An interventional study of Educational intervention based on the Precede-Proceed Model for individuals caring for stroke home care patients in Stroke, sponsored by Mustafa Kemal University. Completed at 1 site in Turkey. Open to participants aged 18 Years and older. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2024-12-11.

Although stroke home care patients receive various treatments, they generally continue their lives as semi-dependent or fully dependent. Considering that stroke patients are especially elderly individuals, it is seen that they receive home health services and need a caregiver. The caregiver feels themselves under a heavy burden due to the lack of knowledge and insufficient experience. In addition, the lack of social support levels and the lack of training in patient care cause negative effects on patient outcomes.
The research will be carried out face-to-face with 70 stroke patients who receive health care from the home health services unit of a State Hospital and 70 individuals who care for these patients between July 2023 and December 2023. This study is a single-sample study with its own control group. During the implementation phase of the research, home visits will be made to the patients and training based on the Precede-Proceed model will be given to the individuals who care for the patients in the meeting room of the hospital where the research will be conducted. The collection of research data will take place in three stages. In the research, pre-education evaluation will be collected at the hospital before the training for the caregivers and home visits for the patients. In the second stage, the training program planned for the caregivers will be implemented in the meeting room of the hospital. After the training program reaches all of the caregivers in the determined number, the first evaluation will be made for the caregivers and the patient in the 8th week after the training is over. The third stage is the 16th week after the completion of the training, and the final evaluation will be made for the patients and caregivers. In the study, data will be collected using the individual caregiver personal information form, the caregiver response rating scale and the multidimensional perceived social support scale, and the patient personal information form for the patients. Statistical significance level will be accepted as p\<0.05.

Exclusion Criteria:
Before applying the education program based on the Precede-Proceed Model to 70 individuals who care for stroke home care patients, the evaluation of the patients will be made with home visits. After the training is given to the caregivers, the first evaluation will be made at the 8th week in order to determine the change in patient results after the training is completed. In the 16th week after the completion of the training, a final evaluation will be made with home visits to determine the change in patient results.
Before the training program based on the Precede-Proceed Model is applied to the 70 individuals who care for stroke home care patients, the evaluation of the caregivers will be made in the hospital meeting room. After the training is given to the caregivers, the first evaluation will be made at the 8th week in order to determine the changes in their caregiving reactions and social support perceptions after the training is completed. In the 16th week after the completion of the training, a final evaluation will be made in the hospital meeting room in order to determine the changes in caregiver reactions and social support perceptions.
Behavioral: Educational intervention based on the Precede-Proceed Model for individuals caring for stroke home care patients
Home visits will be made to 70 stroke patients identified during the implementation phase of the research, and training based on the Precede-Proceed model will be given to 70 individuals who care for these patients in the meeting room of the hospital where the research will be conducted. In the research, pre-education evaluation will be collected at the hospital before the training for the caregivers and home visits for the patients. In the second stage, the training program planned for the caregivers will be implemented in the meeting room of the hospital. After the training program reaches all of the caregivers in the determined number, the first evaluation will be made for the caregivers and the patient in the 8th week after the training is over. The third stage is the 16th week after the completion of the training, and the final evaluation will be made for the patients and caregivers.

Caregiver Response Rating Scale
The Caregiver Response Evaluation Scale is used in the primary care of patients with physical and mental disorders to provide self-evaluation of caregivers. The scale consists of 24 items and 5 sub-dimensions. The scale has a 5-point Likert type scoring. Positive items in the scale; 7, 13, 3, 15, 19 while negative items are 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 14, 16, 17, 18, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24' type. While scoring the positive items, the value of 1 is converted to 5, and the value of 5 is converted to 1 in the scoring. In the scoring (total score 24-120), the scores of the answers given to the statements in each sub-dimension are summed, Interruption of daily life (5-25), financial distress (3-15), lack of family support (5-25), and health problems (4- High scores in the 20) sub-dimensions indicate that the caregivers are more distressed, and a high score in the Self-worth (7-35) sub-dimension indicates that the caregivers are in good condition.
Time frame: The caregivers will be evaluated by using the Caregiver Response Evaluation Scale within the first week before the individuals who care for stroke home care patients are given training.

Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support
It is a scale to determine the social support elements perceived by individuals. The scale, which consists of 12 items in total, is a 7-point Likert-type scale (1-7) arranged as "definitely no 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 absolutely yes". It has three subscales. Items 3.4.8.11 in the scale measure support from family, items 6.7.9.12 measure support from friends and items 1.2.5.10 measure support from a special person. The lowest score that can be obtained from the subscales is 4 and the highest score is 28. The lowest score to be obtained from all of them is 12 and the highest score is 84. A high score indicates high perceived social support.
Time frame: Individuals who care for stroke home care patients will be evaluated by using the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support in the first week without training.
