Abstract
Purpose: To study developing care competence of caregivers for stroke patients
Design: Quasi Experimental One Group Pretest - Posttest Design
Method: The research samples comprised 38 caregivers. Research instruments were: 1) a personal information form and 2) a care competence of caregivers in caring stroke patient questionnaires. The caregivers gained knowledge and practice skills in caring stroke patients for four days. Differences between caregivers’ competence in caring stroke patients mean scores before and after participating in the research project were analyzed via paired samples t – test and interviewed data were analyzed by content analysis.
Results: The results revealed that the mean score of caregivers’ competence in caring stroke patients was significantly higher than that before participating in the research project, p<.001. Conclusion: It is suggested that preparation caregivers’ competence in caring stroke patients by providing knowledge and skills before patients were discharged from hospital can enhance caregivers’ self-confidence to take care of patients effectively.
