About this trial
This study examines the effects of a transitional care program in stroke patients on self-care behavior, quality of life, and hospital readmission.
The research conceptual framework is based on the Transitional Care Model by Naylor. Sixty participants with stroke patients at Charoenkrung Pracharak Hospital will be recruited. These participants are stratified by block randomization using NIHSS score and divided into 2 groups; a control group (n=30) and an intervention group (n=30).
The program consisted of 2 phases: 1) Phase I during hospital admission and 2) Phase II following hospital discharge
