Özet
Nurse-led education and follow-up for stroke patients may facilitate management and improve quality of life. This study investigated the effect of a nurse-led education program for stroke patients on sleep and life quality. A total of 92 stroke patients (46 in the intervention group, 46 in the control group) aged 18 to 75 years who were independently mobile (less than or equal to one assistive device) and had no other neurologic or psychiatric disorders or history of sleep disorder prior to stroke were included. Patients randomized to the intervention group completed a 20-week education and follow-up program including information about stroke, rehabilitation, adaptation to daily life, and the importance of sleep quality. In the posttest, the intervention group had significantly higher sleep quality and stroke-specific quality of life scores than the control group. This study may serve as a guide for nurses who work with stroke patients.
