Abstract
Aim: To integrate experiences and perceptions about stroke survivors during the transition from hospital-to-home care.
Data sources: Seven databases, including PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, Ovid, Web of Science, EBSCO and MEDLINE, were searched comprehensively from inception to March 2024, including qualitative studies published in English.
Design: A qualitative systematic review.
Methods: The search followed the Preferred Reporting Items report for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analysis (PRISMA 2020). The included research quality was assessed according to the Critical Appraisal Skills Programme (CASP). Meta-aggregation was used to develop analytical themes. Confidence in the Evidence from the Reviews of Qualitative Research (GRADE-CERQual) framework was applied to the findings.
Results: Fifteen qualitative studies were included, from which 54 findings were extracted. Similar findings were summarised into eight categories, resulting in four synthesised findings: Joy and sadness intertwined, Destruction of sense of self and life, External support and internal motivation, and Emotional longings and practical needs.
Conclusion: Stroke can lead to devastating changes in survivors' sense of self and physically. Through external support from family members and healthcare professionals, as well as internal motivation to cope positively, stroke survivors positively accept and adapt to life. Meanwhile they still have high expectations for personal independence and reintegration into society.
Impact: The review findings can guide health professionals, survivors and families in optimising care during the hospital-to-home transition.
Protocol registration: PROSPERO [CRD42024522555].

期刊介绍:
The Journal of Clinical Nursing (JCN) is an international, peer reviewed, scientific journal that seeks to promote the development and exchange of knowledge that is directly relevant to all spheres of nursing practice. The primary aim is to promote a high standard of clinically related scholarship which advances and supports the practice and discipline of nursing. The Journal also aims to promote the international exchange of ideas and experience that draws from the different cultures in which practice takes place. Further, JCN seeks to enrich insight into clinical need and the implications for nursing intervention and models of service delivery. Emphasis is placed on promoting critical debate on the art and science of nursing practice.
JCN is essential reading for anyone involved in nursing practice, whether clinicians, researchers, educators, managers, policy makers, or students. The development of clinical practice and the changing patterns of inter-professional working are also central to JCN''s scope of interest. Contributions are welcomed from other health professionals on issues that have a direct impact on nursing practice.
We publish high quality papers from across the methodological spectrum that make an important and novel contribution to the field of clinical nursing (regardless of where care is provided), and which demonstrate clinical application and international relevance.
