Ego State Analysis in Stroke Rehabilitation / 中国康复理论与实践

ABSTRACT

Because the rehabilitation process is too long and its effect is non-significant, stroke patients are prone to showing over-reli-ance on their families, being unconfident in their abilities, and they usually miscommunicate with medical staff, in fact, the reason why they have these problems is that they didn't manifest appropriate ego states, so they couldn't communicate with families and medical staff healthi-ly, which is extremely unfavorable for stroke rehabilitation. So-called ego state is individual mentality and corresponding behavior patterns. This paper used ego state concept in transactional analysis theory to describe the change of stroke patients' ego states, and analyze the com-munication patterns among patients, medical staffs and families, in order to assist patients to be aware of their own ego states, and present them properly, develop healthy communication, and promote the rehabilitation of the disease in the end.
