Abstract | Background: Self-care is essential for stroke survivors to recover from neurological disorders caused by stroke and to prevent recurrences. Self-care behaviors are activities that individuals undertake to prevent recurrence and complications, and have a positive effect on the quality of life of patients. Telehealth is an emerging technology through which self-care intervention can be provided from a distance.

The research year of searched publications was not limited, and five electronic databases (PubMed, Ovid-MEDLINE, Ovid-EMBASE, CINAHL and Cochrane Library) were searched. Results: Four attributes were identified that represented telehealth's functions that appeared to be associated with a self-care intervention for stroke survivors.
