Abstract
|
|
Aims:
This study was designed to identify facilitators and barriers among stroke geriatrics with somatosensory injury by International classification of functioning, disability and health (ICD) categories.
Methods: 78 stroke geriatrics were interviewed based on ICF categories of environmental factors of the extended version of ICF core set for stroke between June to October 2015. Results: Half or more of participants with somatosensory injury were documented with two ICF categories as a facilitator and one category as barriers. But participants without somatosensory injury were documented with six ICF categories as a facilitator and no category as barriers. It was significantly more common for stroke geriatrics with somatosensory injury to indicate immediate family (e310), friend (e320), acquaintances, peers, colleagues, neighbors and community members (e325) in ICF chapters of supports and relationship, transportation services, systems and policies (e540), health services, systems and policies(e580) in ICF chapters of services, systems and policies as barriers than normal somatosensory stroke geriatrics. Conclusion: Geriatric stroke patients with somatosensory injury perceived more several barriers relate to supports and relationship, services, systems and policies than patients without somatosensory injury. | |
