다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The purpose of this study was to determine pat-tern of the stress perceived by stroke patients over time. The ultimate goal of the research is to provide data to help nurses to design the plan of nursing care of the stroke patients both in the hospital and at home. A total 57 admitted stroke patients were collected from one general hospital in Seoul from June, 12 to September, 10, 1993. The data were collected for three phases(within one week after leaving the hospital). The tools for this ttudy, three scales were used : Stress scale developed by the investigator, Constitution classifing scale designed by Kho(1984), and Self-care measuring scale by Kang(1984). Data were analyzed in four steps using statistical analysis. First, demographic data were determined bydescriptive statistics. Second, the pattern of stress perceived by stroke patients across three phases was measured using repeated measures ANOVA. Third, stress of stroke patients classified by constitution, paralyzed area, and attack frequency were measured using ANOVA or t-test, and the pattern of stress by group over time was determined using paired t-test in post hoc test. Fourth, pearson correlation coefficients were calculated to self-care activities.
