A review of longitudinal studies on social participation in stroke patients
This review summarizes the concept of social participation,the status quo of longitudinal research in stroke patients(quantitative research,qualitative research,and time point selection),the trend of change(obvious improvement of social partici-pation was observed in the first 6 months,and then the magnitude of improvement was generally milder),and the challenges(re-peated data collection,long time consuming,high cost,high dropout rate,and unable to determine the best research time point).The aim is to provide reference for performing high quality longitudinal research and conducting targeted intervention on social par-ticipation of stroke patients.
