivers' burden. IMPACT The findings of the study emphasize the importance of transitional care programmes for stroke patients after they are discharged from the hospital and returned to their homes. To meet the needs of patients, all levels of health professionals including nurses should be aware of the discharge process and care plan.

Abstract
Stroke is a disease with a heavy social and familial care burden that can cause permanent brain damage, long-term disability, and/or death. This study aimed to determine the effect of technology-based health promotion training on the daily life activities, quality of life, and self-care of stroke patients. The study design was a Randomized Controlled Trial. The study sample included persons diagnosed with stroke diagnosed with stroke and were receiving inpatient treatment in the neurology clinic of a university hospital. The sample size was calculated as a total of 70 patients, 35 interventions and 35 controls. The intervention group patients received telephone-based education and follow-up grounded in Orem's Self-Care Theory over a 12-week period subsequent to their discharge. The educational content was divided into three distinct categories: self-care needs with regard to health deviations, developmental self-care needs, and universal self-care practices. Data were collected using the Montreal Cognitive Assessment Scale, the Katz Index of Independence in Activities of Daily Living, Stroke-Specific Quality of Life Scale, and the Exercise of Self-Care Agency Scale. The Independent Sample T-Test was used for intergroup comparisons, and the Dependent Sample T-Test was used for intragroup pre-test and post-test comparisons. Independent variables affecting the post-test scores, such as age and gender, were analyzed using the multiple linear regression model. The scale sub-dimension variables were compared using the multivariate analysis of variance test according to the groups. When compared with the control group patients after the training, it was determined that there was a statistically significant difference in the intervention group patients' mean scores for the Stroke-Specific Quality of Life Scale (t = 11.136, p = .001) and the Exercise of Self-Care Agency Scale (t = 14.358, p = .000). Training interventions led to enhanced awareness and knowledge about stroke among the intervention group patients. They also fostered the development of healthier lifestyle behaviors and bolstered both self-care abilities and quality of life.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE evaluate the transition of care from the perspective of people living with chronic diseases and identify its relation with clinical and sociodemographic characteristics. METHOD cross-sectional study with 487 patients who were discharged from a hospital. Clinical and sociodemographic characterization instruments were used, as well as the Care Transitions Measure-15, which measures Preparation for self-management, Secured preferences, Understanding about medications and Care plan factors. Descriptive and inferential statistical analysis. RESULTS the transition of care was satisfactory (76.8±10.4). Average of the factors: Preparation for self-management (82.2±10.8), Secured preferences (84.7±14.3), Understanding about medications (75.7±13.7) and Care plan (64.5±13.2). Female patients had a higher average in the understanding about medications factor. Whites and residents in the urban area better evaluated the Care plan factor. The highest mean was observed for the Secured preferences factor (84.7±14.3) and the lowest for the Care plan factor (64.5±13.2). In all factors, significant differences were found in the variables (surgical patient, carrying clinical artifacts and not being hospitalized for COVID-19). Patients hospitalized for up to five days showed statistical difference in Preparation for self-management and Understanding about medications factors. In patients who were not readmitted within 30 days of discharge, Preparation for self-management was better. The better the Preparation for self-management, the lower the 30-day readmission rates. CONCLUSION in patients living with chronic diseases, sociodemographic and clinical variables are associated with the transition of care. Patients who better evaluated preparation for self-management had fewer readmissions within 30 days. (1) Brazilian study that evaluated the transition of care of patients with CNCDs. (2) Women had a higher average in the understanding about medications factor. (3) Whites and residents in the urban area better evaluated the care plan. (4) Better preparation for self-management reduces length of stay and readmissions. (5) Better preparation for understanding about medications reduces hospitalization time.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES to map and synthesize nursing theories and conceptual frameworks that have been applied in the practice of nursing care for stroke patients in hospital settings. METHODS a scoping review was conducted in October 2022 using the MEDLINE (accessed via PubMed), CINAHL, Scielo, and Web of Science databases, following The Joanna Briggs Institute guidelines. RESULTS nine studies incorporated six nursing theories and three conceptual frameworks, which were employed to enhance stroke patient care. The objective of these theories and conceptual frameworks was to facilitate the identification of the patient's psychobiological, psychosocial, and psychospiritual needs, elucidate the nurse's role and expand their perspective on rehabilitation, and acknowledge the survivor's process of transition. FINAL CONSIDERATIONS this mapping exercise identified major nursing theories, middle-range theories, and conceptual frameworks applied to the care of stroke patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Stroke is the second leading cause of death and the third leading cause of disability worldwide. Stroke nurses play an important role in the care of patients living with stroke by using best practices and adhering to stroke-management guidelines. This study aims at examining the current nursing practice for stroke patients in Saudi Arabia. METHOD A cross-sectional descriptive design was used to collect data from nurses working in the stroke unit and intensive care unit between the period of February and June 2022 using electronic self-administered questionnaires. RESULTS A convenience sample of 131 nurses who provided care for stroke patients was enrolled. Significant differences in nursing practice were found between the stroke units and the intensive care units regarding the activation of the stroke code, X2 (4, N = 131) = 48.34, p < 0.001; transferring stroke patients to a designated bed, X2 (4, N = 131) = 48.74, p = 0.002; applying the NIHSS, X2 (4, N = 131) = 70.11, p < 0.001; using the modified Rankin scale, X2 (4, N = 131) = 61.24, p < 0.001; providing intervention for neglect syndrome, X2 (4, N = 131) = 44.72, and hemianopsia, X2 (4, N = 131) = 39.22; screening for poststroke depression, X2 (4, N = 131) = 101.59, p < 0.001; assessing for psychosocial needs, X2 (4, N = 131) = 74.44, p < 0.001, and encouraging patients to express their feelings, X2 (4, N = 131) = 58.64, p < 0.001; educating patients and families about stroke prevention, X2 (4, N = 131) = 40.51, p < 0.001. CONCLUSION As per the results of the study, there is an urgent need for stroke units run by specialized stroke nurses to provide early stroke management and improve survivors' outcomes. Structured stroke-care programs are needed to improve nursing practice and meet the international standard of stroke care.

