Impact of the Training to Aid Patients With Stroke Program on Caregiver Knowledge, Burden, and Quality of Life

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the effect of the Training to Aid Patients with Stroke (TAP-S) Program on caregiver outcomes among informal caregivers of adult stroke patients during the early post-stroke period. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Does participation in the TAP-S Program improve caregiver knowledge regarding stroke management, rehabilitation, and home care? 2. Does participation in the TAP-S Program reduce caregiver burden and improve caregiver quality of life across multiple assessment phases? Participants will: 1. Attend a structured caregiver education and training program covering basic stroke care, rehabilitation principles, positioning, transfers, home exercises, prevention of complications, and caregiver self-care. 2. Complete outcome assessments at baseline (pre-intervention), immediately post-intervention, and two weeks post-discharge. 3. Answer questionnaires measuring caregiver knowledge, caregiver strain, and quality of life.
