Abstract: Objective To analyze the influence of care ability of family caregivers on the readmission of stroke patients.Methods A total of 139 stroke patients and their family caregivers were followed up for 90 d.The information of patients diseases were collected by general questionnaire,and Chinese version of family care ability scale nameed family care test inventory,(FCTI) was used to evaluate the caregivers'ability,and the number of rehospitalization at 30,90 d after discharge was investigated.Results Out of 139 patients with stroke,there were 12 (8.63％) rehospitalized patients at 30 d after discharge,and 22 (15.83％) at 90 d.The scores of family caregivers'care ability in patients who had rehospitalization at 30,90 d were higher than that of non rehospitalized patients (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Chinese version of family care ability scale (FCTI) investigation shows that the higher of caregivers ability scores is,the lower care ability is.So stroke patients at 30,90 d in patients with stroke are more inclined to readmission.
