Carrying out doctor’s orders by patients with hemiparesis rehabilitated at the rehabilitation department in 2008
Keywords:
cerebral stroke, rehabilitation, carrying out doctor’s orderAbstract
Rehabilitation and in particular rehabilitation in neurological diseases is a laborious, difficult and long-lasting process. It requires involvement of not only the whole rehabilitation team but also patients themselves and their families. When discharged, each patient hospitalized at the Rehabilitation Department receives a data sheet including doctor's orders regarding further procedures for the patient and his family. These are orders concerning the continuation of kinesitherapy, medicine taking, diet, consultant's checks and lifestyle. The aim of this thesis is to analyze the extent to which patients with hemiparesis discharged from the Rehabilitation Department carry out the orders for further procedures and the extent to which carrying such orders is determined by social factors. The hypothesis formulated was that older, poorly-educated people living in the county are less likely to carry out doctor's orders, which have an effect on their independence and a general health condition. The questionnaire survey covered 146 patients with hemiparesis rehabilitated at the rehabilitation department in 2008. A self-prepared questionnaire consisting of 20 questions was used for conducting the survey. From the questionnaires received back it appears that social factors determine the extent to which doctor's orders are carried out.
