The health education courses designed by the nursing team have been proven to significantly enhance patients' ability to recognize stroke symptoms, their awareness of seeking medical treatment in a timely manner, and their ability to monitor daily health (Sit et al., 2007). Such courses usually contain training content for patients and their families, which helps to better control risk factors and choose a healthy lifestyle. Meanwhile, the stroke prevention programs carried out in the community have demonstrated long-term improvements in patients’ relevant knowledge levels and behavioral patterns. Such projects focus on guiding lifestyle changes such as adjusting dietary structure and strengthening physical exercise, which play an important role in reducing the risk of recurrent stroke (Sit et al., 2007). Through continuous health education and support, nursing staff can help patients actively participate in health management and ultimately achieve more ideal rehabilitation effects. 5.3 Enhance medication norms and self-management Strengthening medication norms and self-management ability is an important link in the long-term care of stroke. The research by Wang et al. (2021) shows that the management measures implemented by nursing staff significantly increased the proportion of on-time medication of antihypertensive, blood sugar control and lipid-regulating drugs. These measures include regular follow-up visits, medication guidance, and setting up medication prompts, etc., to ensure that patients correctly implement the treatment plan. Another study shows that the composite management program combined with health cognition training has significant effects in improving patients’ behavioral habits, medication norms, blood pressure control and physical functions (Wang et al., 2020). Such programs usually include modules such as disease knowledge education, health record manuals, regular text message reminders and phone follow-ups, helping patients better manage their own health. By enhancing medication norms and self-management capabilities, the nursing team can effectively reduce the recurrence rate of stroke and improve the overall rehabilitation quality of patients. 6 Family and Social Support 6.1 Importance of family training and collaborative care Family training and collaborative care are essential components in the rehabilitation of stroke patients. Effective family training ensures that caregivers are well-prepared to manage the complex needs of stroke survivors, which can significantly improve patient outcomes. Studies have shown that family-centered care models, which emphasize collaboration between healthcare providers and family members, can enhance the preparedness of caregivers and improve the overall quality of care provided at home (Camicia et al., 2021; Zhang and Yano, 2023). This approach not only helps in the physical rehabilitation of the patient but also addresses the emotional and psychological needs of both the patient and the caregiver, fostering a supportive home environment (Creasy et al., 2015). Moreover, family training programs that include education on stroke management, caregiving skills, and emotional support have been found to reduce caregiver burden and improve their ability to provide effective care. For instance, a study highlighted the importance of understanding family caregiving abilities and providing specific support to enhance these abilities, which can help maintain the quality of life for both the patient and the caregiver (Zhang and Yano, 2023). By involving families in the care process and equipping them with the necessary skills and knowledge, healthcare providers can ensure a smoother transition from hospital to home care, ultimately leading to better long-term outcomes for stroke survivors (Creasy et al., 2015; Camicia et al., 2021). 6.2 Utilization of community care services and access to resources Community care services play a pivotal role in the post-stroke recovery process by providing essential support and resources to both patients and their families. These services include home visits by nurses and community health workers, access to rehabilitation programs, and support groups that facilitate community reintegration (Gayenell et al., 2020). Community-based interventions can significantly improve the quality of life, self-efficacy, and
