CaknaStrok Education Package for Stroke Caregivers
Sponsor: Clinical Research Centre, Malaysia
Summary
This study evaluated the feasibility and potential effectiveness of the CaknaStrok Education Package (CEP), a culturally tailored education package developed to support informal caregivers of stroke survivors. The package consists of a mobile health application and a Malay-language caregiving guidebook covering stroke knowledge, caregiving strategies, rehabilitation, nutrition, secondary prevention and caregiver self-care. The study compared caregivers receiving the CaknaStrok Education Package in addition to usual care with those receiving usual care alone. The study assessed outcomes related to caregiving burden, quality of life and psychological well-being, as well as the feasibility of implementing the intervention within routine stroke care.
