Summary

This study looks at whether a nurse-led transitional care program helps stroke survivors and their caregivers after leaving the hospital. About 130 stroke survivors, their caregivers, and healthcare workers in Tanzania will take part. The program includes face-to-face sessions and phone calls to improve discharge readiness, self-management, and quality of life over six months.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to

If successful, this program could improve how stroke patients transition from hospital to home, leading to better self-care and quality of life.

What could go wrong

This is an observational study with only 130 participants, so results may not apply broadly. It measures outcomes like self-efficacy and quality of life, not survival or cure.
