Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the factors affecting social alienation among elderly stroke patients, so as to provide the reference for the prevention of social alienation among elderly patients with chronic disease.
Methods:The stroke patients aged ≥60 years who visited Hangzhou Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine from January to June 2024 were selected as subjects. Demographic information and disease status were collected through questionnaire surveys. Social alienation, stigma and social support were assessed using the General Alienation Scale, Stroke-Specific Stigma Scale and Perceived Social Support Scale, respectively. Factors affecting social alienation among elderly stroke patients were analyzed by using a multiple linear regression model.
Results:Totally 283 elderly stroke patients were surveyed, including 165 males (58.30%) and 118 females (41.70%). The mean age was (69.55±8.72) years. The mean scores for social alienation, stigma and social support was (41.72±6.10), (43.70±8.96) and (59.86±10.22) points, respectively. Multiple linear regression analysis identified educational level (high school/technical secondary school, β' =-0.157; college degree or above, β' =-0.322), household monthly income per capita (≥3 000 yuan, β' =-0.260), number of stroke occurrences (recurrent stroke, β' =0.181), number of comorbid chronic diseases (≥2, β' =0.165), self-care ability (partially self-care, β' =0.142; unable to self-care, β' =0.308), stigma (β' =0.277) and social support (β' =-0.253) as factors affecting social alienation among elderly stroke patients.
Conclusion:Social alienation among elderly stroke patients is associated with educational level, household monthly income per capita, number of stroke occurrences, number of comorbid chronic diseases, self-care ability, stigma and social support.
