© 2020 The Author(s)..
Previous studies have suggested that nearly 30% of the stroke victims present with signs of depression within the first 5 years of illness. Since post-stroke depression significantly affects the patient both physically and psychologically, the emotional disturbances impede the progress and effectiveness of rehabilitation. To utilize sunlight therapy in post-stroke patients in order to improve the depression and daily activity function. This study was a single-blind design randomized controlled intervention with sunlight exposure design. The population were stroke patients with tendency to depression. Exposed to sunlight for at least 30 min per day, at least 14 days of exposure duration of 4 weeks. A total of 46 patients were 23 patients in the experimental group and the control group. The research tools include: depression status (Taiwanese depression scale, TDS), physical activity function (Barthel Index), and cognitive status (MMSE). The CONSORT guideline was used in this study. After the data was analyzed with the generalized estimating equation (GEE), significant improvement was noted among the experimental ground in 2nd post-test depression score, daily function in the first and second post-test Barthel Index score. There was no significant improvement in cognitive function. This study confirms that sunlight therapy improves the mental health of post-stroke patients with depressed mood. It also enhances daily activity and facilitates the recovery to a health state.
