Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The aim of this study is to establish PAtient-Centered Computerized Educating System for Stroke (PACCESS) for patients with different demands and lack of knowledge.Those in the intervention group will receive the PACCESS and the control groups will receive traditional health education to test the effects of PACCESS in increasing clinical decision-making, health behavior, activities of daily living and knowledge of stroke, and health care quality.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

To prevent recurrent stroke and improve the health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in patients with stroke, education regarding the risk factors of recurrent stroke is a crucial part of effective care for patients with stroke. The aim of this study was to develop an application capable of providing health education for recurrent-stroke prevention. We also examined the effectiveness of this app for improving stroke-related knowledge and HRQOL in patients with stroke.
