  AUTHORS: Toshimasa Mikawa, Hirofumi Tanabe

  KEYWORDS: Post-Stroke Depression, Rehabilitation, Qualitative Research

  JOURNAL NAME: Open Journal of Depression, Vol.12 No.3, August 28, 2023

  ABSTRACT: In order for patients with cerebrovascular disorder to receive uninterrupted rehabilitation, it is necessary to implement a psychological approach at the time when recovery of physical function is expected, and it is imperative that the medical staff understands the patients’ attitudes toward rehabilitation. For this reason, we conducted a survey among people who had experienced depression after a cerebral stroke in order to summarize their attitudes toward rehabilitation. Methods: The study subjects were patients with cerebrovascular disorder who had experienced melancholia, depression, or similar conditions. The survey was conducted using semi-structured interview techniques. Berelson’s content analysis was used to analyze the data and perform a functional analysis. Results: A total of 168 words and 7 subcategories were extracted. Major categories of About Myself (40.5%), About the Rehabilitation Staff (33.9%), and About Rehabilitation (25.6%) were identified. Conclusion: As rehabilitation staff, we should always observe the motivation of our patients and consider the effect of our own influence as we suggest and implement clear objectives in order to achieve meaningful rehabilitation.
