Reduction of Recurrence of Stroke by Nurse-led Education in Bangladesh
Sponsor: Hiroshima University
Summary
Stroke is a major public issue that can be occurred a patient with severe and unbearable disability for a long time. Recurrence of stroke is increasing due to a lack of knowledge and compliance with treatment regarding the modifiable risk factors of stroke and behavioral and lifestyle changes. Nurse-led health education with (self) monitoring of modifiable risk factors and behaviors can be an effective way to create knowledge about the behavioral changes in stroke patients. The investigators hypothesized that health education among first stroke patients and their family caregivers could reduce the stroke recurrence rate by controlling modifiable risk factors compared to the first stroke patients without health education.
