Functional Status and Its Related Factors Among Stroke Survivors in Rehabilitation Departments of Hospitals in Shenzhen, China

Background: Many stroke survivors have multiple chronic diseases and complications, coupled with various other factors which may affect their functional status. We aimed to investigate the factors associated with poor functional status in hospitalized patients with stroke in Shenzhen, China.Methods: This is a cross-sectional study. Data on 646 patients with stroke were recruited from four urban hospitals using cluster sampling. The Longshi Scale was used to assess the functional status of stroke survivors. Explanatory variables, i.e. factors affecting functional status, included demographic, lifestyle factors, complications, and chronic conditions. The ordinal logistic regression model was used to investigate factors associated with poor functional status. Results: Stroke survivors with poor functional status accounted for 72.14% and were assessed as the bedridden group based on the Longshi scale, 21.67% of patients with moderate functional limitation were assessed as the domestic group and 6.19% of the patients with mild functional restriction was assessed as the community group. The highest dependence was noted for feeding (73.39%), bowel and bladder management (69.74%), and bedtime entertainment (69.53%) among the bedridden group, and housework (74.29%) among the domestic group. In the adjusted model, patients who were in older age groups (odds ratio [OR] = 2.39, 95% CI: 1.55–3.80), female (OR = 1.73, 95% CI: 1.08–2.77), duration of stroke more than 12 months (OR = 1.94, 95% CI: 1.28–2.95), with pulmonary infection (OR = 10.91, 95% CI: 5.81–20.50), and with deep venous thrombosis (OR = 3.00, 95% CI: 1.28–7.04) had almost or more than two times the risk of poorer functioning.Conclusions: Our study found that 72.14% of stroke survivors had poor functional status, 21.67% and 6.19% of stroke survivors had moderate functional limitations and mild functional restrictions in rehabilitation settings. The older age bracket (age ≥ 60) and females were more likely to exhibit poor functioning. Pulmonary infection and deep venous thrombosis, both common post-stroke complications, were related to the increased chance of dependence. Therefore, interventions aimed at treating or preventing pulmonary infection and deep vein thrombosis need to contribute to addressing these circumstances and subsequent dysfunction after stroke.

Mesin Pakan Otomatis Guna Meningkatkan Produktifitas Ternak Lele di Desa Sumbersari, Jember Jawa Timur

Catfish is one of the freshwater fish whose demand is increasing every year, both in the form of fresh fish and processed foods. This increase in demand along with the ease of maintenance has made catfish a cultivated commodity that is widely eyed by fish farmers. One of the important aspects in fish farming is the provision of fish feed, although it is relatively easy, but feed management is needed to increase fish production targets. The fish feeding method mostly uses manual sowing on the surface of the pond. This method has weaknesses in terms of labor requirements and the time required if catfish farmers have many ponds, especially if the breeders forget the schedule for fish feeding. The method of implementing this community service consists of socializing activities, presenting material, directing the steps for making automatic fish feeding tools, tool making practices, tool testing and evaluation. The manufacture of this automatic fish feed tool generally consists of making the body of the tool and the assembly of the timer module components. This activity was attended by 20 people who are members of the SYSGA group in Sumbersari District, a community group engaged in catfish farming. The activity went smoothly, the participants seemed enthusiastic during the activity. Further monitoring is needed to determine the level of effectiveness and efficiency of catfish production by breeders after the use of automatic fish feed equipment.
