Objective: Stroke is a health problem which significantly affects the quality of life of patients experiencing cognitive and functional disability. The aim of this study is to examine the relationship of functional independence with self-efficacy and resilience in stroke patients.
Methods: The research was carried out in the Neurology Service of Kütahya Health Sciences University Evliya Çelebi Training and Research Hospital between February 2021 and August 2021. In this context, the patient information form, functional independence, stroke self-efficacy, and adult resilience scales were applied face-to-face to 110 patients who had a stroke.
Results: According to the results, a positive and advanced correlation was determined between functional independence and stroke self-efficacy levels (P < .05). Accordingly, as the level of functional independence increased, the level of self-efficacy also increased. Besides, when functional independence and resilience scale were evaluated, a moderately positive relationship was determined with resilience ( P < .05). According to these data, as the level of functional independence increased, resilience level also increased.
Conclusion: The results demonstrate that as the patients’ functional independence levels increase, their self-efficacy and resilience levels also increase.
