About this study
Official title: Nurse-Led Bedside Trunk Control Care Program for Patients With Stroke
This study aimed to apply care for stroke survivors by establishing trustable professional activities competency indicators and a trunk control care module for rehabilitation ward nurses during our second year.
Read the detailed description
Thus, the purposes of this study were: (1) to evaluate the effect of a stepwise nurse-led bedside trunk control care module intervention on improving trunk control, respiratory function, and quality of life in patients with stroke and (2) to modify and confirm the milestones and trustable professional activities of competence in trunk impairment care for patients with stroke to provide evidence-based nursing education and cultivate new nurses' competence in trunk injury care in the future.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Trunk Control Care ProgramOther
- The intervention group underwent a 4-week bedside trunk control care module intervention based on routine care in a rehabilitation ward.
- trunk control care module: combine the care strategies of "arm training, butterfly technique, shoulder control, diaphragmatic breathing" and "body awareness", practice twice a day, each time for 20-30 minutes, and can be adjusted according to the patient's condition.
