| Abstract | Background: Stroke is a major health problem in Thailand. The majority of stroke survivors suffer a sequela of the disease such as muscle weakness, sensory deficits, visual problems, and perceptual and cognitive function disorders. All of these lead to poor performance in activities of daily living for those survivors. Community-based rehabilitation is considered a potential approach that promotes functional performance in stroke individuals.Objectives: The purpose of the current study was to investigate the effectiveness of rehabilitation services provided by trained village health volunteers (VHVs) in activities of daily living performance for stroke patients.Materials and methods: This study was a one-group pre-test and post-test research design. Eleven stroke subjects were recruited by purposive sampling from Doi Lor Community Rehabilitation Center in Chiang Mai Province. Their activities of daily living performance were compared before and after the treatment program. The instrument used was The Activities of Daily Living Assessment Tool. Statistics used were descriptive and included the Wilcoxon Signed Ranks Test.Results: Results demonstrated that the basic activities of daily living performance in stroke participants increased significantly from pre-intervention to post-test (z=-2.223, p<0.05). Also, scores in the instrumental activities of daily living of these individuals increased from pre-test to post-test significantly (z=-2.805, p<0.05).Conclusion: It was indicated that Doi Lor Community Rehabilitation Center run by trained VHVs could provide effective improvement in activities of daily living performance in stroke clients. |
