Abstract: Objective To observe the influence of telephone follow-up and home follow-up on compliance behavior and activities of daily living (ADL) of stroke patients during rehabilitation. Methods 50 cases were as telephone follow-up group and 50 cases were as home follow-up group extracted from 355 stroke patients who discharged the hospital during August 1, 2010 to July 1, 2012. They were followed up 2 weeks, 1 month and 3 months after discharge respectively. Their ADL were assessed with Bathel index (BI) at discharge and 3 months after discharge, and the compliance behavior were assessed 3 months after discharge. Results There was no significant difference in the score of BI between 2 groups at discharge (P>0.05), and the score of BI improved in both groups 3 months after discharge (P<0.05), but it was higher in the home follow-up group than in the telephone follow-up group (P<0.05), as well as the rate of compliance behavior (P<0.01). Conclusion Regular home follow-up can improve the compliance behavior of stroke patients during rehabilitation.
