Intervention model description: To integrate Family System Care and Theme Care Action Module to improve resilience, family function, self-efficacy, and quality of life for stroke patients and their caregivers.

First, understand the care needs of patients and caregivers, and apply The Specific Thematic Nursing Care Action Modules (STNC-AM) platform for education and training.

The Specific Thematic Nursing Care Action Modules (STNC-AM) platform that we present here is an educational program that integrates education and coaching. STNC-AM has six key aspects: stroke prevention, management of emotions, management of fatigue, physical activity, caregiver training, and integrative resources. Each scope contains detailed care guidance.
Primary purpose: SUPPORTIVE_CARE

Brief summary: This study aims to (1) test the effect of Family System Care and Theme Care Action Module on resilience, family function, self-efficacy, and quality of life for stroke patients and their families and caregivers; and (2) interview stroke survivors (experimental group) using a semi-structured questionnaire to achieve a mix of qualitative and quantitative methodologies.

Detailed description: A randomized control-group pretest-posttest design was adopted. We also used a semi-structured questionnaire to qualitatively interview stroke survivors. The National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS), Chronic Disease Self-Efficacy scales, Resilience Scale, McMaster Family Assessment Device, and Quality of Life Scale were used to test the intervention effects. Further, complex scientific concepts will be used to analyze the transition experience of stroke survivors.

Expected outcomes: The Family System Care and Theme Care Action Module can improve family function, resilience, self-efficacy, and quality of life for stroke patients and their caregivers.
