Summary

Currently there is a lot of literatures on stroke rehabilitation and post-discharge therapy. However, there are few evidence based guidelines on patient engagement after stroke in the post-rehabilitation community phase. There is evidence from stroke studies that stroke patients with mild to moderate disability, discharged early from an acute hospital unit can be rehabilitated in the community by an interdisciplinary stroke rehabilitation team and attain similar functional outcomes when compared to patients receiving in-patient rehabilitation. There is strong evidence that additional hospital based outpatient therapy improves short term functional outcomes compared to routine care over short term. Although meta-analyses have examined the efficacy of self management education programs, the interpretation of such reviews is limited by heterogeneity in populations and interventions and the limited range of outcomes measured. Few randomized controlled trials have found a reduction in health service utilization, such as incidences of hospitalization (in patients with chronic lung disease, heart disease, stroke and arthritis) as a direct outcome of attending an education program. For self-management support to be effective and sustainable in the community, it is postulated that initiatives simultaneously focus on supporting patients to engage in self management and equipping health care professionals with the necessary resources to assist them.
