“…There is also the loss of social role, which lowers the quality of life of stroke survivors [ 6 ]. In addition, even if stroke survivors recover after onset, they can be accompanied by problems such as hemiparesis, movement disorders, gait disorders, and lessened daily living activities [ 7 ]. Therefore, in order to maintain a high quality of life by minimizing the functional impairment of stroke survivors and preventing the risk of secondary damage, it is necessary to improve self-care behaviors that can actively perform rehabilitation treatment and secondary prevention once the medical condition is stabilized after onset [ 7 , 8 ].…”

“…The reason for activity-related fear may be the decrease in functional capacity due to the disease and the perception that patients will experience pain or severe fatigue when they move. Kinesiophobia (fear of movement) is defined as an excessive, unreasonable, and debilitating fear to carry out a physical movement and important for especially neurological diseases 15–17 . Although MS is known as one of the main diseases that decrease activity level, no study on kinesiophobia has been conducted in this patient group in the literature.…”

BACKGROUND: In addition to the available medical treatment options, multiple sclerosis (MS) patients may tend toward complementary and integrative therapies. Relaxation techniques are a nonpharmacological and side-effect-free therapy option currently available to alleviate the symptoms of many different chronic diseases. The aim of this study was to examine and compare the effects of relaxation techniques on the pain, fatigue, and kinesiophobia in MS patients. METHODS: This 3-arm randomized controlled trial consisted of 80 MS patients. Relaxation techniques, progressive muscle relaxation and Benson relaxation technique were applied to 2 intervention groups, the third was the control group. The study lasted 12 weeks, and the patient information form, visual analog scale, Fatigue Severity Scale, and Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia were used for data collection. RESULTS: There was a statistically significant decrease in pain, fatigue, and kinesiophobia levels in the intervention groups compared with the control group ( P < .05). Progressive muscle relaxation was more effective than Benson relaxation technique ( P < .05). CONCLUSION: Relaxation techniques are recommended for the management of symptoms of pain, fatigue, and kinesiophobia, which can often cause disability in MS patients, because they have no side effects and are practical administrations. These exercises are also promising in the rehabilitation process of MS patients.

BACKGROUND Self-care is essential for stroke survivors to recover from neurological disorders caused by stroke and to prevent recurrences. Telehealth is an emerging technology through which self-care intervention can be provided from a distance. Review-based research is needed to determine the value and development of telehealth-based self-care interventions for stroke survivors. OBJECTIVE This study aims to provide a more comprehensive understanding of telehealth interventions to support the self-care of stroke patients. METHODS This study was performed sequentially according to the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) statement. Whittemore and Knafl's five-stage methodology was used for the integrated review process (problem identification, literature search, data evaluation, data analysis, and presentation of the results). PubMed, Ovid-MEDLINE, Ovid-EMBASE, Cochrane Library were the databases used in consultation with a librarian on February 22, 2022. The researchers used the keywords “stroke survivor,” “telehealth,” and “self-care intervention.” RESULTS Twelve studies were selected using the inclusion criteria, including nine randomized controlled trials and three non-randomized controlled trials. Four attributes were identified that represented telehealth’s functions that appeared to be associated with a self-care intervention for stroke survivors. These included introducing the concept of interaction, monitoring, education, and store and forward. These self-care interventions were found to influence the behaviors of stroke survivors' self-care maintenance (physical activity and treatment adherence), self-care monitoring (blood pressure, healthy behaviors, health diet, psychological well-being, glucose control, and depression), and self-care management (sense of control, healthcare resource utilization, social integration, and support). CONCLUSIONS Telehealth intervention can be a suitable alternative to support self-care in stoke survivors no matter the distance according to the needs of the times. Further studies are needed to estimate the health-related outcomes and cost-effectiveness with the ongoing utilization of telehealth-based self-care intervention.
