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 affecting online health information- seeking behavior in young and middle-aged patients with stroke

Simple. They're trying to find 100% recovery information which their stroke medical 'professionals' know nothing about!

Abstract


This study aimed to explore the characteristics of online health information-seeking
behavior and the influencing factors among young and middle-aged Chinese patients
with stroke. The participants of this study were 230 young and middle-aged patients
with stroke enrolled from a Class III Grade A hospital in Shandong Province, China,
using convenience sampling from October 31, 2023, to May 15, 2024. Based on
relevant theories and literature reviews, a self-administered questionnaire was used
to analyze the influencing factors regarding six aspects: general demographic char-
acteristics, disease factors, psychological factors, environmental factors, information
factors, and information technology factors. Univariate, Correlation, and multivariate
analyses were conducted to explore the factors affecting online health information-
seeking behavior. The results showed that age, literacy level, stroke course, hos-
pitalizations, treatment methods, number of combined chronic diseases, perceived
usefulness, perceived ease of use, e-health literacy, self-efficacy, perceived benefit,
health anxiety, quality of information, social influence, perceived risk, and privacy
of information were all factors that influenced the online health information-seeking
behavior in young and middle-aged patients with stroke. Age, perceived risk, and
information privacy were negatively associated with online health information-seeking
behavior, whereas the other variables were positively correlated. This study provides
scientific insights into the intervention of online health information-seeking behavior
in young and middle-aged patients with stroke and contributes to the enhancement of
online health information literacy.
