简要总结
Due to the brutality of stroke and increasingly shorter lengths of hospital stay, patients and their families must adapt quickly to the patient's new state of health and the new role of caregiver for family members. Patients and caregivers report a significant need for advice and information during this transition period. Thus, the provision of information through an Internet platform could meet these characteristics, in association with individualised support by a case-manager to ensure continuity of care and improve care pathway.
The investigating team's hypothesis is that, through comprehensive, individualized and flexible support for patients and their caregivers, a patient-centred post-stroke hospital/home transition program, combining an Internet platform and telephone follow-up by a case-manager, could improve patients' level of participation and quality of life.
详细描述
Going back home following a stroke is a key step for the patient and his or her relatives. Due to the brutality of stroke and increasingly shorter lengths of hospital stay, patients and their families must adapt quickly to the patient's new state of health and the new role of caregiver for family members. Currently, 70% of patients return home directly after treatment in a stroke center. Following the acute phase, the patient's care path involves many health and social workers. However, the health care system is complex and difficult for patients and their caregivers to understand. A lack of support during the hospital/home transition has significant negative consequences for the patient (reduced functional prognosis, quality of life and reintegration, increased risk of recurrence) and his or her caregiver (increased perceived burden, decreased quality of life, socio-economic impact).
Patients and caregivers report a significant need for advice and information during this transition period. They are looking for individualized, good quality information and whose nature evolves over time with the needs and recovery of the patient. Thus, the provision of information through an Internet platform could meet these characteristics, in association with individualised support by a case-manager to ensure continuity of care and improve care pathway. In France, no such program has been developed to date for stroke. Existing transition programmes mainly focus on home rehabilitation and do not offer a comprehensive approach to the situation, integrating caregivers. In addition, no programs have been developed in partnership with patients and families to best meet their needs.
The investigator's hypothesis is that, through comprehensive, individualized and flexible support for patients and their caregivers, a patient-centred post-stroke hospital/home transition program, combining an Internet platform and telephone follow-up by a case-manager, could improve patients' level of participation and quality of life.
