The Relationship of Quality of Sleep With Stress and Rehabilitation Motivation in Stroke

Effects of the sleep quality of chronic stroke outpatients on patterns of activity performance and quality of life

“…These findings suggest that activities in the areas of work and daily living work, which are more proactive in a day, are performed more in the group with higher sleep quality. These results are in line with the previous research findings that reported that higher sleep quality results in improvements in the capacities of daily activities and rehabilitation motivation ( Ju, & Kim, 2017;Kang, Hong, & Jung, 2017), supplementing and supporting the previous studies by analyzing the practical activity performance in a day. In addition, this means that when the quality of sleep of the subjects who are partially unbalanced in the life by the disability due to stroke is lower, the rate of active participation of the subjects for health could be lower in terms of daily life, and the percentage of passive activities of them could be increased.…”

“…If we review recent studies on the quality of sleep of stroke patients, in particular, the studies that examined the relationship between sleep quality and functional level in 80 acute stroke patients, they reported that there was a significant correlation between sleep quality, upper extremity function, and ability to perform daily activities, and it is important to manage the factors that interfere with their sleep in terms of their ability to perform daily activities and return to society (Kim, Kim, Yang, Kim & Kim, 2015). Furthermore, in the studies on the relationship between quality of sleep, stress level and rehabilitation motivation of patients with chronic stroke for more than 6 months after the onset of stroke, it was reported that their sleep quality has a significantly correlation with stress and rehabilitation motivation, which are critical factors in the rehabilitation of the subjects (Kang, Hong & Jung, 2017). However, only a few studies have been conducted on the sleep quality of stroke patients, which means there are even fewer practical studies on sleep quality level and its effects on chronic stroke outpatients, who are exposed and required to perform various roles and activities in their local communities without certain control or management of their lives after the initial hospitalization stage.…”

Mental health according to sleep duration in stroke survivors: A population‐based nationwide cross‐sectional study

“…Although it is difficult to compare the present results with previous studies due to the lack of studies that directly analyzed sleep duration in relation to mental health in stroke survivors, we can infer that stress among stroke survivors is more closely related to sleep quality than to sleep duration. This is supported by the previous finding that stress levels decrease with increasing sleep quality among stroke patients . Overall, having an adequate amount of quality sleep is important for the mental health of stroke survivors.…”

“…This is supported by the previous finding that stress levels decrease with increasing sleep quality among stroke patients. 18 Overall, having an adequate amount of quality sleep is important for the mental health of stroke survivors.…”

“…Regarding stroke patients, frequent awakening is more common among stroke patients who report suicidality . In contrast, the stress levels of stroke patients have been shown to decrease as their quality of sleep increases . Numerous studies have examined the mental health of stroke survivors, and although some reported that sleep quality influences survivorsʼ mental health, virtually none have directly analyzed mental health as it relates to sleep duration in stroke survivors.…”
