Predictors of distress following an acute stroke: Disability, control cognitions, and satisfaction with care

摘要: Abstract Whilst clinical predictors of distress following acute stroke have been identified (e.g., lesion site), this study hypothesised that greater prediction would be achieved by addressing individual differences in patients' cognitions perceived control, satisfaction with care, recovery confidence) and coping responses. We examined these relationships a longitudinal 71 survivors stroke. Measures were collected at three time points: 10-20 days after the stroke, one month six months hospital discharge. Stepwise multiple regression analyses performed using only significant bivariate correlates where dependent variables residualised scores which controlled for baseline levels anxiety depression. Satisfaction treatment confidence predicted outcome months, advice depression months. These results offer tentat...
