| Research Abstract |
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine clinical characteristics of stroke patients with cognitive dysfunction through observation of their daily life. Methods: Thirty occupational therapists with over 3-year clinical experience chose 245 items of difficulties in patients’ ADL according to FIM. Using multidimensional scaling method and cluster analysis, the items were limited to 66 in 6 groups. These 66 were evaluated to 180 patients with cognitive dysfunction in a 5-graded scale.Result: Factor analysis exhibited 5 factors (30 items); the first was situation judgment (8), the second, behavioral regulation (7), the fourth, memory (7), the fifth, communication (5), and the sixth, divided attention (3). Each factor was correlated to consciousness and FIM. The two coma groups differed significantly in each score (p <0.01). Multiple regression analysis showed that Factors 1 on FIM (total scores).Conclusion; The findings suggest some hierarchical factor structure, in which observational evaluation would be of importance to efficaciously evaluate stroke patients with cognitive dysfunction.
