| Experimental: Intervention group Participants in the experimental group were provided an education program through the Care Action Module during their hospitalization period, and follow-up was conducted one and two months after discharge. |
Other: Specific Thematic Nursing Care Action Modules (STNC-AM)
The STNC-AM platform that investigators present here is an educational program that integrates education and coaching.
The nurse coaching component was based on the STNC-AM platform. This online platform can guide nurses' health education for the comprehensive care of stroke patients. Nurses can use an iPad and enter the STNC-AM platform website, where they can directly access the Care Action Module.

| No Intervention: Control group The control group received no intervention, except for the regular care followed by the nurses in general in the rehabilitation ward. |
Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Illness Perception_change is being assessed [The data collection was conducted at three time points: first week (baseline; Time 1) of admission to the rehabilitation ward and then first month (Time 2) and second month (Time 3) follow-up after discharge.]
Investigators used the Illness Perception Questionnaire-Revised (IPQ-R) to evaluate stroke patients' positive illness representation. Investigators used the three positive domains (personal control, treatment control, and illness coherence) of illness representation to evaluate stroke patients' positive illness representation. Total scores ranged from 16 to 80 in each domain. High scores on all three dimensions (personal control, treatment control, and illness coherence) indicated a more positive illness representation.
- Depression and Anxiety_change is being assessed [The data collection was conducted at three time points: first week (baseline; Time 1) of admission to the rehabilitation ward and then first month (Time 2) and second month (Time 3) follow-up after discharge.]
Investigators used the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) to evaluate stroke patients' depression and anxiety.Total scores ranged from 0 to 21 in each domain, and higher scores indicated higher anxiety or depression.
- Resilience_change is being assessed [The data collection was conducted at three time points: first week (baseline; Time 1) of admission to the rehabilitation ward and then first month (Time 2) and second month (Time 3) follow-up after discharge.]
Investigators used the Resilience Scale (RS) to evaluate stroke patients' resilience.Total scores ranged from 25 to 175, with higher scores as indicating greater resilience
