Objective • To investigate the impact of an Internet + WeChat platform-based “trinity” remote rehabilitation model involving the hospital, community, and family on stroke patient rehabilitation nursing. Methods • 159 patients with stroke who were discharged from Beijing Luhe Hospital of Capital Medical University from January 1, 2018, to December 31, 2019, were selected and divided into a control group (79 cases) and an experimental group (80 cases) by the random drawing method. The control group was given routine nursing, and the experimental group was given remote rehabilitation nursing intervention by using the WeChat network platform based on the control group. Limb function [Fugl-Meyer Assessment Scale (FMA)] and activities of daily living [Modified Barthel Index (MBI)] were evaluated at enrollment and at the end of 3 months, 6 months and 12 months in both groups. The compliance and satisfaction surveys in the two groups were evaluated after 6 months and 12 months of intervention. Results • (1) Before the intervention, there was no statistical significance in FMA score between the two groups (t = 0.798, P > .05). After 3 months, 6 months and 12 months of intervention, the FMA score in the two groups was increased compared with that before intervention (t = 2.463, P < .05), and the FMA scores in the experimental group at the above time points were higher than those in the control group (ts = 7.057, 14.285, Ps < .05). (2) There was no statistical difference in MBI scores between the two groups before intervention (t = 0.798, P > .05). After 3 months, 6 months, and 12 months of intervention, the MBI score in the two groups was increased compared with that before intervention (t = 0.232, P < .05), and MBI scores in the experimental group at the above time points were higher compared to the control group (ts = 4.959, 8.842, 8.131, Ps < .05). (3) The compliance scores in the experimental group were higher than those in the control group after 6 months and 12 months of intervention (ts = 4.959, 8.842, 8.131, Ps < .05). (4) The satisfaction survey scores in the experimental group after 6 months and 12 months of intervention were higher than those in the control group (ts = 2.120 ~ 14.554, Ps < .05). Conclusion • The Hospital-community-family “trinity” stroke rehabilitation model on the WeChat network platform holds significant importance. Enhancing limb function and daily living for stroke patients improves their quality of life and lessens reliance on caregivers. This positively impacts both survivors’ well-being and healthcare resources. Increased patient satisfaction and compliance suggest a potential revolution in post-stroke care, favoring a more patient-centered approach. Overall, this model has transformative potential for stroke treatment, offering holistic and patient-focused strategies. Its success promises better rehabilitation outcomes, patient satisfaction, and cost reduction, while paving the way for innovative research in stroke treatment and rehabilitation.
