Stroke can lead to permanent and severe disability. Provision of information to stroke survivors and their carers could help them cope with consequences of stroke and aware of secondary prevention.
The aim of this Cochrane review was to assess the effects of active or passive information provision for stroke survivors or their carers.
The population addressed in this review included stroke survivors, their carers, or both. The intervention studied was provision of active or passive information compared to standard care or where information and another therapy were compared with the other therapy alone, or where the comparison was between active and passive information provision. The primary outcomes were knowledge about stroke and stroke services, and anxiety.
The authors concluded that the active provision of information may improve stroke survivors stroke-related knowledge and quality of life. It may reduce the cases and symptoms of anxiety and probably depression. The effect of active information provision to carers and passive information provision is still unclear; however, passive information may worsen stroke patients' symptoms of anxiety and depression.
中风可导致永久性和严重的残疾。向中风幸存者及其照顾者提供信息，可以帮助他们应对中风的后果，并了解二级预防。
本 Cochrane 综述的目的是评估主动或被动信息提供给中风幸存者或其照顾者的效果。
本综述的研究对象包括中风幸存者、照顾者或两者。研究的干预措施是提供主动或被动信息，与标准护理相比，或者信息和另一种治疗方法与单独的另一种治疗方法相比，或者主动和被动信息提供方法之间的比较。主要结局指标是中风和中风服务的知识，以及焦虑。
作者得出结论，主动提供信息可能会提高中风幸存者对中风相关知识和生活质量的认识。它可能会减少焦虑和可能的抑郁的病例和症状。对照顾者的主动信息提供和对被动信息提供的效果仍不清楚；然而，被动信息可能会加重中风患者的焦虑和抑郁症状。
