Introduction: The condition that appears in patients who have had a stroke is cognitive impairment. Cognitive impairment can worsen the condition of stroke patients so that it can slow down the recovery process and have a high risk of disability. This study aims to analyze the correlation between cognitive impairment and the level of disability in post-stroke patients. Methods: This study uses a correlational analytical design with a cross sectional technique design with a population of 70 participants and a sampling technique using consecutive sampling obtained a sample of 64 participants. The independent variable in this study is cognitive impairment of post-stroke patients while the dependent variable is the level of disability of post-stroke patients. The instrument for collecting data on cognitive impairment was using the MoCA-Ina questionnaire and the level of disability using the WHODAS questionnaire. The data were analyzed using the Spearman Rank test with significance < 0.05. Results: The results of this study showed that most of the 52 (81.2%) participants had cognitive impairment and most of the 42 (65.6%) participants had moderate disabilities and a small portion of 10 (15.6%) participants had severe disabilities. The results of statistical tests on the relationship between cognitive impairment and the level of disability in post-stroke patients through the Spearman Rank test showed p = 0.000 with coefficient correlation 0.665. Conclusions: The analysis test showed a strong correlation between cognitive impairment and the level of disability in post-stroke patients. Post-stroke patients with cognitive impairment must be treated properly so that it does not result in disability in patients that has a direct impact on the psychosocial and quality of life of the patient.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
