Aphasia, Stroke, Self-efficacy, Caregivers, Mobile applicationAbstract
Aphasia usually happens suddenly after a stroke, and affects a person's language ability, causing difficulty speaking, reading, writing, and understanding language. As a result, patients with dependent conditions need to be cared for after discharge from the hospital. This quasi-experimental research aimed to study the effects of a caregiver self-efficacy promoting program in rehabilitation combined with the use of a mobile application on the caregivers’ self-efficacy and the stroke patients’ aphasia. The samples included 66 stroke patients with aphasia and their caregivers, who were divided into an experimental group and a control group. The research instruments consisted of the following: 1) the caregiver self-efficacy promoting program based on Bandura's theory of self-efficacy; 2) a demographic questionnaire; 3) a self-efficacy scale for caregivers; and 4) an aphasia screening form. Data were analyzed by descriptive statistics and t-test.
The findings demonstrated that after the experiment, the experimental group had significantly higher mean perceived self-efficacy scores and aphasia scores than those of the control group (p < .05; p < .05) and before the experiment (p < .001; p < .001).
The results show that the caregiver self-efficacy promoting program may increase the confidence of caregivers and result in improved patient communication.
