Abstract
Educational planning is essential for successful transitions from hospital to home for persons with stroke and their caregivers. Guided by Orem’s self-care deficit nursing theory, the aims of this study were: 1) identification of the most frequent teaching needs for persons with stroke and their caregivers as perceived by physical and occupational therapists and 2) comparison of these identified needs with those of registered nurses and family caregivers. The subjects (n=113) were mostly white women prepared at the occupational therapy graduate educational level in the eastern United States. Descriptive statistics revealed demonstrating safe transfer techniques (82%) [hazards in Orem’s terms] was the top teaching need identified by physical and occupational therapists. Caregivers were concerned with preventing falls (71%) [hazards], and nurses’ focused on understanding the disease process (82%) [normalcy]. Educational interventions designed by healthcare teams and focused on optimal self-care outcomes promote well-being for caregivers and their care recipients.
