The effects on nursing-related variables were compared between the two groups.</p></sec><sec id="sec3"><title>Results</title><p>Total scores representing the caring ability of caregivers in the intervention group increased significantly over time relative to baseline and were higher than those of the control group. Scores representing the care burden of caregivers in the intervention group decreased significantly over time and were lower than those of the control group.</p></sec><sec id="sec4"><title>Conclusion</title><p>The teach-back method combined with video education improves the nursing ability of family caregivers and can improve the self-care ability of stroke patients.</p></sec>
