Effects of Transitional Care Program in Stroke Patients on Self-care Behavior, Quality of Life, and Hospital Readmission: A Randomized Controlled Trial.
This study tests a new care program for stroke patients with hemiplegia to see if it helps them take better care of themselves, improves their quality of life, and reduces hospital visits after they leave the hospital.

What this trial studies
This study evaluates the impact of a transitional care program on self-care behavior, quality of life, and hospital readmission rates in stroke patients with hemiplegia. It involves 60 participants who are randomly assigned to either a control group or an intervention group, with the program implemented in two phases: during hospital admission and after discharge. Data will be collected using validated instruments and analyzed to assess the effectiveness of the program in improving patient outcomes.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates are adults aged 18 and older who have experienced their first acute ischemic stroke and have moderate hemiplegia.
Not a fit: Patients with severe cognitive impairment, aphasia, or those who decline participation may not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this program could enhance self-care abilities and quality of life for stroke patients, while reducing the likelihood of hospital readmissions.
How similar studies have performed: Previous studies utilizing transitional care models have shown promise in improving outcomes for stroke patients, indicating that this approach is supported by existing evidence.
