Abstract

Cognitive impairment, motor dysfunction and emotional changes after cerebrovascular attack are the major cause of disability at the middle age and older populations. The aim of this study was to assess and to compare the cognitive function and emotional status, depressive symptoms of the post-stroke patients with age, sex and education level matched healthy controls. 43 post-stroke patients and 39 healthy controls were evaluated by “Mini Mental State Examinations (MMSE)” test for cognitive functions and by “Beck Depression Index (BDI)” for depressive symptoms. The mean age of the patients was 58.60±12.53 years. The mean MMSE scores of the patients was 21.79±6.53 and of 26 (66.7%) patients were below 25; the mean MMSE scores of the controls was 27.03±3.24 and of 8 (21.1%) controls MMSE scores were below 25; the difference was significant (p

Özet

Orta yaş ve üzeri popülasyonda dünyada ilk sıradaki özürlülük nedeni olan serebrovasküler atak, gelişen motor fonksiyon bozukluğu yanısıra kognitif fonksiyonların gerilemesi, duygu-durum değişiklikleri ile hastaların günlük yaşam aktivitelerini önemli derecede etkilemektedir. Çalışmamızın amacı, inme sonrası hastaların bilişsel fonksiyon ve duygu-durum değişikliklerini değerlendirmek ve sağlıklı kişilerin değerlendirmeleri ile karşılaştırmaktı. Bu amaçla serebrovaskuler atak geçirmiş 43 hasta ile yaş, cins ve eğitim düzeyi eşleştirilmiş 39 sağlıklı kişinin kognitif fonksiyon ve depresyon düzeyleri “Mini Mental Durum Muayenesi (MMDM)” testi ve “Beck Depresyon Ölçütü (BDÖ)” ile değerlendirildi. Hastaların yaş ortalamaları 58.60±12.53 yıl olup MMDM puan ortalamaları 21.79±6.53’dür; inmeli 26 kişinin (%66.7) MMDM puanı 25 ve altındadır. Sağlıklı kişilerin MMDM ortalamaları 27.03±3.24 ve 8 kişinin (%21.1) MMDM puanı 25 ve altındadır; iki grubun MMDM ortalamaları arasındaki fark anlamlıdır (p
