“…The following criteria for the selection of patients were used: a first‐time confirmed diagnosis of a stroke, with lasting neurological symptoms and where rehabilitation was expected to last for at least 6 months, with no evidence of coexisting known malignant or other rapidly progressive medical disease. To assess the severity of patient disability and the functional outcome of medical rehabilitation, the functional independence measure (FIM) was used (Granger and Hamilton 1994; Grimby et al. 1996) (Table 2).…”

The meaning of being a middle‐aged close relative of a person who has suffered a stroke, 1 month after discharge from a rehabilitation clinic

The sudden and unexpected impact of stroke may have a stressful affect on close relatives. To illuminate the essential meaning in the lived experience of a middle-aged close relative of a person who has suffered a stroke, narrative interviews were conducted with 10 close relatives of people who had suffered their first stroke where both parties were aged over 18 and under 65. A phenomenological-hermeneutic interpretation of the narratives was then conducted. Three intimately intertwined themes emerged during the analysis: 'being called to mission', 'feeling lost and set adrift' and 'struggling to keep going'. The middle-aged close relatives felt unreflectively duty bound. There was a struggle with suffering and enduring the process of coping with life and overcoming a feeling of helplessness. Life turned out to be a struggle with overwhelming feelings. They felt alienated in a restricted life situation, disconnected from themselves and others, and from a world that supports feelings of being lost and set adrift (i.e. feeling homeless). Strength was found in moments when the situation improved, in being related to oneself and others, and when feelings of normality were regained.

“…Functional ability : The Functional Independence Measure (FIM) was used to measure ability to perform activities of daily living (ADLs). The FIM is a comprehensive measure of function that is used primarily in rehabilitation (Granger & Hamilton, 1992; SUNY, 1990). It has high overall internal consistency (Cronbach alpha range .93 to .95) and is responsive to functional gains achieved during rehabilitation, discriminating by age, morbidity, discharge destination, and type of disability (Dodds, Martin, Stolov, & Deyo, 1993).…”

Although much research has documented the functional outcomes in hip repair surgery, few studies have identified effective interventions to improve functional outcomes. The purpose of this study was to test the use of generic and individualized videos on patients' return to preoperative levels of independent functioning, increased physical performance, improved coping ability, and enhanced perception of ability to care for self. Two rehabilitation units in separate acute care facilities were used to recruit subjects. Data were collected on 82 participants on admission to the study, on discharge from rehabilitation, 1 week after discharge, and 3 months post discharge. The results indicate that video intervention has some benefit to persons recovering from hip repair surgery. The benefits were realized in physical performance as evidenced by a significant difference in the distance walked and time walked of participants in the treatment group.

“…Occupational therapists, physical therapists, and nurses completed specific items upon admission and at weekly intervals until discharge. The FIM has strong interrater reliability and is sensitive to improvements in functional status in patients undergoing rehabilitation 27 , 28 . We analyzed only the admission and discharge FIM scores because the average length of stay was three weeks, but this sometimes varied across patients, and we wanted a standard beginning and end point for all patients.…”

Hip fracture patients with cognitive impairments can achieve positive outcomes as defined by functional improvement and discharge destination. Intensive post-fracture rehabilitation in the early phase of recovery may promote functional independence and a return to the community for older patients at risk for nursing home placement. Future research should examine the long-term maintenance of these improvements and explore how rehabilitation interventions can be altered to enhance outcome.
