Objective To explore the correlation between compliance of rehabilitation treatment and health literacy and self-management behavior in stroke patients.

Methods A total of 241 stroke patients who underwent rehabilitation were included as the research object.According to the patients′ compliance of rehabilitation treatment, patients with compliance score ≥ 6 were regarded as high compliance group (115 cases), patients with a score of less than 6 were regarded as the low compliance group (126 cases).The Pearson correlation analysis and multivariate logistic regression model were used to analyze the factors affecting the compliance of stroke patients with rehabilitation treatment.

Results The health literacy, social support, physical function, and self-management behavior scores of patients in the high compliance group were significantly higher than those in the low compliance group (P < 0.01), and the anxiety state scores were significantly lower than those in the low compliance group (P < 0.01).Pearson correlation analysis showed that health literacy and self-management behavior were positively correlated with the treatment compliance of stroke rehabilitation patients (r=0.434, r=0.415, P < 0.01).Logistic regression analysis showed that health literacy, social support, physical function, and self-management behavior were the independent protective factor for the compliance of rehabilitation treatment in stroke patients, while anxiety state was a risk factor for the compliance of rehabilitation treatment (P < 0.01).

Conclusions Health literacy, social support, physical function, self-management behavior, and anxiety state are all important influencing factors for the compliance of rehabilitation treatment in stroke patients.
