Clinical staff’s perceptions of transitional care from hospital to home for stroke patients: a qualitative study
Clinical staff in the neurology department could recognize the significance of transitional care for stroke patients. However, heavy workloads, inadequate competence, and limited learning opportunities reported by nurses hinder their participation in transitional care. To ensure quality transitional care, nurses, in particular, need equitable access to training in areas such as stroke pathophysiology, rehabilitation, symptom monitoring and evaluation, communication, and educational skills. Guidance from clinical specialists is strongly recommended to enhance the implementation and quality of transitional care.
