Summary

Introduction: The progress of stroke recovery is slow and enduring. If stroke survivors are not properly managed to facilitate their rehabilitation after discharged from hospital, their risk for recurrence after an index stroke will be very high. Globally, nurse-led post-acute stroke clinics have been developed to provide tertiary care services to support stroke survivors. While synthesized evidence supports the idea that the post-stroke services delivered by nurses in the clinic can improve the functional ability and reduce the readmission rate, shortcomings of these services such as compulsory traveling time and cost, long waiting time at the clinic, and the pandemic situation limit the clinic utilization by stroke survivors. Telecare consultation is a new modality aiming to provide a new healthcare access experience to the public, though how it can be applied in nurse-led clinic and what effects it can bring about on post-stroke survivors has not been reported.

DEVICE

telecare consultation

Two tertiary stroke care consultations will be provided by stroke nurses via telecare in 2 months. Consultation content includes provide education on modifying stroke-specific risk factors, disseminate self-management knowledge, reinforce the importance of medication compliance, revise the blood and investigation results, and co-design and follow-up on mutually agreed rehabilitation goals with the subjects. When necessary, the nurse will also refer the stroke survivors to multidisciplinary team members according to the referral guidelines. The nurse will also encourage the patients' family and/or informal caregivers to participate in the consultations.
