摘　　要：Stroke rehabilitation, especially for patients with sequelae, lacks practicable rehabilitation training methods. Using the convenience sampling method, self-care ability in 60 stroke patients was investigated for 6 months to 2 years post-stroke （sequelae stage）, as well as the capability of primary caregivers selected from two communities in Shanghai, China. Influential factors were analyzed. Results demonstrated that only 37% of stroke patients exhibited strong self-care ability, and 43% of primary caregivers provided high levels of care. Results also demonstrated that self-care ability in stroke patients, as well as the capability of primary caregivers, should be improved. A total of 47% of stroke patients participated in community rehabilitation training, and self-care ability was significantly better in this group than in patients who did not receive rehabilitation training. Thus it is necessary to develop systematic, individualized, and family-based rehabilitative strategies to improve community rehabilitation training modes and strengthen rehabilitation guidance for patients and caregivers.Stroke rehabilitation, especially for patients with sequelae, lacks practicable rehabilitation training methods.
