62 participantsStarted 2024-08-10
Plain-language summary
Caregivers play a key role in the provision of day-to-day care and the coordination of care services. Caregivers of stroke patients use dysfunctional coping strategies to cope with the stressors and burden of care they encounter during this long caregiving process. In this study, it will be tried to improve the stress coping skills of caregivers by using an application with chatbot support based on the COM-B model.In the study, introductory information form, stress coping styles scale, depression, anxiety, stress (DASS 21) and burden of care measurement tool will be used. The study will be conducted in a randomized controlled manner. Chatbot will be applied to the experimental group and the control group will be exposed to routine practice. The study group will consist of individuals who care for those who are discharged home from Atatürk University stroke center. Experiments and controls will be accessed by searching the hospital records. The fact that nursing education is given through a chatbot and that the chatbot is designed according to a stress training model (behavior change wheel) reflects the originality of the study. With this study, caregivers are expected to be able to manage stress effectively by teaching them how to cope with stress.

Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
