| Objective: To investigate the rehabilitation needs of elderly stroke patients and analyze the related factors influencing their rehabilitation needs. Methods: A total of 100 elderly stroke patients were selected from our hospital from January 2015 to December 2017. A questionnaire survey was conducted to investigate their needs on health education, exercise training, swallowing training, acupuncture and massage, rehabilitation support, psychological intervention, daily living ability training. They were further divided into the demand group and no demand group according to the investigation. Multivariate Logistic regression was used to analyze the related factors. Results: The score of health education, sports training, swallowing training, acupuncture and massage, rehabilitation, psychological intervention, daily living ability training was (3.07±0.58), (3.25±0.67), (3.12±0.61), (2.98±0.54), (2.76±0.51), (2.93±0.56) and (3.02±0.59), respectively. Logistic regression analysis showed that age, cultural level, family income, course of disease and neural function defect scale, daily life ability score, and degree of disability were related to their rehabilitation needs (P<0.05). Conclusion: Elderly patients with stroke have different rehabilitation needs. Age, education, family income, course of disease, neurological impairment score, daily living ability score, and disability degree affect the rehabilitation needs. |
