- Abstract
Aims Improving the health behaviour can help prevent stroke recurrence. The existing health education interventions require more human resource. There is a lack of constructing a low-cost, highly universal, and easy-to-use stroke secondary prevention platform based on the existing medical resources. Methods and results This was a randomized controlled trial to test the effects of a digital learning platform on the health knowledge, beliefs, and behaviours of stroke patients from baseline to 6 months after discharge. The control group received routine health education while the intervention group received health belief education during hospitalization and used a digital learning platform for 6 months after discharge. The health knowledge was assessed by The Stroke Health Knowledge Questionnaire, health beliefs by The Short Form Health Belief Model Scale for Stroke Patients, and health behaviours by the Stroke Health Behavior Scale. A total of 90 patients were included: 45 each in the intervention group and the control group, of whom 38 and 37 completed the study, respectively. At 6 months after discharge, (1) the health knowledge score of the intervention group was insignificantly higher than that of the control group, (2) the health belief score of the intervention group was significantly higher than that of the control group, and (3) the intervention group had higher health behaviour scores especially in physical activity than that of the control group. Other health behaviour dimensions have time effect, but not significant. Conclusions The digital learning platform can improve health behaviours of stroke patients 6 months after discharge, especially in physical activity. Registration ChiCTR1800019936
