Learning readiness for patient teaching in stroke rehabilitation.

Motivation and ability are attributes of learning readiness for patient teaching. Achievement motivation theory includes the assumption that the tendency to succeed in regaining functional losses due to stroke is related to patients' perceptions of how difficult activities will be to accomplish. Ability is assessed using the Functional Independence Measure. A framework is applied to a patient situation demonstrating that the tendency to succeed is greater when striving to achieve goals with an uncertain level of difficulty than when goals are either easy or hard. Implications for nursing and research are described.

A comparison of the educational wants of family caregivers of patients with stroke.

The purpose of this study was to identify the relative importance of four categories of educational wants of family caregivers: assisting the adult with disabilities, maintaining their own well-being, maintaining family well-being, and understanding health and human resources. In addition, the study sought to compare the responses of men and women currently providing care for a family member disabled by stroke with those of men and women planning to provide care in the future. An assumption of adult learning theory is that an individual's prior experience is a foundation for learning. Differences in the prior experiences of men and women and their status with regard to having cared for a person disabled by stroke suggest that differences in educational wants have implications for planning education for caregivers.
