About this study

Official title: Secondary Prevention and Health Promotion After Stroke A Nurse-led Randomized Controlled Open Trial

The aim of this study was to examine to what extent a one year population of stroke patients at a university hospital had well regulated risk factors and health problems one year after stroke, and if a structured nurse-led previous follow-up in the intervention group including referrals if needed could influence health outcome and risk factors one year after stroke.

Read the detailed description

The follow-up protocol was categorized into Risk factors, Patients' self-reports, and Other health problems. Referral was sent to a physician if medical interventions were needed regarding risk factors measured above the limits as stated in the follow-up protocol in accordance with guidelines,and/or if any self-reported health problems were stated by the patients, or had been detected by the Specialist Nurse. Primary outcome was comparison between the intervention group and control group at one year after stroke regarding proportion of regulated risk factors, and self-reports on health outcome. Results of the two follow-ups of the intervention group were also compared.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Secondary prevention, supportive counsellingOther

    Patients' self-reports on Mobility, Self Care, Usual activities, Pain/Discomfort, Anxiety/Depression, Health Outcome were registered. Health problems were assessed. Secondary prevention was controlled by measuring blood pressure, Cholesterol levels, HbA1c, Weight to estimate nutritional status. Functional status was assessed. Supportive counselling was provided. Referral was sent to physician if medical interventions were needed.

  • Standard care until one year follow-upOther

    No intervention three months after stroke. Assessment one year after stroke and comparison with the intervention group.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Risk factors and health outcome compared between intervention group and control group

    Outcome for both groups after one year was measured as the proportion of risk factors sufficiently treated, the patients' self-reports on health outcome and comparison between the intervention group and the control group.

    Measured: Baseline to one year after stroke for both groups.

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Risk factors and health outcome at two follow-ups.

    Comparison of health outcome at three months and one year after stroke in the intervention group.

    Measured: Baseline to one year after stroke
