Brief Summary

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

This study is about exploring the effectiveness of individual and family self-management (IFSM) fall prevention programs on balance ability and fall-related self-efficacy in post-stroke people. The main intervention measures were developed based on the risk and protective factors of fall prevention in post-stroke people, including exercise, environment safety, assistant technology, medication review, and safety in daily activities. The intervention was implemented in 10 weeks for both patients and their family members. By mastering these skills, post-stroke people may reduce the number of falls after discharge to home.

individual and family self-management (IFSM) fall prevention program

The IFSM program will be last for ten weeks, two weeks in the hospital, and follow up at eight weeks after patients discharge to home. It includes 11 sessions, including ten sessions developed in the inpatient department within two weeks and one online booster session developed in the first month (week 4) after discharge in home. There will be also one session just for caregivers, which aims to improve caregivers' skills to keep patients' safety. In the process, self-efficacy strategies, self-regulation skills, and social facilitation are used in every session. The main self-efficacy strategies includes skill mastery, vicarious experience, and verbal persuasion. Several self-regulation skills for patients and caregivers are also used in the study, such as self-monitoring and reflective thinking. A WeChat group will be established to support patients and their families.

usual care

Participants in the control group will receive usual care, including standard clinical practices such as education on fall prevention and a fall prevention booklet. The education will be delivered by the researcher and does not include any additional intervention specific to the study. A fall prevention care plan will be manually documented in the electronic health record. After the patients are discharged home, a phone visit will be provided for patients within the first month, which will include a medication review and professional access. Participants will also use a fall record diary to record falls in the control group, and this will be copied for data extraction after the experiment.
