Abstract

The present study aims to identify the knowledge of CVA (Cerebral Vascular Accident) patients' close relatives on the disease and its specific cares; and also, to elaborate a guide for the home care of those patients. The present research evaluated family members from 50 CVA patients. These relatives were taking care of the patients for at least 3 days. The data obtained from the testimonies analysis are grouped in three categories: acquainting the families; identifying the family’s knowledge; assisting family’s requests. The guide, organized according to the relatives' main doubts and difficulties, intends to help the educational process of those families in the hospital’s atmosphere, promoting their engagement in the process. This work makes possible a larger understanding of the problems faced by CVA patients and their families, aiding the nurse to develop actions in order to minimize them and to make the situation less traumatic for both.
