Brief Summary

The aim of this study was to examine to what extent a one year population of stroke patients at a university hospital had well regulated risk factors and health problems one year after stroke, and if a structured nurse-led previous follow-up in the intervention group including referrals if needed could influence health outcome and risk factors one year after stroke.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Risk factors and health outcome compared between intervention group and control group

  Outcome for both groups after one year was measured as the proportion of risk factors sufficiently treated, the patients' self-reports on health outcome and comparison between the intervention group and the control group.

  Baseline to one year after stroke for both groups.

Secondary Outcomes (1)

• Risk factors and health outcome at two follow-ups.

  Baseline to one year after stroke

Study Arms (2)

Intervention group

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Control of secondary prevention at three months and one year after stroke and referral to physician if medical interventions are needed. Assessment of functional status and self-reports on health outcome. Supportive counselling provided.

Other: Secondary prevention, supportive counselling

Control group

OTHER

Standard care with no outlined follow-up until one year after stroke. Control of secondary prevention after one year after stroke and referral to physician if medical interventions are needed. Follow-up one year after stroke according to the same protocol as the intervention group.

Other: Standard care until one year follow-up

Interventions

Secondary prevention, supportive counselling OTHER

Patients' self-reports on Mobility, Self Care, Usual activities, Pain/Discomfort, Anxiety/Depression, Health Outcome were registered. Health problems were assessed. Secondary prevention was controlled by measuring blood pressure, Cholesterol levels, HbA1c, Weight to estimate nutritional status. Functional status was assessed. Supportive counselling was provided. Referral was sent to physician if medical interventions were needed.

Intervention group

Standard care until one year follow-up OTHER

No intervention three months after stroke. Assessment one year after stroke and comparison with the intervention group.

Control group
