Keywords:
Stroke, Intermediate care, Outcomes of rehabilitationAbstract
This study was a retrospective aims to assess outcomes of stroke rehabilitation and factors associated with functional gain in intermediate care of home-based rehabilitation in stroke patients from September 1, 2022 to August 31, 2023, a sample of 40 patients were selected according to the inclusion criteria. The research tool is an assessment of Barthel index. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Paired t-test and Fisher’s exact test. The study results revealed as follows:
1. There was significant functional gain (p<.01) after home-based rehabilitation compared to before, with mean functional gain was 7.25±4.8 and mean rehabilitation effectiveness was 69.66±36.29%.
2.There were 7 factors that associated with functional gain significantly; body mass index (p<.05) motor power of upper extremity after rehabilitation (p<.01) motor power of lower extremity after rehabilitation (p<.01) complications from stroke events(p<.01) pneumonia (p<.05).bedsore (p<.01) and joint stiffness (p<.05).
Therefore, home visiting teams should improve rehabilitation services, such as promoting adequate nutrition, strengthening exercise and providing knowledge to prevent complications to increase the ability to do activities of daily living of patients.
