Abstract

Objective To explore the relationship between the occurrence of post-stroke depression(PSD) and relevant factors.Methods Hamilton depression scale(17th edition) was employed to investigate and score 53 patients with stroke.Relevant factors were analyzed.Results There were 18 PSD patients with a total incidence rate of 33.9%,among which,8 were light of disease condition(44.5%),6 moderate(33.3%) and 4 severe(22.2%).Light and moderate PSDs were predominant(77.8%).The health conditions before stroke and educational levels were not related to the incidence of PSD.However,PSD was related to gender,health conditions after stroke,and family relationship(P0.05).Conclusion Gender,health conditions after stroke,harmony between family members are the factors relevant to PSD.Education level and health condition before stroke are irrelevant to PSD.
