Study on the Effect of Distance Teaching Combined with the IMB on the Self-Management Ability of Community Stroke Patients

The study aims to investigate the impact of distance teaching combined with the IMB model on the self-management ability of stroke patients in the community. The method applied in this paper is that a total of 86 stroke patients from Yinghua Community and Dongjiao Community in Shijiazhuang City were randomly assigned to two groups. The control group consisted of 43 patients from Dongjiao Community who received routine community health education and telephone follow-up. The experimental group included 43 patients from Yinghua Community who received a distance teaching intervention using the information-motivation-behavior skills model in addition to the routine care. The self-management ability of the patients was assessed before the intervention, 1 month after the intervention, and 3 months after the intervention. The results of this paper are the implementation of the distance teaching intervention model based on the information-motivation-behavior skills model significantly improved the self-management ability of stroke patients in the community.
