Seconder Complication Awareness of Caregivers
An observational study of Stroke Rehabilitation, run by Ankara Etlik City Hospital at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).
Trial summary
Stroke-related secondary complications increase the length of hospital stay, negatively affect the functional expectation in the rehabilitation process and increase repeated hospital admissions. For these reasons, complications secondary to stroke are associated with mortality and increased economic burden. Read more about this study

About this study
Official title: Evaluation of Secondary Complication Awareness Among Caregivers of Post-stroke Patients
Stroke-related secondary complications increase the length of hospital stay, negatively affect the functional expectation in the rehabilitation process and increase repeated hospital admissions. For these reasons, complications secondary to stroke are associated with mortality and increased economic burden. Prevention of secondary complications is important. Increasing the level of knowledge and awareness of caregivers, who are constantly with the patient, about secondary complications is effective in preventing secondary complications. The aim of this study was to evaluate the level of awareness of caregivers about secondary complications related to stroke and the effect of rehabilitation process. There is no study or scale evaluating the level of awareness of secondary complications related to stroke in the literature.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Test
The test will assess caregivers' level of knowledge about secondary complications. Secondary complications to be investigated include spasticity and joint contracture, dysphagia and aspiration, depression, hemiplegic shoulder, fall and fracture risk, central pain, neurogenic bladder and urinary tract infection, pressure ulcer, convulsion, deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism. The test will consist of a total of 20 questions using true/false questions respectively. Patients can take points between 0 and 20. Higher points mean better results.
Measured: first day of hospitalisation and 4th week of hospitalisation
Secondary outcomes (1)
The Questionnaire
The questionnaire will assess caregivers' ideas about their level of knowledge about secondary complications. Secondary complications to be investigated include spasticity and joint contracture, dysphagia and aspiration, depression, hemiplegic shoulder, fall and fracture risk, central pain, neurogenic bladder and urinary tract infection, pressure ulcer, convulsion, deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism. The questionnaire will consist of a total of 20 questions using10-point Likert scale respectively. Patients can take points between 0 and 200. Higher points mean better results.
Measured: First day of hospitalisation, 4th week of hospitalisation
