Stroke Recovery in Underserved Populations 2005-2006 [United States]

The Stroke Recovery in Underserved Populations 2005-2006 study was created to address the National Institute on Aging (NIA) Request For Application entitled "Research on Mind-Body Interactions and Health" (RFA OD-03-008). It addressed the NIA interest in "the impact of optimism, happiness, or a positive attitude on well-being and health; and social functioning and health." The study examined how positive emotion (e.g., joy, gratitude, love, contentment) and social networks independently and interactively contribute to recovery of functional status after stroke within two underserved groups. The specific study aims were to: Examine recovery of functional status (motor and cognitive function), for White, African American and Hispanic persons with stroke discharged from rehabilitation facilities Examine the contributions of positive emotion and social networks on recovery of functional status (motor and cognitive function), for White, African American, and Hispanic persons with stroke discharged from rehabilitation facilities; and Examine the interaction between positive emotion and social networks on recovery of functional status (motor and cognitive function) for White, African American, and Hispanic persons with stroke discharged from rehabilitation facilities. The data were collected by the IT Health Track at four time points: at admission and discharge from rehabilitation facility, and 80-180 days and 365-425 days after discharge. These data emphasize recovery of motor and cognitive functional status, positive emotion, and social networks The dataset contains 226 variables and 1219 cases from 11 rehabilitation facilities across the United States.

《2005-2006年卒中康复在弱势群体中的研究》旨在响应美国老化国家研究所（National Institute on Aging，NIA）发布的名为“心灵与身体相互作用与健康研究”（Research on Mind-Body Interactions and Health，RFA OD-03-008）的申请征求函。本研究的宗旨在于探讨NIA对以下问题的兴趣：乐观、快乐或积极态度对福祉与健康以及社会功能与健康的影响；以及研究了积极情绪（例如，喜悦、感激、爱情、满足感）和社会网络如何独立及交互式地促进卒中后两弱势群体功能状态的恢复。具体研究目标包括：考察白人、非裔美国人和西班牙裔卒中患者在康复机构出院后的功能状态（运动和认知功能）的恢复情况；探究积极情绪和社会网络对白人、非裔美国人和西班牙裔卒中患者在康复机构出院后功能状态（运动和认知功能）恢复的贡献；以及考察积极情绪和社会网络在白人、非裔美国人和西班牙裔卒中患者在康复机构出院后功能状态（运动和认知功能）恢复过程中的相互作用。数据由IT健康跟踪系统在四个时间点收集：康复机构入院和出院时，以及出院后80-180天和365-425天。这些数据强调了运动和认知功能状态的恢复、积极情绪以及社会网络。该数据集包含226个变量和来自美国11家康复机构的1219个案例。
