“…The stroke educational group was developed based on a review of the literature (Rausch and Turkoski, 1999;Rodgers et al, 1999;Monaghan and Duarri, 2001;Barton et al, 2002). The structure and content of the two-session educational program are summarized in Table 1.…”

“…It was a self-designed multiple choice test, consisting of four parts to assess the knowledge of stroke, the proper handling techniques of the caregivers, shoulder care and the adapted activities of daily living skills of the participants with stroke (Rausch and Turkoski, 1999;Rodgers et al, 1999;Monaghan and Duarri, 2001;Barton et al, 2002). The stroke participants were required to complete questions falling under three parts (a total of 15 items), on knowledge on stroke, shoulder care and the adapted activities of daily living skills of persons with stroke.…”

“…As for the caregivers, they were required to complete one additional part of the questionnaire, concerning proper handling and caring skills (a total of 20 items). The items were selected from a review of the literature and the content of the current stroke educational sessions (Rausch and Turkoski, 1999;Rodgers et al, 1999;Monaghan and Duarri, 2001;Barton et al, 2002). This instrument was reviewed in terms of its clarity and accuracy by four expert panel members with more than 5 years of experience in stroke rehabilitation.…”

The educational group has been proposed as an effective way to deliver a program based on structured stroke knowledge to enhance emotional support among people with stroke and their caregivers. The aim of this study was to explore whether the stroke educational group could increase stroke-related knowledge, and improve perceived health status, in persons with stroke and their caregivers, and thus reduce the stress induced during the care-giving process. In this study a quasi-experimental design, that included a pre-test and a post-test, was employed on a total of 54 patients with stroke and 32 caregivers who participated in a 2-week stroke educational group. The outcome measures included a Stroke Knowledge Test, the Short-Form 36 and the Relatives' Stress Scale. The tests were administrated before and after the running of the stroke educational group as well as, during the 1-week, 2-week and 1-month follow-up sessions. The results showed a statistically significant increase in stroke-related knowledge in the patients (F [1,51]=7.28-9.67, P<0.01) and their caregivers (F [1,30]=44.19-80.49, P<0.01), but no similar significant improvement was noted on perceived health status and care-giving stress. A significant association between the total scores in the stroke knowledge test and the admission scores in the Mini Mental State Examination of the patients was also revealed (F [1,51]=48.03-58.87, P<0.01). In conclusion, the results suggest that there was an improvement in the acquisition of stroke-related knowledge by both patients with stroke, and their caregivers, after a stroke educational group. A further study exploring the behavioral changes of individuals with stroke and their caregivers after attending a stroke educational group is recommended.

The National Clinical Guidelines for Stroke (2004) recommend that patients are cared for by staff who have expertise in stroke rehabilitation and access to relevant educational programmes. However, they provide only limited information as to the content and delivery of such programmes and recommend that such decisions are made at a local level. This must inevitably lead to the duplication of efforts and variations in standards and content across national services. This literature review hopes to identify how the content and delivery of educational programmes for nurses on stroke units meet the needs of their role, impact on their practice and influence patient outcomes. It is expected that the findings will be valuable in the development of ongoing training programmes and may contribute to a cohesive approach at national level.
