The secondary purpose is to evaluate the usability of the application by developing a mobile application for use in virtual home visits.The study will be carried out using the mixed research model, in which quantitative and qualitative methods are used together. The population of the research will consist of patients and caregivers with the diagnosis of hemorrhage, infarction, cerebrovascular accident and cerebral infarction, who applied to the Antalya Provincial Health Directorate Antalya Training and Research Hospital Home Health Unit, where the study is planned to be conducted. The sample of the study will consist of stroke patients and caregivers who meet the criteria for inclusion in the study. The first phase of the study was designed as a parallel group, single center and single blind randomized controlled trial to evaluate the effectiveness of virtual home visits in terms of time, cost and caregiver competence. The experimental group was the patient/patient relative group who made a virtual home visit, the control group will consist of 48 patients/patient relatives who have been visited face-to-face. In the second phase of the study, semi-structured interview method will be used to determine the views of patients/patient relatives about virtual home visits. In order to evaluate the usability of the developed application, a usability survey will be applied to the group that has visited the virtual home.With the results of this study, telemedicine applications in home care services will help to increase accessibility to home care services and reduce health care costs.considered to contribute. At the same time, it is expected that the results of the study will contribute to the scientific literature in the field of design and application of telemedicine services, which are developing and spreading, conditionsModule conditions: Stroke, conditions: Caregiver, conditions: Virtual, conditions: Home Visit, designModule studyType: INTERVENTIONAL, phases: NA, designInfo allocation: RANDOMIZED, interventionModel: PARALLEL, interventionModelDescription: Parallel Assignment Virtual visit with stroke patient and their caregiver, primaryPurpose: HEALTH_SERVICES_RESEARCH, maskingInfo masking: SINGLE, maskingDescription: Telephone support or virtual meeting during the research process will be provided by an independent interviewer., whoMasked: OUTCOMES_ASSESSOR, enrollmentInfo count: 96, type: ESTIMATED, armsInterventionsModule interventions name: Virtual Home Visit, interventions name: Control Group, outcomesModule primaryOutcomes measure: Effect of Virtual and Face to face to home visit, primaryOutcomes measure: Level of competence of stroke caregiver, primaryOutcomes measure: Frequency of unplanned hospital readmission, secondaryOutcomes measure: Effect of the virtual home visit, eligibilityModule sex: ALL, minimumAge: 18 Years, maximumAge: 90 Years, stdAges: ADULT, stdAges: OLDER_ADULT, contactsLocationsModule locations facility: Yasemin Demi̇r Avci̇, status: RECRUITING, city: Antalya, zip: 07058, country: Turkey, contacts name: Yasemin Demir Avcı, PhD, role: CONTACT, phone: +905514028492, email: ydemir@akdeniz.edu.tr, geoPoint lat: 36.90812, lon: 30.69556, hasResults: False
