[Determining the support needs of patients who live at home following a stroke].

The study "determining the support needs of patients who live at home following a stroke" was chosen because stroke is (one of) the most significant causes of permanent handicap in the elderly. (This project was developed as part of the studies for the degree of Nurse Manager/Teacher:) The results are based on qualitative and quantitative data collected from focus groups and a standardised questionnaire. Due to the small number of participants (57) the study cannot be regarded as representative.
