Experiences of healthcare providers, survivors and caregivers with hospital-to-home stroke transitional care in Tanzania: a qualitative study
The experiences of healthcare providers, patients and caregivers during stroke transitional care in Tanzania highlight achievements and key areas for improvement. Hospital-to-home transition is often characterised by uncertainty and emotional strain, emphasising the need for effective communication, involving patients and caregivers in care, as well as coordinating transitional care to address medical and psychosocial needs of survivors and their caregivers during and after discharge.
