Description
Sarah-Jane Byrne and co-authors survey stroke survivors about follow-up prevention care in this 2026 conference abstract. After a first stroke, patients get advice and treatment meant to cut the risk of another, a task where nurses play a growing part. The team asked patients in an early supported discharge program how that advice reached them and what they still needed.
Twenty-five patients answered the paper survey, half of those asked. Over a quarter first heard about prevention only after reaching home. Most liked the idea of an education booklet, and a fifth wanted a nurse phone line for later questions. Nearly all said they would rather get this guidance at home from a nurse specialist. The team will use the answers to build a teaching resource for those nurses.
