  • Title: [Expectations of stroke patients and their relatives of rehabilitation].
    Author: Griebnitz E, Ladurner G, Lehofer M, Pichler M.
    Journal: Rehabilitation (Stuttg); 1990 Nov; 29(4):242-5. PubMed ID: 2291027.
    Abstract:
    The expectations towards rehabilitation held by 45 stroke patients and their relatives were investigated. It was found that the expectations held by the relatives are more realistic and not quite as optimistic as those held by the patients. The patients above all hoped for physical-vocational restoration, the relatives on the other hand more for emotional-social recovery. Also dealt with are the expectations and notions of patients and relatives in respect of duration, location and material rank of rehabilitation. Pointed out are the difficulties to be reckoned with on account of the divergent expectancies of patients and relatives toward rehabilitation.
