本研究目的主要探討年輕型中風患者壓力感受與因應行為及其相關影響因素。採橫斷性研究,以立意取樣方式,選取16-45歲中風患者為研究對象共100名,採自填結構式問卷進行資料收集。研究結果發現研究族群對擔心再次中風(1.59±1.07)最感到壓力;而最常使用的因應行為則為專心治病(9.25±3.10)。影響因應行為的相關因素包括:教育程度、經濟狀況、中風次數、中風後是否仍擔任原工作、獨立自主能力與壓力感受。而因應行為與獨立自主能力呈正相關(γ=.496),與壓力感受則呈負相關(γ=-.505)。本研究結果建議中風初期宜及早提升個案獨立自主功能及增進其對復健計畫的了解與參與,以增進其正向因應行為。
The purpose of this study was to understand the relationship between stress perceptions and coping behaviors among young stroke patients. A cross-sectional design and purposive sampling technique were applied, and a total of 100 young stroke patients from aged from 16 to 45 were sampled. The results showed that worrying about the recurrence of stroke (1.59±1.07) was the most important stress factor for young stroke patients. With respect to coping behaviors, the participants tended to concentrate on the treatment of the disease effects (9.25±3.10). The significant factors influencing coping behavior were educational level, economic level, time of the stroke and career after the stroke. The Functional Independence Measure showed a positive correlation with coping behaviors (r=.496), and a negative correlation was observed between the stress perceptions score and coping behaviors (r=-.505). The results concluded that early intervention promoting independent functioning and understanding of the rehabilitation process may improve the positive coping behaviors among young stroke patients.
