Abstract:
Objective To explore the continuous care needs of stroke patients when discharge,and analyze the related influenced factors.Methods One hundred and twenty cases with first stroke attack were selected,and their continuous care needs were investigated by methods of filling in questionnaires when discharged.The National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale and Barthel Index were applied to assess the severity of acute stroke and their ability of daily life when cases were admitted and discharged,respectively.We investigated the continuous care needs of stroke patients,and analyzed the relationship of that with the severity of acute stroke and their ability of daily life.Results The top five continuous care needs were knowledge of stroke,safety administration,methods of rehabilitation,self control and monitoring blood pressure,and diet direction.Those ratios of needs ranged from 87.25%to 94.12%.The score of continuous care needs had a positive relationship with that of NIHSS(r=0.271,<0.05),and had a negative relationship with that of BI both at the time of discharge(r=-0.226,<0.05).Conclusion The various continuous care needs are very common in patients with first stroke attack for varied reasons.More serious the neurological dysfunction and lower ability of daily life,higher the level of needs for continuous care.
