Abstract:
Objective To explore the self-management behavior of stroke patients, understanding the self-management process and their subjective experience by interview, so as to provide evidence and enlightenment for clinical nursing and the improvement of stroke patients' self-management. Methods The data was based on in-depth interviews with 12 stroke patients through semi-structured interview. The content analysis method was used to analyze and summarize the data. Results Based on the data analysis, 4 themes were extracted: medical behavior management, daily life management, mood management, family and social function management. Conclusions Stroke patients can take appropriate self-management behavior on the basis of their experience and knowledge. However, the role of medical staff in the self-management of stroke patients should be further strengthened. It is suggested that the medical staff should provide information support for patients. Meanwhile the social support system should be encouraged to participate in the self-management of stroke patients so as to enhance stroke patients' self-management level.
