Tool 1 structured interview questionnaires. Tool II: Caregivers’ knowledge about stroke. Tool III: Caregivers' practices regarding stroke patients' care. Tool IV: Stroke Self-Efficacy Questionnaire (SSEQ). Results: 95.2% of caregiver's have unsatisfactory knowledge about stroke in pre-program, compared to 84.8% and 76.0% have satisfactory knowledge at post program and follow up; respectively. Also, caregiver practices levels of patient's care were 100% inadequate in pre-program. These levels improved to adequate practice in post program and follow up (72.0% & 75.2%); respectively.
