Perceived participation and its determinants among young and middle-aged stroke survivors following acute care one month after discharge.

Conclusions The perceived participation of our respondents is relatively optimistic. Physical health along with mental and social status can affect participation. Tailored strategies should be implemented early in the rehabilitation phase to promote stoke survivors' participation in all the domains. Implications for rehabilitation Although the overall perceived participation of young and middle-aged stroke patients was fair to good, attention should be paid to their family roles. The strategies should be mainly focused on reducing the stroke severity to improve patients' participation. Improving patients' depressive symptom and social support can also be helpful for improving their participation. PMID: 31437066 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
