Abstract:
Objective To find out the relationship between family function and quality of life for elderly stroke patients, and offer the reference for establishing the home nursing plan after discharge. Methods Through questionnaire of family care index and the Nottingham Health Profile, we investigated the family function and survival quality for 79 cases of elderly stroke patients. The data were analyzed and evaluated using the statistics methods. Results The survival quality was related to five family functions, which included adaptability (1.62±0.56), intimacy (1.47±0.71), emotion (1.41±0. 65), development (1.34±0.80) and cooperation (1.29±0.69) from higher score to lower score (P < 0. 05 or P < 0. 01). Conclusions The survival quality of elderly stroke patients is related to the family function. Therefore family function assessment and improvement should be emphasized in making home nursing plan after discharge.
