“…Additionally, owing to the pandemic, most patients had reduced access to nutritious food choices, causing caregivers to be anxious about the nutritional status of the patients. 44 The hospital should set up a food production room and the food storage room for the unit to provide food production places for patients with swallowing disorders to ensure the nutritional needs of patients are met. But, in the context of the ongoing pandemic, health and social care services encounter considerable challenges in providing consistent, coherent and responsive care.…”

BackgroundDue to the COVID-19 epidemic, Chinese hospitals are forced to impose stringent regulations, which unavoidably affect patients with stroke who need continued rehabilitation and long-term disease treatment. However, there is a lack of qualitative studies in the literature on female relative caregivers of hospitalised patients who had a stroke with dysphagia during the COVID-19 pandemic.ObjectiveIn this study, we aimed to explore the experiences of female Chinese caregivers living in the hospital with patients with post-stroke dysphagia during the pandemic.DesignWe conducted a qualitative study using semi-structured interviews.Setting(s)From May 2022 to July 2022, patients were selected from the Acupuncture and Moxibustion Ward and the Encephalopathy Ward of Shenzhen Chinese Medicine Hospital, which receives patients from across the country.Participants10 Chinese women who were caregivers of patients with post-stroke dysphagia were finally interviewed.MethodsInterviews were transcribed verbatim and analysed using Colaizzi’s approach.ResultsThe primary theme was determined to be ‘kidnapped’ lives. Other sub-themes evolved to depict the lives of female relative caregivers, including inevitable tasks and challenges, precise care, a special dietary pattern, solitary and forgotten, and an elusive future. Due to the trivial nature of caring for patients who had a stroke with dysphagia, the caregivers’ lives were tightly organised and entirely dictated by the patient’s caring needs. Consequently, the caregivers felt that their lives had been kidnapped.ConclusionsIt is imperative that healthcare workers identify and understand the living conditions of female relative caregivers in the hospital, so as to determine their difficulties and needs. Finally, caregivers deserve adequate and effective support, such as technical support, financial support and nutritional guidance.

“…The items are rated on a 4-point (0-3) scale, and higher scores indicate increased levels of stress. The scores for each subscale range from 0 to 21 and can be classified as normal (0-7), mild (8)(9)(10), moderate (11)(12)(13)(14), and severe (15)(16)(17)(18)(19)(20)(21). A HADS score of 8 or higher is considered the threshold for mild clinical symptoms, and provides optimal sensitivity and specificity for case detection [19].…”

“…Providing patients and caregivers with good education and information about recovery is an essential aspect of chronic patient care [10,11]. A recent Cochrane review provides evidence that education improves the knowledge of cardiac patients and their relatives, increases satisfaction, and decreases depression rates [12].…”

Depression and anxiety in cardiovascular disease worsen the prognosis of patients. Treatments for these disorders often provide limited improvement. The present study aimed to test, for the first time, the impact of educational technology on anxiety and depressive symptoms in patients participating in a cardiac rehabilitation program. A 12-month randomized controlled trial was conducted, in which 207 patients were randomly assigned to either the experimental (n = 76) or control (n = 69) groups. The intervention involved a structured patient education program provided by medical students who had undergone specially designed training in cardiac rehabilitation. The primary outcomes were death, hospitalization, heart failure, and recurrent myocardial infarction. The study also assessed anxiety and depression. A year later, the experimental group showed a statistically significant decrease in anxiety and depression on the HADS scale, with reductions of 2.0 and 1.9 points, respectively (p < 0.05). The control group showed reductions of 1.5 and 1.2 points (p < 0.05). The difference in the Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression between the groups at 12 months was −1.29 in favor of the main group (95% CI, −0.7 to −1.88), and the standardized mean difference was 0.36 (95% CI, 0.03 to 0.69). No treatment-related adverse events were observed. The results suggest that educational interventions can have a positive impact on mental health. The study’s strengths include a structured intervention, randomization, and long-term follow-up. The limitations include the lack of blinding of study participants and a relatively small sample size.
