Abstract
Background: Cognitive impairments in patients with stroke survivors occurs frequently. The prevalence of cognitive impairment in patients with stroke cases that varies, which the difference between the countries. Objective: To study the prevalence of cognitive impairment in patients with stroke and factors that correlate with cognitive impairment in patients with stroke. Methods: This study is a secondary data analysis from the research project “mental health literacy and mental health disorders among patients with stroke”. This study was comprised a cross-sectional descriptive study. One hundred and eighty Thai patients with stroke in Sanpasithiprasong Hospital, Ubon Ratchathani Province were included in this study. The subjects were asked to complete the Thai metal state examination (TMSE). Logistic Regression Analysis was used to identify associated factors, show the result as an adjusted odds ratio and 95% confidence interval. Result: The prevalence of cognitive impairment in patients with stroke was 17.22%. The factors that statistically significantly (p < 0.05) associated with cognitive impairment in patients with stroke were patients who had age ≥ 60 years old (AOR=3.180, 95%CI 1.304-7.753). Conclusion: These findings showed cognitive impairment in patients with strokes was 17.22%. The factors that associated with cognitive impairment in patients with stroke were patients who had age ≥ 60 years old. Awareness and development guidelines to care management in cognitive impairment in post-stroke patients should be considered for health care professions.
