Abstract:

Objective To investigate and analyze factors affecting depressive disorders in elderly stroke patients after rehabilitation treatment. Methods A total of 1 100 elderly stroke patients receiving rehabilitation treatment in the three hospitals (Beijing Electric Power Hospital of State Grid Corporation, Beijing Fengtai Hospital of Integrative Medicine and Beijing Daxing Hospital of Integrative Medicine) were selected as the study subjects. General data were collected, and patients were surveyed using the daily life ability scale (BI), family care scale and social support scale (SSRS), according to the Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD) to determine whether patients developed depressive disorders. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis were used to analyze influencing factors of depressive disorders in elderly stroke patients after rehabilitation treatment. Results A total of 1 100 survey questionnaires were issued and 1 073 were retrieved, with an effective rate of 97.5%, and among them, 386 cases (36.0%) were diagnosed with depressive disorder, and 687 cases (64.0%) without depressive disorder. There were significant differences in the incidence of depression between patients with different ages, complications, per capita family income, BI score, family caring degree and SSRS score (P<0.05). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that advanced age (OR=1.337, 95%CI: 1.014-1.763), complication (OR=3.214, 95%CI: 1.365-7.569), lower per capita monthly family income (OR=2.263, 95%CI: 1.137-4.503), lower BI score (OR=1.872, 95%CI: 1.158-3.026), average family caring degree (OR=2.639, 95%CI: 1.200-5.802) and lower SSRS score (OR=1.557, 95%CI: 1.044-2.322) were risk factors for depression in elderly stroke patients after rehabilitation treatment (P<0.05). Conclusion More attention should be given to elderly stroke patients to improve family care and social support, thus reducing the risk of depressive disorders after rehabilitation.
