Abstract

The study conducted to Cerebrovascular disease in-patients of De La Salle University Medical Center. An inclusion criteria that was formulated by the researchers should be met by the respondents. A checklist , with both fixed alternative questions and multiple answer interview guide, was used as a guide in asking questions while conducting the personal interview to the subjects. Data that were congregated from a personal interview of the study were tailed and analyzed. As a result of the study, most respondents were able to identify the benefits of out-patients PT program. However, they considered financial barrier as a big hindrance for their compliance tp PT. Aside from that, the distance of the clinic from their residence, availability of transportation and the companion/caregiver were factors that mostly hindered them. the least factor that they considered was the presence pf other medical conditions. With regards to this study, in-patients knowledge regarding the benefits and hindrances of an out-patient PT program, is substantial in determining their insight of the program/rehabilitation itself. This must be discovered and understood before effective participation by the patients can take place.
