Overview

Qualitative study reveals multidimensional burdens and support needs in stroke inpatients with hemiplegic shoulder pain, highlighting the necessity of multidisciplinary collaborative care.

Key Points

  • To explore the lived rehabilitation experiences and multidimensional care demands of hospitalized stroke patients suffering from hemiplegic shoulder pain using the ICF framework.
  • Conducted a descriptive phenomenological study using semi-structured, in-depth interviews with purposively sampled stroke inpatients experiencing hemiplegic shoulder pain (N=12).
  • Analyzed interview transcripts and extracted core thematic structures using Colaizzi's seven-step phenomenological analysis method.
  • Hemiplegic shoulder pain imposed multidimensional challenges, including physical motor limitations, deficits in rehabilitation knowledge, emotional distress, restricted social participation, and financial strain.
  • Identified four core domains of inpatient care needs: symptom management and psychological support, functional reshaping training, environmental and social resources, and patient-oriented health empowerment.
