| dcterms.abstract | Stroke is the most common neurologic disease of adulthood. 80 to 90 % of surviving victims have neurological deficits. The deficits will result in disability and impact on the independent performance in daily living. The self-efficacy of patients with stroke are declined and their depressive mood may heightened according to the outcome of stroke. A total of twenty patients suffered from cortical infarct were recruited in the study. They were asked to perform Complicated Daily Tasks (CDT), an assessment of IADL. Their perceived self-efficacy on performance and depressive mood were measured before and after the actual performance. The result showed patients had a significant increased in self-efficacy and decreased in depressive mood after gaining experience of performing the tasks. The performance of CDT was largely predicted by the self-efficacy. The result supports practice of activities is able to improve self-efficacy and depressive mood of patients with stroke. | en_US |