Neurocrit Care 2023; 38:650-656. [PMID: 36324004 DOI: 10.1007/s12028-022-01632-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/08/2022] [Accepted: 10/07/2022] [Indexed: 06/07/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Teleneurocritical care (TNCC) provides 24/7 virtual treatment of patients with neurological disease in the emergency department or intensive care unit. However, it is not known if TNCC is safe, effective, or associated with similar outcomes compared with in-person neurocritical care. We aim to determine the effect of daily inpatient consults from TNCC on the outcomes of patients with large vessel occlusive acute ischemic stroke treated by thrombectomy. METHODS A multicenter, retrospective cohort of consecutive patients ≥ 18 years old with acute ischemic stroke from a large vessel occlusion treated by thrombectomy were identified from 2018 to 2021 within a telehealth network of an integrated not-for-profit health care system in the United States. The primary end point was good functional outcome, i.e., modified Rankin Scale 0-3, at the time of hospital discharge in patients receiving in-person neurocritical care versus TNCC. RESULTS A total of 437 patients met inclusion criteria, 226 at the in-person hospital (median age 67, 53% women) and 211 at the two TNCC hospitals (median age 74, 49% women). The rate of successful endovascular therapy (modified Thrombolysis in Cerebral Infarction score 2b-3) was not different among hospitals. Good functional outcome at discharge was similar between in-person neurocritical care and TNCC (in-person 31.4% vs. TNCC 33.5%, odds ratio 0.88, 95% confidence interval 0.6-1.3; p = 0.64). Only National Institutes of Health stroke scale and age were multivariable predictors of outcome. There were no differences in mortality (9.3% vs. 13.2%, p = 0.19), intensive care unit length of stay (2.1 vs. 1.9 days, p = 0.39), or rate of symptomatic intracerebral hemorrhage (6.8% vs. 6.6%, p = 0.47) between in-person neurocritical care and TNCC. CONCLUSIONS Teleneurocritical care allows for equivalent favorable functional outcomes compared with in-person neurocritical care for patients with acute large vessel ischemic stroke receiving thrombectomy. The standardized protocols used by TNCC in this study, specifically the comprehensive 24/7 treatment of patients in the intensive care unit for the length of their stay, may be relevant for other health systems with limited in-person resources; however, additional study is required.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES We aimed to study the information needs of the spouses of stroke survivors, and whether the functional ability, depressive mood, or demographic factors of the survivors or spouses associate with the information needs or satisfaction with care. We also investigated whether prescheduled follow-up improves information provision. METHODS Ninety-six spouses of consecutive stroke survivors completed a questionnaire on their information needs and satisfaction with care 21 months post-stroke. The results of samples before (n = 59) and after (n = 37) the implementation of the prescheduled follow-up were compared. RESULTS Before the follow-up, 75% of the spouses had received information on stroke and the well-being of the survivor, with 31% having received information on the survivors' and 18% on the spouses' own mood. The information provision improved after the follow-up: 86%, 44%, and 50%, respectively. The need for more information and satisfaction with care were associated with the spouse's depression, but not with functional impairment. CONCLUSIONS Even if information on stroke is satisfactorily provided, the mood and well-being of spouses is often neglected. Information provision and support can be improved with systematic prescheduled follow-up. PRACTICE IMPLICATIONS Our results suggest the routine assessment of the depressive symptoms and needs of spouses of stroke survivors.

Abstract
In many countries hospital length of stay after an acute stroke admission is typically just a few days, therefore, most of a person's recovery from stroke occurs in the community. Care transitions, which occur when there is a change in, or handoff between 2 different care settings or providers, represent an especially vulnerable period for patients and caregivers. For some patients with stroke the return home is associated with substantial practical, psychosocial, and health-related challenges leading to substantial burden for the individual and caregiver. Underserved and minority populations, because of their exposure to poor environmental, social, and economic conditions, as well as structural racism and discrimination, are especially vulnerable to the problems of complicated care transitions which in turn, can negatively impact stroke recovery. Overall, there remain significant unanswered questions about how to promote optimal recovery in the post-acute care period, particularly for those from underserved communities. Evidence is limited on how best to support patients after they have returned home where they are required to navigate the chronic stages of stroke with little direct support from health professionals.

