Inspiring Hope: Integrating the Caritas Processes into Stroke Patient & Family Education
Intent to Contribute Statement:
Overview of a new stroke education curriculum that incorporates Caring Science and the 10 Caritas Processes.
Stroke education is required by The Joint Commission and The Commission on Accreditation for Rehabilitation
Facilities (CARF) for patients at Kaiser Foundation Rehabilitation Center. An opening for a new way of teaching
was created and a staff nurse, former patient/stroke survivor and director collaborated to develop a new
curriculum. The goal of the curriculum was to teach content but also to incorporate the 10 caritas processes.
The nursing staff identified that it was important to incorporate patient input and key lessons from the
rehabilitation team. Firstly, nursing staff identified that many patients and families were asking similar questions
about stroke. Secondly, the patients and families were struggling with similar challenges in finding the motivation
to work hard. Thirdly, the patients that had seen the hope inspiring video, What Now? Sharing Brain Recovery
Lessons by Alison Shapiro seemed to improve faster and demonstrated better adjustment to the challenge of
recovering from a stroke. Fourthly, it was identified that the prior stroke education class provided patients good
information on stroke but did not meet the emotional or spiritual needs of the patients.

… ContinuedIt was desired for the new program to inspire patients to be more positive and motivated about their recovery
and reduce resistance to recovery. For example, when asked to eat breakfast in the chair or encouraged to be
taken to the bathroom for bladder training they would refuse. The patients would then be at risk for stroke
complications such as pneumonia, incontinence or urinary tract infections. Patients would be stuck in thinking,
“Why me?”, “Why did I have this stroke and why can’t I move one side of my body”. Patients appear to struggle
with the loss of their previously held life dreams.
The new stroke class was developed to address the question in the room that everyone was wondering…. What is my life going to be like?
Can I do what I love again?
Can life be full again and what are the possibilities?
How much will I recover?
The stroke class emphasizes that the tool to success lies within the individual. The facilitator discusses the
frustration and fear that comes with the uncertainty, timeliness and degree of recovery.

… ContinuedThe facilitator emphasizes that most recovery takes place over time and to focus on learning as much from the
Rehabilitation team as a phase in the ongoing journey of stroke rehabilitation recovery. The facilitator inquires
about what patients love in life, what brings them joy, and how to begin to find meaning and purpose again. By
addressing these issues, we are providing a caring environment. The class recognizes and offers ways to ease
pain and suffering from a stroke. It is authentic care that incorporates what is important to the individual patient
while nurturing their growth and recovery. Information is provided in a caring healing environment that allows
the presenter to connect to individuals and empower them to recover from a debilitating stroke.
