Abstract
The aim of the study was to evaluate whether participation of patient attendants in care of patients with Cerebrovascular Accident made any difference in the ability of patient’s attendant’s in providing care for patients with Cerebrovascular Accident compared to those who did not participate in care. The Conceptual framework followed is nursing process model based on Dorothy E. Johnson's Behavior System Model of Nursing (1980). A quasi experimental pretest post test control group design was used to evaluate the effectiveness of participation of patient attendants in care of patient with Cerebrovascular Accident on their ability in providing care for those patients. The sample consisted of 40 attendants (control group-20, experimental group-20) who were selected from the population based on the sampling criteria using convenient sampling technique. The data from the samples were collected by using a structured interview schedule and observational checklists. A pre test was conducted in experimental and the control group by assessing their ability in meeting selected care needs (oral care, bed bath and back massage, tube feeding, assisting in elimination) using a checklist. In the experimental group, the technique of meeting selected care needs (oral care, bed bath and back massage, tube feeding, assisting in elimination) were demonstrated by the investigator, on the first day after the pretest and the next 2 days they all participated in the care along with the investigator and corrections and encouragement were given during their participation. After 1 week post test was conducted. No intervention was given for the control group after pre test, and subsequent observation was done after 1 week. The caregivers in the control group were also taught and allowed to clarify their doubts after the data collection for their benefits. Significant mean score difference was seen in the level of ability in providing care between the experimental and control group. Significant difference is seen in all the four aspects of care. There was a significant improvement in the ability to provide oral care (t=35.155 df=38 P=0.05), bed bath and back massage (t=45.78 df=38 P=0.05) tube feeding (t=58.99 df=38 P=0.05) and the ability in assisting in elimination (t=30.02 df=38 P=0.05) in the experimental group compared to the control group after the intervention The results showed that experimental group had a significant increase in the overall ability in providing care (pre M=22.10 and post M=57.80) (t=60.23 df=38 p=0.05) after intervention. But there was no significant change in the mean ability score among the control group. The findings of the study conclude that the participation of patient attendants in care of patients with Cerebrovascular Accident had an effect on their ability in providing care to those patients. It improves their ability in providing care and ensures the safety of the patients and minimizes the risk of complications.
