Study summary

This study will include individuals aged 18-80 years who have been clinically diagnosed with stroke and have spent at least one month at home after discharge. Sociodemographic and clinical characteristics will be recorded. Functional status will be assessed using the Modified Rankin Scale, Brunnstrom Stages, and the Modified Barthel Index. Ambulation status will be documented with the Holden Scale.

The scale will first be translated into Turkish and then back-translated into English by a bilingual expert whose native language is English. The Turkish version of the scale will be administered to patients. Two independent evaluators will apply the scale twice, one week apart.

Validity will be examined by analyzing the relationship between the scale and the Stroke Impact Scale and the Treatment Burden Questionnaire

Eligibility

Primary outcome measure(s)

• PETS-Stroke scale — Baseline
  The primary measure, the PETS-Stroke scale, evaluates patients' experiences with treatment and self-management; its scoring system is based on subscale scores typically transformed to 0-100, with higher values reflecting greater perceived burden or difficulty in treatment and self-management.
