Abstract:
Objective:To understand the latent categories of apathy in young and middle-aged patients with hemorrhagic stroke and analyze the relationship between these categories and disability acceptance, providing a theoretical basis for targeted interventions.Methods:A convenience sampling method was used to select young and middle-aged patients with hemorrhagic stroke hospitalized at Huai′an First Hospital Affiliated to Nanjing Medical University between September 2020 and September 2023. A general information questionnaire, the Apathy Evaluation Scale-Clinician Administered, and the Acceptance of Disability Scale Revised were used for a cross-sectional survey. Latent profile analysis was conducted using Mplus 8.7 software to categorize apathy in these patients, and differences in disability acceptance among the categories were compared.Results:A total of 210 questionnaires were distributed and 203 valid questionnaires were collected. Among 203 patients were included, with 112 males and 91 females, aged 30-59 (47.60 ± 8.51) years old. The apathy score was (46.66 ± 8.78) points, and three latent categories were identified: "high active ability-low apathy" (26.1%, 53/203), "high social ability-moderate apathy" (28.6%, 58/203), and "generally high apathy" (45.3%, 92/203). The total disability acceptance scores for the three categories were (78.19 ± 13.30), (69.50 ± 11.01), and (60.86 ± 14.00) points, respectively, with statistically significant differences ( F=30.39, P<0.01). Conclusions:Apathy in young and middle-aged patients with hemorrhagic stroke can be categorized into three latent profiles, with differences in disability acceptance among the categories. Targeted management and interventions should be developed based on these homogeneous groups to improve disability acceptance.
