- Abstract: PURPOSE: This study compared the importance and performance of rehabilitation nursing needs perceived by stroke patients and nurses. METHODS: A total of 275 subjects were divided into two groups. One group was 136 stroke patients and the other was 139 nurses. Data were collected with the Rehabilitation Nursing Service Inventory. The data were analyzed by t-test and ANOVA using the SPSS/WIN 21.0 program. RESULTS: The degree of importance and performance in rehabilitation nursing needs perceived by the stroke patients were 3.69±0.47 and 3.48±0.50, respectively, showing a significant difference (t=21.04, p<.001). The degree of importance and performance perceived by nurses were 3.84±0.42 and 3.60±0.45, respectively, showing a significant difference (t=26.53, p<.001). A significant difference in the degree of importance and performance in rehabilitation nursing needs was also observed between stroke patients and nurses (t=-2.78, p=.006; t=-2.12, p=.035). CONCLUSION: These findings showed that there was a perception gap between stroke patients and nurses. Therefore, it will necessary to identify methods for reducing this perception gap and developing rehabilitation nursing intervention considering the rehabilitation nursing needs of stroke patients.
