Abstract
Purpose The purpose of this study was to examine the effectiveness of Adult Daycare Service (ADS) based on
partnership with caregivers for older adults who have had a stroke and their family caregivers. Methods A
quasi-experimental intervention study design was used. Older adults with a stroke from two ADS centers in Korea
were assigned to either the experimental (n=16) or control group (n=13). The experimental group received health
education and a tailored rehabilitation program by trained ADS center nurses for 12 weeks. Based on the concept
of partnership family caregivers also participated in the intervention. Results The mean ages of the elders were
76.6 years (experimental) and 77.0 years (control). There were no significant differences in socio-demographic
and clinical characteristics between the two groups. Intervention participants showed improvement in diastolic
blood pressure (p =.019), cognitive function (p<.001), instrumental activities of daily living (p<.001), and
nutritional status (p<.001). Conclusion Further research is needed to develop nursing interventions for older
adults following a stroke, being treated in long term care facilities, as well as, at home and to evaluate long term
effects of a partnership intervention to enhance participants adherence, health status, and the quality of life for older adults with stroke.
