Abstract

The purpose of this study is to examine the efficacy of digital remote tel-system program on stroke patients in Taiwan. Pre-experimental design with convenience sampling was used in this study. A total of 91 participants were recruited with two questionnaires (demographic and SF-36) used. The results showed the quality of life improved significantly after the digital remote tel-system program. The need of home based care for stroke patients after discharge is reported and a digital remote tel-system program is a potentially effective way to fill the need of the patients.

 

Key words: Stroke, Taiwan, digital remote tel-system.
