Educational Intervention With Digital Technology For Family Caregivers
Educational Intervention With Digital Technology For Family Caregivers Of Elderly After Stroke: Randomized Pragmatic Trial
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 18 Jan 2024
Brief summary (registry, in English)
Family caregivers of elderly stroke survivors face challenging difficulties such as the lack of support and the knowledge and skills to practice home care. The aim of this research is to compare the effect of an educational intervention for informal caregivers of elderly stroke survivors, in their capacity to care. A pragmatic randomized clinical trial, blinded for outcome assessment, will be conducted at a university hospital in the south of Brazil. Caregivers will be recruited and divided into two groups: intervention group and control group. The intervention will consist in a course in digital format developed by nurses to help the family caregiver of elderly people after a stroke to take care of their relative after hospital discharge. The control group will not receive the intervention. The primary outcome will be the caregivers' capacity to care. The study was submitted to the evaluation of the institution's ethics committee. All participants will signed the informed consent, which ensured voluntary and anonymous participation, as well as freedom to withdraw from the study at any time, without prejudice in the hospitalisation and in the relationship with the health team at the study site.
