Objective: The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of self-administered check programs for
performing activities of daily living on rehabilitative motivation and functions of stroke patients.
Methods: From July 1, 2019, to July 29, 2019, 30 stroke patients were treated at A, B, C and D hospitals located in Busan and Ulsan. A generalized occupational therapy intervention program was applied to 15 control members, and a generalized occupational therapy intervention and self-administered check programs were applied to 15 subjects simultaneously. The intervention program was applied five times a week and a total of 20 times in four weeks. The ability to perform daily activities was assessed using Modified Bartel Index (MBI), and the rehabilitative motivation was evaluated using the Rehabilitative Motivation Scale. To analyze the effects of self-administered
check program on functional recovery and rehabilitative motivation, Wilcoxon Rank-sum testt were conducted.
Results: As a result of the Wilcoxon Rank-sum test to investigate the difference in the intervention effect between the experimental group and the control group, the functional recovery (Z = -2.769, p <.05) and rehabilitative motivation(Z = -2.367, p <.05) in the experimental group Showed a significant difference. In the control group, there was a significant difference in functional recovery (Z = -2.527, p <.05), but not in the rehabilitative motivation(Z = -1.743, p = 0.081).
Conclusion: The application of self-administered check programs in the occupational therapy program for functional recovery of stroke patients together showed significant improvements in the performance capability of activities of daily living and rehabilitative motivation. In addition, the possibility of using self-administered check programs could be checked as part of the home program.
