%X In order for patients with cerebrovascular disorder
to receive uninterrupted rehabilitation, it is necessary to implement a
psychological approach at the time when recovery of physical function is
expected, and it is imperative that the medical staff understands the patients¡¯
attitudes toward rehabilitation. For this reason, we conducted a survey among
people who had experienced depression after a cerebral stroke in order to
summarize their attitudes toward rehabilitation. Methods: The study
subjects were patients with cerebrovascular disorder who had experienced
melancholia, depression, or similar conditions. The survey was conducted using
semi-structured interview techniques. Berelson¡¯s content analysis was used to
analyze the data and perform a functional analysis. Results: A total of
168 words and 7 subcategories were extracted. Major categories of About Myself
(40.5%), About the Rehabilitation Staff (33.9%), and About Rehabilitation
(25.6%) were identified. Conclusion: As rehabilitation staff, we should always observe the motivation of our
patients and consider the effect of our own influence as we suggest and
implement clear objectives in order to achieve meaningful rehabilitation.
