Patient-centered goal setting in very early supported discharge with continued rehabilitation after stroke

CONCLUSIONS: Patients with mild to moderate stroke, undergoing a VESD after stroke, reported high performance level for their set goals and were satisfied with their performance execution. Further research is needed to investigate whether the goal should be set preferably at home or at hospital before discharge.Implications for rehabilitationMany of the patients can formulate achievable goals with their rehabilitation after stroke.Patients ongoing rehabilitation after stroke are satisfied with their performance of the set goals.As part of patient-centered care, stroke patients should be given the opportunity to formulate their own goals with their rehabilitation.Short hospital times and fast planning of goal-meetings, seems to influence patient goal setting in early discharge rehabilitation.PMID:36346073 | DOI:10.1080/09638288.2022.2141357
