Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Investigators hypothesized that (1) Compared with those in the control group, caregivers who undergo a family-centered support program have lower care burdens, do not have a high risk of depression, and perceive better social support and quality of life; (2) Compared with those in the control group, care recipients in the family-centered support group have ideal rehabilitation adherence and are not at a high risk of depression.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Family-centered support program for caregivers of stroke survivors
Participants receive usual hospital care and our intervention
Family-centered support program for caregivers of stroke survivors
Once participants joined the family-centered support group, participants received 90-minute interventions, including an introduction to stroke and rehabilitation education, problem-solving skills training, and long-term care information. Investigators also invited participants to join the instant messaging application-based 24-h peer-support group for caregivers. On the second and fourth days after receiving the interventions, the researcher visited the participants to review and practice the content provided on the first day; each session was 30 to 40 minutes long. The researcher contacted the participants one week after participants joined the study to discuss their care difficulties or experiences and did so three times biweekly thereafter via the instant messaging application.
