| Research Abstract |
This study ained to investigate the efficacy of a scale to assess the level of patients' willingness to independently move between a bed and wheelchair without healthcare providers watching them, which is the minimum physical assistance, among those in a convalescent stage of stroke. The scale was devised based on clinical judgments made by experienced nurses. To assess inter-and intra-rater reliabilities of the scale, an evaluation interval of 1 week was considered approoriate. Among the 8 scale items, the inter-rater reliability of 2 items was debatable. Also, a nationwide survey of nurses working on a convalescent rehabilitation ward revealed that they regarded all scale items as impotant when assessing patients' willingness to move without healthcare providers watching them.
