Abstract:
Objective To explore the influence of self-efficacy training on the memory and executive function of patients with ischemic stroke in the recovery stage.Methods A total of 80 cases were randomly divided into a self-efficacy training group and a control group,with 40 cases in each.The control group was given routine cognitive therapy,while the self-efficacy group was given cognitive interventions plus efficacy training.Before training and after training for 3 months,self-efficacy levels were examined using the general self-efficacy scale (GSES),memory and executive function were measured using the Behavioral Assessment of Dysexecutive Syndrome (BADS) and the Wechsler Memory Scale (WMS).Anxiety and depression were evaluated using the Self-rating Depression Scale (SDS) and Self-Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS).Results Inter-group comparison showed no significant differences in terms of GSES or BADS scores before treatment between the control and self-efficacy groups.After training,the total GSES and BADS scores in both groups were significantly higher than before.Both the average GSES and BADS scores in the self-efficacy group were significantly higher than in the control group.There were similarly no significant differences in WMS scores before treatment,but after training the WMS results were significantly better in the self-efficacy training group than in the control group.After training,the SDS and SAS scores had improved to a significantly greater extent in the self-efficacy group than in the control group.Conclusion Self-efficacy training can facilitate the recovery of memory and promote executive function in patients with ischemic stroke.
