Abstract

BACKGROUND Researchers who have examined the impact of stroke, regardless of mobility status, demonstrate that cognitive, communication and physical weakness, combined with the changing environment, often cause changes in daily routines, roles, and occupations. The objective of the study was to develop a tool to assess the environment and the implementation of activities of daily living by people who have had a stroke and have been discharged to their homes and to advise them on how to adapt to their new situation. METHOD Study for the development of a tool for assessment and intervention. To develop the home therapeutic advice in people who suffer stroke tool (HTAS tool), a literature review was performed through the electronic database PubMed and different practice guides for stroke recovery. Subsequently, a panel of 26 multidisciplinary evaluators assesses the tool. RESULTS A cut-off of 6.5 points for elimination of the items was established, with the result that 14 items were deleted. At the end of this phase, the HTAS tool was completed with 60 selected items. CONCLUSION The HTAS tool will make it possible to assess the environment and the implementation of activities of daily living through its items, locating the problems and providing advice needed for the people who have suffered a stroke and have been discharged to their homes.
