Within the scope of nursing interventions for caregivers;

• Oral or enteral nutrition application steps and the use of necessary materials will be explained,
• Oral or enteral drug administration, in-bed exercises, suctioning, simple ROM exercises, in-bed bathing, pressure sore care, position change, oral care, and whole body care will be taught,
• Videos regarding the use of all medical devices and materials to be taken home with the patient will be shown and demonstration methods will be used,
• Information about the storage conditions of drugs, side effects and nutrition will be explained, supported by powerpoint presentations,
• Motivational interviews will be held regarding communication with the stroke patient and the emotional state of the caregivers.

In the first phase of the research, the relatives of the patients who are in the hospital every day for a week during the routine and discharge process will be included in a training program. These trainings will be explained didactically to the caregiver at the bedside by the research supervisor and the intensive care nurse, the practices will be demonstrated with demonstrations, and the caregiver will be asked to apply them themselves. Then, the researchers will call the caregivers and make an appointment for an online meeting twice a week (7 weeks - 14 times). During these meetings, the training the caregivers need will be explained again and any questions they have will be answered. The researcher will also conduct motivational interviews with the caregivers.

It was developed by Zarit, Reever and Bach-Peterson in 1980. It is a scale used to evaluate the distress experienced by caregivers of individuals in need of care. The Turkish validity-reliability study of the scale was conducted by İnci and Erdem in 2008. It consists of 22 statements that determine the impact of caregiving on the individual's life. The scale has a Likert-type rating ranging from 1 to 5, such as never, rarely, sometimes, often or almost always. A high scale score indicates that the distress experienced is high. The scoring range is between 0-88, and if the scores obtained are between 0-24 points, "light load"; Between 25 and 33 points is defined as "moderate burden"; Between 34 and 88 points are considered as "severe burden". In the scale form adapted to Turkish, the internal consistency coefficient was found to be 0.95, and the test-retest invariance coefficient was 0.90.

Beck hopelessness scale was developed by Beck and Weissman (1974). The validity and reliability study of the scale in our country was conducted by Seber, Dilbaz, Kaptanoğlu and Tekin. Durak and Palabıyıkoğlu (1994) conducted a study to examine the validity and factor structure of the scale on a large sample, including physical and psychiatric patients. Beck hopelessness scale consists of 20 true-false situations. 11 of these are correct and 9 are incorrect. Each answer receives 0 or 1 point. The sum of the scores constitutes the despair score. A high score from the scale indicates a high level of hopelessness. Items 1, 6, 13, 15 and 19 describe feelings about the future; Items 2, 3, 9, 11, 12, 16, 17 and 20 describe loss of motivation; Articles 4, 7, 8, 14 and 18 express expectations about the future. Seber et al. (1993), in their hopelessness scale validity and reliability study, determined the Cronbach's alpha coefficient for the entire scale as 0.86.

It is a scale developed by Joseph, Becker, Elwick and Silburn (2012) and its validity and reliability in Turkish was confirmed by Gençer (2020). The scale provides the opportunity to evaluate caregiver quality of life in 8 different areas (caregiving, caregiving preference, patient care stress, financial issues, personal development, appreciation, ability to provide care, and caregiver satisfaction). Each sub-dimension of the scale consists of 5 items. Within forty questions, scoring is applied according to the answers as "Always = 3", "Most of the time = 2", "Sometimes = 1" and "Never = 0", while "6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13" , 14, 15, 16, 19, 37, 38" questions are coded in reverse (3-2-1-0) and scored. Total score varies between 0-120. 0-40 points indicate "low quality of life", 41-80 points indicate "average quality of life" and 81-120 points indicate "high quality of life". The Adult Caregiver Quality of Life Survey Cronbach's Alpha value was determined as 0.945.
