About this trial

Caregivers play a key role in the provision of day-to-day care and the coordination of care services. Caregivers of stroke patients use dysfunctional coping strategies to cope with the stressors and burden of care they encounter during this long caregiving process. In this study, it will be tried to improve the stress coping skills of caregivers by using an application with chatbot support based on the COM-B model.In the study, introductory information form, stress coping styles scale, depression, anxiety, stress (DASS 21) and burden of care measurement tool will be used. The study will be conducted in a randomized controlled manner. Chatbot will be applied to the experimental group and the control group will be exposed to routine practice. The study group will consist of individuals who care for those who are discharged home from Atatürk University stroke center. Experiments and controls will be accessed by searching the hospital records. The fact that nursing education is given through a chatbot and that the chatbot is designed according to a stress training model (behavior change wheel) reflects the originality of the study. With this study, caregivers are expected to be able to manage stress effectively by teaching them how to cope with stress.
