Exploring the needs of stroke patients after discharge from rehabilitation centres in Saudi Arabian communities: An IPA qualitative exploratory study design.
There are about 29 strokes per 100,000 people, annually, in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA). These patients require long-term rehabilitation services to enhance recovery and independence in the community.

| description | There are about 29 strokes per 100,000 people, annually, in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA). These patients require long-term rehabilitation services to enhance recovery and independence in the community. Currently there are limited long-term rehabilitation services in KSA and research is needed to establish pathways for provision of community-based rehabilitation (CBR). To develop effective new CBR models, understanding the experiences and needs of stroke patients in KSA who have undergone poststroke care services is essential. This study aims to gain insight into stroke patients' needs after their discharge from rehabilitation centres in Saudi Arabia. An interpretive phenomenological analysis (IPA) study was undertaken using semi-structured interviews. Participants were eligible if they had a stroke, completed their in-hospital rehabilitation sessions and had been discharged within the past three years. Semi-structured interviews were conducted using interview guides. Transcripts were translated and analysed using interpretive phenomenological analysis. Twenty-four (15 males and 9 females) participants were recruited from two hospitals in KSA. The key findings suggested that patients experienced limited community rehabilitation services postdischarge unless they were financially able to pay for private therapy. Coping barriers including Medical, Psychological, Social, and Financial and facilitators including Faith, Recovery, Social support and leisure were identified. Participants suggested strategies to improve services within hospital and community for rehabilitation, needs of staff, access to services and ongoing care. Further work is required to develop, implement and evaluate a community rehabilitation intervention that includes education, and self-management elements to support stroke survivors in the community in KSA. |
