Patients with stroke who received treatment in Jiangnan University Affiliated Hospital between July 2023 and January 2024 were selected as the study participants. The General Characteristics Questionnaire, the Self-Efficacy for Appropriate Medication Use Scale (SEAMS), the Chinese version of the Drug Literacy Scale and the Self-Administration of Medication tool were used to investigate patients with stroke and to analyse the factors influencing the self-management of their medication.Results: A total of 210 patients were included in this study. The average score of medication self-management was 66.71 (standard deviation = 9.55), and SEAMS and medication literacy scores were positively correlated with the total score of medication self-management behaviour. Furthermore, we found that the Barthel index (BI), SEAMS and medication literacy scores were the main predictors of medication self-management behaviour (R2 = 0.790, p < 0.001).Conclusion: This study found that patients with stroke with a lower BI and higher SEAMS or medication literacy scores also had higher levels of medication self-management. The factors discussed in this study may help develop individualised interventions in medication self-management for patients with stroke.Keywords: stroke, medication self-management, medication literacy, self-efficacy |
