Evaluation of Cost-Effectiveness of a Virtual Multidisciplinary Stroke Care Clinic for Community-Dwelling Survivors of Stroke.

Background: A technologically integrated, multidisciplinary approach to stroke rehabilitation service was delivered and embedded into conventional health care practice. This article reports an evaluation of cost-effectiveness analysis of a new Virtual Multidisciplinary Stroke Care Clinic (VMSCC) service for community-dwelling survivors of stroke.

Methods And Results: A randomized controlled trial was conducted.

Virtual Multidisciplinary Stroke Care Clinic for Community-Dwelling Stroke Survivors: A Randomized Controlled Trial.

Background: Stroke survivors constantly feel helpless and unprepared after discharge from hospitals. More flexible and pragmatic support are needed for their optimized recovery. We examined the effects of a virtual multidisciplinary stroke care clinic on survivors' health and self-management outcomes.

User engagement in the development of a home-based virtual multidisciplinary stroke care clinic for stroke survivors and caregivers: a qualitative descriptive study.

Purpose: To understand the user expectations and the facilitators and barriers of using a virtual multidisciplinary stroke care clinic ("virtual clinic").

Methods: A qualitative descriptive study involving two rounds of face-to-face semi-structured interviews per participant was conducted. We purposively recruited ten participants in Hong Kong who were receiving traditional stroke rehabilitation.

Promoting community reintegration using narratives and skills building for young adults with stroke: a protocol for a randomised controlled trial.

Background: Stroke in adults aged between 18 and 64 years old is increasing significantly worldwide. Studies have reported that this group of young stroke survivors encounters enormous difficulties reintegrating into their social roles. Individualised discussions with healthcare professionals and learning from other survivors are imperative for them to reconstruct their identities after stroke.

Effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of a virtual multidisciplinary stroke care clinic for community-dwelling stroke survivors and caregivers: a randomised controlled trial protocol.

Introduction: The virtual multidisciplinary stroke care clinic (VMSCC) is the first nurse-led clinic developed to offer support to community-dwelling stroke survivors and caregivers, and to promote poststroke recovery. This two-arm randomised controlled trial will evaluate its effectiveness on survivors' self-efficacy (SE), survivors' and caregivers' health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and cost-effectiveness on emergency admissions and length of readmission hospital stay.

Methods And Analysis: A consecutive sample of 384 stroke survivor-caregiver dyads will be recruited from four hospitals.