Abstract
BACKGROUND An ageing workforce and increased vacancies has seen a steady growth in nursing student enrolments. This has created a need to re-think how to optimise existing clinical placement opportunities while ensuring quality student experiences and staff satisfaction in their support role. OBJECTIVES To provide insights into the experiences and satisfaction levels of Registered Nurses who supported nursing students during clinical placement using a facility-based model. DESIGN A quasi-experimental design. SETTINGS Three wards in an acute care facility and Primary and Community Health within the Southwest of Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. PARTICIPANTS Participants included Registered Nurses/Midwives, Facility-based liaison support staff, and Nurse Managers. INTERVENTION Within the 24/7 facility-based model, each nursing student was allocated to one Registered Nurse for the duration of the clinical placement period. The pair was rostered to complete the same day, evening, night, and weekend shifts. METHODS A cross-sectional survey related to staff satisfaction was administered to participants at two time points: (a) prior to the commencement of the intervention (baseline survey); and (b) at the completion of the intervention. Following the intervention participants were invited to a focus group or an individual interview. RESULTS There were no statistically significant changes in the levels of staff satisfaction from baseline to post-intervention; with personal fulfilment scoring the highest and workload the lowest. Staff who worked in the Primary and Community Health settings were less satisfied with this model of student support. Overall, most participants reported high personal satisfaction, professional growth and development opportunities yet acknowledged this came at a cost, with an increased workload. CONCLUSIONS Participants were satisfied with the facility-based model in supporting student learning on clinical placement. The model is fit for purpose however it does need to be tailored to the contextual needs of nurses working in Primary and Community settings.

Observation of the Effect of TTM-Based Health Information Behavior Combined with Continuous Nursing on Cognitive and Motor Function, Living Ability, and the Quality of Life of Cerebral Stroke Patients. EVIDENCE-BASED COMPLEMENTARY AND ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE 2022; 2022:1850033. [PMID: 35815285 PMCID: PMC9270116 DOI: 10.1155/2022/1850033] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/07/2022] [Accepted: 05/12/2022] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
Purpose To discuss the effect of the transtheoretical model (TTM) of behavior-based health information behavior combined with continuous nursing on cognitive function, motor function, living ability, and quality of life of cerebral stroke (CS) patients. Methods 540 cases of CS patients hospitalized in our hospital from June 2020 to June 2021 were selected. All the subjects were divided into the control group (270 cases) and study group (270 cases) according to the random number table. The control group was given routine nursing intervention and the study group was given TTM-based health information behavior combined with continuous nursing. The patients were paid a return visit 6 months after discharge, and their cognitive function, motor function, living ability, and quality of life were observed before and after intervention. Results After intervention, the Montreal cognitive assessment scale score, Fugl-Meyer assessment of motor function score, Barthel index score, and short health scale score of both groups were higher than before intervention, and the study group was higher than the control group (P < 0.05). Conclusion TTM-based health information behavior combined with continuous nursing has a significant positive impact on cognitive function, motor function, living ability, and quality of life of CS patients.

Application Effect of Whole-Process Seamless Nursing Model Based on Smart Healthcare Mode in Perioperative Period of Patients Undergoing Hematoma Removal. JOURNAL OF HEALTHCARE ENGINEERING 2022; 2022:1323678. [PMID: 35251559 PMCID: PMC8890834 DOI: 10.1155/2022/1323678] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/04/2022] [Revised: 01/17/2022] [Accepted: 01/26/2022] [Indexed: 11/21/2022]
Abstract
Objective To explore the application effect of a whole-process seamless nursing model based on the smart healthcare mode in the perioperative period of patients undergoing hematoma removal. Methods In this retrospective study, 50 patients with hematoma removal admitted to our hospital from August 2018 to August 2019 were included as the control group (CG), while 50 patients with hematoma removal admitted to our hospital from September 2019 to September 2020 were included as the experimental group (EG). During the period of hematoma removal, CG received routine perioperative nursing, while EG received the whole-process seamless nursing model based on the smart healthcare mode. The perioperative indexes, hemodynamic indexes, and the incidence of postoperative complications were compared between the two groups, and the incidence of nursing staff's work omissions in different periods was analyzed. Results Notable differences were observed in surgical time, intraoperative blood loss, hematoma clearance rates, length of ICU stay, hospitalization time, removal time of ventricular drainage tube, and cerebral edema volume at 1 week after surgery between EG and CG (P < 0.05). Compared with CG, EG achieved obviously better hemodynamic indexes (P < 0.001) and a lower incidence of bedsore, muscle atrophy, and eating/swallowing disorders (P < 0.05). During the implementation of smart healthcare, the incidence of nursing staff's work omissions was remarkably reduced (P < 0.05). Conclusion Under the smart healthcare, the incidence of nursing staff's work omissions is lower, and the effect of the whole-process seamless nursing is better, which can optimize the perioperative indexes of patients, stabilize the postoperative hemodynamics, and reduce the incidence of complications. Therefore, the whole-process seamless nursing model based on the smart healthcare mode has promotion value in clinic.
