Abstract
This research aimed to predict whether or not stroke survivors discharged from a recovery rehabilitation ward resume domestic chores. Using the Self-Rating Frenchay Activities Index, we investigated whether or not stroke survivors after being discharged resumed the following six chores:Preparing meals, washing up, washing clothes, light housework, heavy housework, and local shopping. After that, we examined the relationship between the subjects' abilities to resume domestic chores at discharge and their social environment. 128 stroke survivors participated in the study. As a result of logistic regression analysis, several predictive factors such as sex, household composition, and maximum walking speed for 10 m were selected. We suggest it is important to focus on these factors when supporting stroke survivors in recovery rehabilitation wards to help them resume domestic chores after discharge.
