Deans' stroke musings: Factors Influencing Rehabilitation Motivation of Veterans after a Stroke

Changing stroke rehab and research worldwide now.Time is Brain! trillions and trillions of neurons that DIE each day because there are NO effective hyperacute therapies besides tPA(only 12% effective). I have 523 posts on hyperacute therapy, enough for researchers to spend decades proving them out. These are my personal ideas and blog on stroke rehabilitation and stroke research. Do not attempt any of these without checking with your medical provider. Unless you join me in agitating, when you need these therapies they won't be there.

What this blog is for:

My blog is not to help survivors recover, it is to have the 10 million yearly stroke survivors light fires underneath their doctors, stroke hospitals and stroke researchers to get stroke solved. 100% recovery. The stroke medical world is completely failing at that goal, they don't even have it as a goal. Shortly after getting out of the hospital and getting NO information on the process or protocols of stroke rehabilitation and recovery I started searching on the internet and found that no other survivor received useful information. This is an attempt to cover all stroke rehabilitation information that should be readily available to survivors so they can talk with informed knowledge to their medical staff. It lays out what needs to be done to get stroke survivors closer to 100% recovery. It's quite disgusting that this information is not available from every stroke association and doctors group.

Factors Influencing Rehabilitation Motivation of Veterans after a Stroke

Wrong, wrong, wrong! You need to motivate the doctors, therapists and stroke hospitals to create EXACT REHAB PROTOCOLS. If a protocol said do this 2 million times and you will get this result. The survivor would be motivated to do 2 million reps. It is not patient motivation needing to be solved, it is your fucking clueless stroke leaders that need to be motivated to solve stroke.

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.
