According to the World Health Organization, stroke is a clinical condition characterized by the sudden development of focal or global signs and symptoms in cerebral functions and is the second leading cause of death and the third leading cause of disability worldwide.
This study aimed to determine the levels of illness acceptance, health perception, and hopelessness of stroke survivors and to examine the relationship between these variables.
This study was conducted with 170 stroke survivors. Data were collected with the "Descriptive Information Form," "Modified Barthel Index," "Acceptance of Illness Scale," "Perception of Health Scale," and "Beck Hopelessness Scale." The data were analyzed using SPSS 21.0 software.
Participants showed moderate levels of illness acceptance and mild levels of hopelessness. The mean health perception score was 50.30±0.59. A significant relationship was found between age, education, employment status, living arrangements, illness duration, post-stroke deficits, independence level, illness acceptance, health perception, and hopelessness levels. The health perception and hopelessness levels of the participants decreased as their level of illness acceptance increased. Increasing health perception levels were also found to increase hopelessness levels.
When the literature is reviewed, there are studies that support our findings in stroke and other chronic illnesses, but there are also studies with different results.
The study results draw attention to the levels of illness acceptance, health perception, and hope, which have not been discussed much but have important effects on the illness and rehabilitation process.
根据世界卫生组织的定义，中风是一种临床病症，其特征是脑功能突然出现局灶性或全身性的体征和症状，它是全球范围内第二大致死原因和第三大致残原因。
本研究旨在确定中风幸存者的疾病接受程度、健康认知水平和绝望程度，并检验这些变量之间的关系。
本研究对170名中风幸存者进行。使用“描述性信息表”、“改良巴氏指数”、“疾病接受量表”、“健康认知量表”和“贝克绝望量表”收集数据。使用SPSS 21.0软件对数据进行分析。
参与者表现出中等程度的疾病接受水平和轻度的绝望程度。健康认知平均得分是50.30±0.59。在年龄、教育程度、就业状况、生活安排、病程、中风后缺陷、独立水平、疾病接受程度、健康认知水平和绝望程度之间发现了显著关系。随着疾病接受程度的提高，参与者的健康认知水平和绝望程度降低。健康认知水平的提高也被发现会增加绝望程度。
回顾文献时，有研究支持我们在中风和其他慢性病方面的研究结果，但也有研究结果不同的情况。
研究结果提请人们关注疾病接受程度、健康认知水平和希望程度，这些方面虽未被广泛讨论，但对疾病和康复过程有重要影响。
