About

This study aims to (1) test the effect of Family System Care and Theme Care Action Module on resilience, family function, self-efficacy, and quality of life for stroke patients and their families and caregivers; and (2) interview stroke survivors (experimental group) using a semi-structured questionnaire to achieve a mix of qualitative and quantitative methodologies.

Full description

A randomized control-group pretest-posttest design was adopted. We also used a semi-structured questionnaire to qualitatively interview stroke survivors. The National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS), Chronic Disease Self-Efficacy scales, Resilience Scale, McMaster Family Assessment Device, and Quality of Life Scale were used to test the intervention effects. Further, complex scientific concepts will be used to analyze the transition experience of stroke survivors.

Expected outcomes: The Family System Care and Theme Care Action Module can improve family function, resilience, self-efficacy, and quality of life for stroke patients and their caregivers.
