The results showed that after applying the rehabilitation nursing model, nurses’ mean scores of knowledges regarding stroke patient care, skills in rehabilitation caring stroke patient, and perception towards applying the rehabilitation nursing model into practice were significantly higher than before having the rehabilitation nursing model (p-value < 0.01). Moreover, the mean scores of skills of the caregivers after applying the rehabilitation nursing model were significantly higher (p-value < 0.01).
