Objective: To determine the satisfaction of the stroke inpatients and their caregivers in Rehabilitation Service and to analyze the effectiveness, social risk, and discharge destination.
Material And Method: Prospective longitudinal cohort multicenter study. An analysis was made of the social risk (Gijón Scale), co-morbidity (Charlson Index), disability (Barthel Index), effectiveness of the rehabilitation treatment, satisfaction (Pound Questionnaire) and discharge destination of 241 patients. An evaluation was also made on 119 caregivers 6 months post-stroke, recording age, family relationship, time care-giving, satisfaction with the information/training, and accessibility to the rehabilitation team.
Results: The patient profile is a 71 year-old male, with low/intermediate social risk, high co-morbidity and total/severe dependence, with 27.1% living alone. Almost all (96.6%) of the patients claimed to be satisfied/very satisfied with the treatment, with satisfaction with the recovery being lower (80.3%). The effectiveness was 32.5 ± 20.4. Home was the discharge destination of 81.7% of the patients.The average age of the caregivers was 58.8 ± 12.3 years, and 73.9% were women. The time dedicated to care-giving was over 6 hours per day in the 62% of the cases. Being satisfied/very satisfied with the received information was recorded by 89.9% of the caregivers.
Conclusions: Patients admitted for stroke rehabilitation achieve significant functional gain during hospitalization and return to their homes in most cases. The satisfaction with the rehabilitation treatment and received information is high. The training of the caregiver is an aspect that needs improving.
