OBJECTIVES:1.To develop the Chinese version of Stroke Impact Scale (SIS) and evaluate its'reliability,validity,feasibility,responsibility2.To explore the influencing factors of stroke patients'quality of life (QOL)3.To evaluate the effect of rehabilitation nursing intervention on post-stroke patients'QOLDESIGN:The prospect cohort research took Roy's Adaptation Model and Nursing Process as its framework. A convenient sample of 130 stroke victims in three provincial general hospitals provided data. The 130 patients were interviewed and administered Chinese version of Stroke Impact Scale (SIS). And we divided the 80 patients in FuZhou City into two groups, that is the intervention group and the control group. The intervention group received rehabilitation nursing from professional nurses for three months. The rehabilitation nursing included offering related knowledge, limbs functional exercise, psychological health education, and etc. We also collected patients'data through reading their medical record, face-to-face interview, telephone interview and letter follow-up. We took the statistical methods in SPSS13.0 such as descriptive statistics, internal consistency checking, intra-class correlation coefficient of repeated measurement, factor analysis, Pearson correlation analysis, multiple stepwise regression analysis, chi-square test, t test, rank test, analysis of variance of repeated measurement, and etc.RESULTS:1.The internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha) for the overall scale and each dimension of Chinese version SIS are all greater than 0.8. The intra-class correlation coefficients are all greater than 0.7 in repeated measurement reliability. The correlation coefficient between each dimension and their subordinate item is greater than the correlation coefficient between each dimension and non-subordinate item. The correlation coefficient between each dimension and the overall scale is greater than the correlation coefficient between each dimension and other dimension. The...
