Purpose: Rehabilitation motivation is very important for veterans who have had a stroke because they already have primary disabilities they suffered during their official duties. The purpose of this study was to identify factors associated with the rehabilitation motivation of hospitalized veterans after a stroke.
Methods: The research was a cross-sectional, descriptive design using questionnaires. The participants were 128 veterans hospitalized following a stroke in five veterans’ hospitals in five major cities in South Korea. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA and multiple regression with the SPSS 25.0 program.
Results: There were statistically significant differences in rehabilitation motivation according to monthly income and time since duagnosis. The rehabilitation motivation of these veterans showed significant positive correlations with self efficacy and social support, and a significant negative correlation with depression. Multiple regression analysis for rehabilitation motivation revealed that the significant predictors were self efficacy, family support, time since diagnosis and monthly income. These factors explained 35.6% of the variance.
Conclusion: The results indicate a need to enhance self efficacy and social support to improve the rehabilitation motivation of veterans. The findings also suggest that individual characteristics through time since diagnosis and monthly income should be considered for tailored interventions related to rehabilitation motivation. Furthermore, it is necessary to develop programs enhancing self efficacy and social support to improve the rehabilitation motivation for veterans who have had a stroke.
