The Effect of Home Visiting Physical Therapy Based on Wellness on ADL, Depressive Disorder, Quality of Life in Chronic Stroke Patients

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of home visiting physical therapy based on wellness on the ADL, depressive disorder, quality of life in chronic stroke patients. In this study, 30 patients, the home visiting physical therapy was performed once a week for 8 weeks and scored the K-MBI, the CES-D, the EQ-5D before and after. After 8 weeks of visiting for physical therapy, total scores of K-MBI, CES-D, EQ-5D were significant improvement(p〈.05). Before home visiting physical therapy correlation between the K-MBI, the CES-D, the EQ-5D was very strong and there were a strongly correlation between the K-MBI and the CES-D(r=-.881), the CES-D and the EQ-5D(r=-.873), the K-MBI and the EQ-5D(r=.868). After home visiting physical therapy correlation between the K-MBI, the CES-D, the EQ-5D was very strong and there were a strongly correlation between the CES-D and the EQ-5D(r=-.812), the K-MBI and the CES-D(r=-.796), the K-MBI and the EQ-5D(r=.765). The finding of multiple regression analysis showed that EQ-5D were composed of K-MBI and CES-D by 80.6% before therapy, and the probability of those variables that could brought a change on EQ-5D are shown to be K-MBI(β=.441), CES-D(β=-.485). After therapy, the percentage of K-MBI and CES-D effect on EQ-5D were shown to be 69.8%, and this also brought a change in the variables to be CES-D(β=-.554).
