Abstract
ABSTRACT Introduction: Stroke is a major global health problem and second leading cause of death worldwide. In India, the incidence of stroke rate has increased from 56/100,000 person to 117/100,000 person. Stroke rehabilitation is an active process and begins during acute hospitalisation. Stroke survivors may return to an active and productive lifestyle through rehabilitation. Aim: To determine the effectiveness of Structured Teaching Programme (STP) on the knowledge about rehabilitation of stroke patients among caregivers. Materials and Methods: A pre-experimental pre-test, post-test research design was used to conduct this study. Purposive sampling was the sampling method used to collect data from family caregivers of stroke survivors on the basis of semi-structured interview schedule. After collecting pre-test data, STP was organised for intervention of stroke rehabilitation to samples. Seven days were provided to the samples for utilising STP which was organised for 45-50 minutes through lecture, discussion and planned Audio-Visual (AV) aids. Post-test information was gathered after seven days from the day of teaching intervention. Seven days was assigned after getting expert opinions as well as to give time for implication of knowledge through practice of stroke rehabilitation. The sample characteristics were described by frequency, percentage and t-test was used to describe the difference between pre-test and post-test knowledge score. Chi-square test was also used to find out the association between knowledge of caregivers regarding stroke rehabilitations and selected demographic variables. Results: The mean pre-test knowledge score was 9.76 and mean post-test knowledge score was 14.7. There was a statistically significant improvement in the level of knowledge regarding stroke rehabilitations among caregivers (t0.001,29=3.659) and no association was found between pre-test knowledge level and selected demographic variables. Conclusion: The demand of stroke rehabilitation by involving family caregivers is increasing as it will help stroke patient to improve activity of daily livings as well as decrease disability and prevent complications.
