Abstract EN
Background: Stroke is the main cause of adult inability and dependency on caregiver in performing activities of daily living (ADLs).
Studies showed that the caregivers of such patients experienced high levels of dependency-induced caring pressure and, consequently, physical-psychological problems.
Objectives: The present study aimed to examine the effect of the instructional intervention on family caregivers’ perceived threatof stroke patients dependency risk.
Methods: In a randomized controlled clinical trial study, a total of 45 pairs of stroke patients and their family caregivers were selectedbased on inclusion and exclusion criteria and randomly divided into the intervention and control groups.
Sampling lastedfrom July 2016 to March 2017 and was performed in Tehran, Iran.
Instructional intervention for family caregivers in the interventiongroup was in the form of four one-hour sessions.
The data were collected before and immediately after instructional interventionat the hospital as well as two weeks and two months following the intervention via postal service.
Results: Themeanrank of family caregivers’ perceived threat was 1.
44 and 2.
76 in pre-intervention stage of intervention and controlgroups, which became 2.
49 and 2.
49 two months after intervention, respectively.
The Friedman test showed that there was a significantdifference in all post instructional intervention stages compared with pre-intervention (P < 0.
001), whereas no such differencewas observed in the control group (P = 0.
245).
The Mann-Whitney U test also showed that the pre-intervention family caregivers perceivedthreat was also not significantly different in the two groups (P = 0.
591).
However, it was increased immediately, two weeks, and two months following the intervention compared with the control group (P < 0.
001).
Conclusions: It is recommended that stroke patients’ caregivers be provided with instructional programs to enhance their understandingof patient dependency risks and challenges.
