title: An open evening for stroke patients and relatives.
abstract: A cerebral vascular accident (CVA) can cause fear and anxiety about the future for both sufferer and carers. Returning to the community after having been in the security of a hospital ward for many weeks can be traumatic. Nurses should enhance their health education programmes to prepare stroke patients and relatives for life at home.
