Summary

This study aims to investigate the effects of an early mobilization intervention in improving functional status, psychological distress, and quality of life in stroke patients. We hypothesize that this intervention method can significantly alleviate patient anxiety and depression, thereby promoting functional recovery and enhancing overall quality of life. Through this research, we hope to provide stroke patients with more effective exercise programs to help them regain health and well-being.

Detailed description

This study employs an experimental design conducted on patients in the stroke unit of the hospital who are over 20 years old and have either ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke with stable vital signs post-stroke onset, limb muscle strength greater than 3 points, and good communication skills in Chinese and Taiwanese, or they can read Chinese. Eligible participants are divided into an experimental group and a control group. All participants receive standard stroke unit care, while the intervention group additionally undergoes a 3-day activity protocol. The primary and secondary outcomes are assessed at baseline and at 1, 4, and 12 weeks post-stroke. Finally, the study analyzes the effect of early intervention on improving the prognosis of stroke patients. The data collected in this study, whether in paper form or electronically, will be documented on a computer. After completing the research report, any recordings and paper documents will be destroyed. Once the data is documented, identifiable patient information will be removed, and each record will be assigned a unique code, making individual data unidentifiable.
