简要总结
Stroke is the second cause of death and third of disability in the adult population, By 2020 it is projected like the fourth cause of disability-adjusted life year (DALY) and by 2030 it is estimated that it will lead the global burden of morbidity from chronic noncommunicable diseases. As a consequence of stroke, patients show a certain degree of dependence and spend most of their time with a caregiver, especially since the subacute phase of the stroke. 80% of patients who survive have motor problems. The proper care during the first three months will significantly improve until 95% the patient rehabilitation. Caregivers have reported the need for information about clinical, prevention and treatment of stroke, like information about specific tasks of patient care, mobilizations, exercises, etc. Therefore, it is necessary to train and educate the caregivers in physical aspects of care, recovery and secondary prevention. However, oversaturated health systems, insufficient number of specialists, social inequity, limited coverage and speed of access to health services are factors that make difficult to educate caregivers. Studies have demonstrated that the Information Technology applied to health is a promising solution to educate and empower the patient, carer and family. For instance, the use of educational videos to improve the level of practice or knowledge of patients with chronic pain and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. This project aims to evaluate the efficacy of the use of educational videos for caregivers of patients in subacute phase of stroke through of the change of the level of practice, knowledge and satisfaction.
详细描述
Sample size A sample size of 10 participants, it is possible to detect minimum differences of 10% to 20%, with standard deviations of 5% to 10%.
Statistical analysis plan The data collected will be entered into a database in Microsoft Excel, to be analyzed by the Epi Info statistical program. The qualitative variables will be analyzed by frequencies and percentages, the quantitative variables by arithmetic mean and standard deviation, some of them categorized for its interpretation. The bivariate analysis between two qualitative variables will be carried out using Fisher's exact test, the analysis between a qualitative variable and a quantitative one will be carried out through the Mann-Whitney U tests (non-normal distribution) and Student's t test (normal distribution). After the intervention, the level of practice and knowledge of the caregivers on the basic management of patients in the subacute phase of the stroke will generate a variable called "change of score", whose p-value should be less than 0.05.
Plan for missing data Due to the characteristics of the intervention, the investigators do not expect much loss to follow up patients after recruitment. However, all missing data will be reported as such.

结局指标
主要结局
Practice level
时间窗: Before and after 30 minutes of watching each video the participant will be evaluated. This method will be used for the 8 videos developed. Therefore, there will be a change in the practice level.
We will use the "evaluation form of the practice level", a check list with items that the caregiver should perform for the 8 activities represented in the 8 videos, for each activity a minimum of 4 items and a maximum of 9 items will be evaluated. The number of items for each activity is summed, so the total number of items is 49. Therefore, the minimum score is 0% (the caregiver performed 0% of items) and the maximum score is 100% (the caregiver performed 100% of items). The higher percentage represents a better result. This instrument will be review for experts, so the number of items could change.
次要结局
- Satisfaction level(After of watching all the videos, the participant will be evaluated. Minimum 1 video and maximum 3 videos will be evaluated per day. Therefore, minimum 3 days and maximum 8 days will be needed. The days will not be necessarily followed.)
- Knowledge level(Before and after 30 minutes of watching each video, the participant will be evaluated. This method will be used for the 8 videos developed. Therefore, there will be a change in the knowledge level.)
