Outline of Final Research Achievements

This study aimed to enhance patients' motivation in stroke rehabilitation by investigating therapists' use of different motivational strategies and identifying discrepancies in patients' and therapists' perceptions of motivational factors. Furthermore, we developed a motivational model, ARCS-R, and confirmed its clinical applicability. These findings contribute to the development of patient-centered motivational interventions and serve as important foundational data for improving the quality of rehabilitation for stroke and other diseases and disabilities.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

本研究は、これまで個々のセラピストの経験に依存していたリハビリテーションにおける動機づけ方略を体系化し、患者中心のアプローチの重要性を示した点、開発した動機づけモデルARCS-Rは、臨床現場で活用可能な実践的ツールとして示した点に学術的意義や社会的意義がある。本研究成果は、脳卒中患者のリハビリテーション参加を促進し、機能回復と生活の質の向上に寄与すると期待される。
