Secondary Prevention and Health Promotion After Stroke

The aim of this study was to examine to what extent a one year population of stroke patients at a university hospital had well regulated risk factors and health problems one year after stroke, and if a structured nurse-led previous follow-up in the intervention group including referrals if needed could influence health outcome and risk factors one year after stroke.

About this study

The follow-up protocol was categorized into Risk factors, Patients' self-reports, and Other health problems. Referral was sent to a physician if medical interventions were needed regarding risk factors measured above the limits as stated in the follow-up protocol in accordance with guidelines,and/or if any self-reported health problems were stated by the patients, or had been detected by the Specialist Nurse. Primary outcome was comparison between the intervention group and control group at one year after stroke regarding proportion of regulated risk factors, and self-reports on health outcome. Results of the two follow-ups of the intervention group were also compared.

Secondary prevention was controlled by measuring blood pressure, Cholesterol levels, HbA1c, Weight to estimate nutritional status. Functional status was assessed. Supportive counselling was provided. Referral was sent to physician if medical interventions were needed.

Standard care until one year follow-up

Other

No intervention three months after stroke. Assessment one year after stroke and comparison with the intervention group.

Primary outcomes

  1. Risk factors and health outcome compared between intervention group and control group

    Time frame: Baseline to one year after stroke for both groups.

    Outcome for both groups after one year was measured as the proportion of risk factors sufficiently treated, the patients' self-reports on health outcome and comparison between the intervention group and the control group.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Risk factors and health outcome at two follow-ups.

    Time frame: Baseline to one year after stroke

    Comparison of health outcome at three months and one year after stroke in the intervention group.
