ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying whether education led by nurses can help reduce the chances of having another stroke for patients who have had their first stroke. Many people may not fully understand how to manage their health after a stroke, which can lead to a higher risk of having another one. By providing health education and teaching both patients and their family caregivers about lifestyle changes and how to monitor risk factors, the researchers hope to help patients avoid a second stroke.

To participate, you must be at least 18 years old and have had your first stroke, among other criteria. Family caregivers who live with the stroke patient and are willing to help with the study can also join. If you decide to take part, you can expect to receive valuable information and support from nurses that can help you manage your health better. It's important to know that this study is still looking for participants, and those interested will need to provide written consent to join.
