ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the effect of dressing techniques under Orem self-care theory on the ability of daily living of stroke patients with hemiplegia. Methods About 96 stroke patients with hemiplegia were randomly divided into an experimental group and a control group, 48 cases in each group. The patients in the experimental group received training on dressing techniques under Orem self-care theory, while those in the control group received routine training on dressing techniques.The daily life ability of both groups was comfared. Result After one month, the Barthel scores in the experimental group were higher than those of the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion Dressing techniques under Orem self-care theory can improve the ability of daily living of stroke patients with hemiplegia.
