ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE:
Ischemic stroke is a severe disorder with high rates of death and recurrence that causes disability in patients and for which there is currently no effective treatment. Internet-based rehabilitation helps patients with disability recover at home with the help of their household or family members in a nonclinical setting. However, the effects of the internet+continuing nursing (ICN) program on the recovery of patients after ischemic stroke remains unknown.METHODS:
In the present study, patients were treated with an ICN-based rehabilitation training program; subsequently, the Self-efficacy Scale for Chronic Disease, Questionnaire of Exercise Adherence, Motor Assessment Scale, Activities of Daily Living, and Stroke-specific Quality of Life were performed to evaluate the effects of the ICN program on patient self-confidence to persist with rehabilitation, functional exercise compliance, motor function, ability to live independently and quality of life following ischemic stroke.RESULTS:
We observed that, after the ICN intervention for 6 weeks and 3 months, the scores of Self-efficacy Scale for Chronic Disease, Questionnaire of Exercise Adherence, Motor Assessment Scale, Activities of Daily Living, and Stroke-specific Quality of Life in the ICN-treated group were significantly higher compared with those in the control group.CONCLUSION:
These results suggested that the ICN program may promote the recovery of patients after ischemic stroke.
