Psychological Study on the Functional State of a Patient with Ischemic Stroke

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to present psychological study of the func-tional state of the patient.methods of the research. The following theoretical methods of the research were used to solve the tasks formulated in the article: a categorical method, structural and functional methods, the methods of the analysis, systematization, modeling, generalization. The method of organizing an empirical research was used as an experimental method.the results of the research. The results show, that there are four primary clusters. They consist of one basic variable, with the help of which we identify them. These clusters characterize the current state of patients with ischemic stroke at the time of the start of rehabilitation measures. The interaction of “Factor of deviation from the autogenous norm, pathology of the somatic state” and “Factor of instability of health and well­being” make up the first and se­cond primary clusters, which are dominant. “Anxiety Factor” and “The Factor of passi vity, physical limitation of activity” form the third and the fourth primary clusters.conclusions. Such interaction of the studied variables indicates the pre­sence of psychological discomfort or a state of a physiological discomfort. It is a source of anxiety. In the first place, in order of significance, the restoration of lost motor functions appears in a case of such patients, when the patient feels only a certain anxiety from the view of his/her psycho­physiological state, without giving himself/herself an account of the reason for the presence of anxiety. The limits of psychological capabilities of patients are significantly narrowed – this is evidenced by the value of the interaction of the indicator “Factor of deviation from the autogenous norm, pathology of the somatic state” and “Anxiety Fac-tor”. These indicators are quite low, although their rehabilitation potential is of-ten high (forecast by a specialist neurologist). Such patients are not fully oriented to the process of physical rehabilitation, they have no or rather low motivation to engage in physical exercises. This should also be taken into account when planning and implementing rehabilitation measures, which we have done in the formative experiment
