Abstract
ObjectiveSocial support can be divided into emotional support, tool support and information support in function or mode. Emotional support is encouragement, expressed as love and care, respect and value, encouragement and compassion, and psychological resilience due to adaptation to adversity and stressors, which is conducive to personal positive psychological adjustment and good functional status.This study aims to explore the status of resilience and social support in elderly stroke patients and examine the correlation between the two factors. Methods: Convenience sampling was used to survey 280 elderly stroke ischemic patients admitted to the Department of Neurology in our hospital from January to December 2020. General information, resilience, and social support were assessed through questionnaires. Results: The participants had a moderate level of resilience, with an average score of (63.77±9.99). The total social support score ranged with an average score of (33.72±5.77), indicating a relatively low level of social support. After the Pearson correlation analysis, there was a positive correlation between resilience and social support namely r=0.277, P <0.05. Conclusion: Enhancing social support among elderly stroke patients is an effective way to improve their psychological resilience.
