This study was made on 274 apoplectics patients who received the rehabilitation therapy and tests on physical, psychological and social adaptations as outpatients in 23 general hospitals in the Seoul and Kyungi area. The basic data on degree of
improvement of apoplectic patients studied from rehabilitation therapy.
Data was collected over a period of 63 days, from February 21st till April, 23, 1996. The assigned physical therapist conducted direct interviews with patients after he answered the distributed questionnaires for each individual patient.
The colleted data was processed by the SPCC/C+ method.
The results of the tests conducted to meascne the degree of ADL dependency, depression and social activity corresponding to the physical, psychological, and social adaptation.
@ES The details are:
@EN 1) The test to meascne the degree of ADL dependency, corresponding to the study of physical adaptation of CVA patient, indicated a mean score of 2.57(ideal score is 1.0) with a standard deviation of ±0.75 the worst score was 3.95 while the
best
score was a perfect 1.0, representing a severe range of dependency. The distribution was centered with median of 2.65 and a mode of 2.68.
2) The test to meascne the degree of depression which corresponds to the level of psychological adaptation yielded a mean of 2.99 which is higher than the normal limit of 2.45. The standard deviation was ±0.52 and the worst score and the best
score
were 4.35 and Respectirdy. The distribution was centered with a median of 3.00 and a mode of 3.00.
3) The test to meascne the degree of social activities for the level of social adaptation indicated a very low mean score of 26.52(perfect score is 144), with the standard deviation of ±16.23, Some patients scored as high as 100, but others
scored as
low as 3. The distribution of social activities at a very low level was shifted to the left with a median of 24.00 and a mode of 20.00.
4) Factors influencing the level of physical, psychological and social adaptation are as follows:
Factors significantly influencing the level of physical adaptation measured by ADL dependency are age, personal guardian, payer of medical expenses, and paralysis of the right arm, right leg and facial paralysis.
Factors significant influencing the level of psychological adaptation measured by the degree of depression, are age, marital status, education, medical history of individual and family, speech impediment, and facial paralysis.
Factors significantly influencing the level of social adaptation measured by the degree of social activity are age, martial status, education, employment status, and the burden of medical expense.
5. The Corelationship is significant(9.00), between ADL dependeing as degree of physical adaptation and depreseion as degree of psychological adaptation. ADL dependency is proportional to depression, But social activity is inversely protional to
ADL
dependency and depression.
In conclusion, the increased care for physical function of the patients is not the only necessary means to better facilitate the appropriate adaptation of CVA patients. The introduction of a solid rehabilitation program for psychological and
social
adaptation will also play the integral part of the treatment of CVA patients.
