About this study

The Chinese version of Demoralization Scale-Mandarin Version (DS-MV) was used to assess the mental state of patients with stroke after debridement. The statistical analysis test of correlation is carried out, and the reliability and validity test and the norm establishment of the Chinese version are further tested. Convenient sampling will be performed at a single medical facility. The planned implementation period is 2019/01/01 ~ 2019/12/31, and the location of the case is the rehabilitation ward and outpatient clinic of Taoyuan Hospital. The diagnosis must be: intensive stroke or hemorrhagic brain within three years. In the case of a 20- to 100-year-old clinical patient with stroke, the subject should explain the content of the case, and the subject will complete the test consent form after informed consent, and then begin the evaluation process of the self-assessment questionnaire. The assessment procedure is preceded by a clinical psychologist conducting with MMSE test to determine the cognitive function. When the patient's consciousness is blurred, the simple intelligent state test (MMSE) score less than 24 points, aphasia can not be effectively communicated, the diagnosis of mental illness or mental disorder has been recorded on the medical record, or the patient or family member is unwilling to sign the informed consent form. If the above situation is met, subjects will be excluded. The self-assessment questionnaire will obtain the scores of the subjects in the Chinese version of the Demoralization Scale-Mandarin Version (DS-MV) and the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9). Statistical analysis, as well as the Chinese version of the loss of the scale of the reliability and validity of the test and the establishment of clinical norm scores.

Primary outcomes

  1. demoralization Scale-Mandarin Version (DS-MV) total score

    Time frame: through study completion, an average of 1 year

    When participants was included, investigators get on one-time assessment use the demoralization Scale-Mandarin Version (DS-MV). The demoralization Scale-Mandarin Version (DS-MV) minimum score are 0, and maximum score are 96, cut-off point are 30. No subscale.

Secondary outcomes

  1. demoralization Scale-Mandarin Version (DS-MV) total score split-half reliability

    Time frame: through study completion, an average of 1 year

    Divide the demoralization Scale-Mandarin Version (DS-MV) into half, and then test the items of the previous half (item 1-12) and the second half (item 13-24) of the questionnaire. Then the two half questionnaire scores were test of correlation coefficient.Then If the degree of correlation is high, the reliability is very high.

  2. Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9) total score

    Time frame: through study completion, an average of 1 year

    When participants was included, investigators get on one-time assessment use the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9) .Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9) minimum score are 0, and maximum score are 27. No subscale.

  3. demoralization Scale-Mandarin Version (DS-MV) total score criterion-related validity

    Time frame: through study completion, an average of 1 year

    Correlation test between demoralization Scale-Mandarin Version (DS-MV) total score and Patient Health Questionnaire(PHQ-9) total score.
