The purpose of this paper is to describe the development of an educational guide for stroke survivors and their families. The suggestion for this project came from the St. John's Stroke Survivors' Group. This is a self-help group composed of stroke survivors and their families who meet to provide mutual support and encouragement. Many of the members of the stroke survivors' group felt frustrated because they did not receive adequate information from health professionals during their stroke recovery. Specifically, this paper describes the content of the guide as well as the process used in its development. The content was formulated by health professionals and stroke survivors. Because of high illiteracy levels in Newfoundland, a literacy expert was employed for preparation of the final product. The guide can be used by nurses as a teaching aid for stroke survivors and their families.
本文旨在描述为中风幸存者及其家人制定的一份教育指南的制定过程。该项目的建议来自圣约翰中风幸存者小组。这是一个由中风幸存者及其家人组成的自助小组，他们聚在一起相互支持和鼓励。中风幸存者小组的许多成员感到沮丧，因为他们在中风康复期间没有从健康专业人员那里获得足够的信息。具体而言，本文描述了该指南的内容以及制定过程。内容由健康专业人员和中风幸存者共同制定。由于纽芬兰的文盲率较高，因此聘请了一位识字专家来准备最终产品。护士可以将该指南用作中风幸存者及其家人的教学辅助工具。
