Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Illness Perception_change is being assessed
Time Frame: The data collection was conducted at three time points: first week (baseline; Time 1) of admission to the rehabilitation ward and then first month (Time 2) and second month (Time 3) follow-up after discharge.

Investigators used the Illness Perception Questionnaire-Revised (IPQ-R) to evaluate stroke patients' positive illness representation.

Investigators used the three positive domains (personal control, treatment control, and illness coherence) of illness representation to evaluate stroke patients' positive illness representation. Total scores ranged from 16 to 80 in each domain. High scores on all three dimensions (personal control, treatment control, and illness coherence) indicated a more positive illness representation.
The data collection was conducted at three time points: first week (baseline; Time 1) of admission to the rehabilitation ward and then first month (Time 2) and second month (Time 3) follow-up after discharge.
Depression and Anxiety_change is being assessed
Time Frame: The data collection was conducted at three time points: first week (baseline; Time 1) of admission to the rehabilitation ward and then first month (Time 2) and second month (Time 3) follow-up after discharge.
Investigators used the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) to evaluate stroke patients' depression and anxiety.Total scores ranged from 0 to 21 in each domain, and higher scores indicated higher anxiety or depression.
The data collection was conducted at three time points: first week (baseline; Time 1) of admission to the rehabilitation ward and then first month (Time 2) and second month (Time 3) follow-up after discharge.
Resilience_change is being assessed
Time Frame: The data collection was conducted at three time points: first week (baseline; Time 1) of admission to the rehabilitation ward and then first month (Time 2) and second month (Time 3) follow-up after discharge.
Investigators used the Resilience Scale (RS) to evaluate stroke patients' resilience.Total scores ranged from 25 to 175, with higher scores as indicating greater resilience
The data collection was conducted at three time points: first week (baseline; Time 1) of admission to the rehabilitation ward and then first month (Time 2) and second month (Time 3) follow-up after discharge.
