This study which includes three research sites will be taken as preliminary strata via the simple random sampling technique. Lottery method as one of the oldest and commonly used approach would then be followed to recruit the sample size. Screening of the participants would be taken place in the first round based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The eligible participants would be assigned with a code in the second round before recruiting the participant into the study. Lottery method (law of chance) would then be follow to allocate the participants randomly into treatment or control groups in the study sites.
Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Intervention Group
A total of 30 participants would be exposed to the nursing care training (intervention) randomly.
Transitional Care Training Program
A nursing based transitional care training intervention would be carried out to prepare the family caregivers to take care of their elderly stroke survivors at home. The intervention would be carried out for a tentative time of 2 to 3 hours to educate the family caregivers at their homes after hospitalization. The study participants would be evaluated after 8 weeks of the intervention. A structured, validated and literature based assessment checklist will be devised to assess the usefulness and feasibility of the intervention. Assistance of senior nurses and health professionals, specialized in stroke care will be taken during the training part of the program.
Control Group
A sample of 30 study participants would not be exposed to the training and would be kept in the control group. They would be a group who would receive usual care and routine awareness by their health care professionals.
