Family Cues to Action in Caring for Stroke Patients at Home

Abstract

Background: Stroke is a leading cause of long-term disability, often requiring family members to become the primary caregivers at home. However, many families struggle to provide consistent and effective care. The Health Belief Model (HBM), specifically the Cues to Action construct, offers a framework for understanding how families are motivated to adopt more effective caregiving behaviors. This study aimed to determine whether a meaningful linear relationship existed between the predictor variable, cues to Action, and the behavioral response variables for families caring for stroke patients at home.
