Abstract

The aim of this study was to explore changes in the correlational association between predictors (i.e. sociodemographics, subjective health, social support, anxiety and coping) and outcome measures (i.e. subjective wellbeing and autonomy) before and after rehabilitation treatment. The data came from a sample of 90 patients (mean age 78.8 years; 84 percent female; 37 percent stroke, 44 percent fracture, 19 percent other diagnoses), who were assessed before and after rehabilitative treatment. Results revealed that although changes between predictors and outcomes were not prevalent with respect to subjective wellbeing, they were clearly evident with respect to autonomy. Whereas psychological variables, such as state anxiety and behavioural coping, played no predictive role at entry, they became the strongest predictors of autonomy at discharge.
