Community-based rehabilitation for older adults post-stroke in Thailand: An ethnographic study
The study highlights the importance of an integrated rehabilitation system that combines healthcare, socioeconomic support, and administrative mechanisms. Findings emphasize the need for advanced training in case management and coordination for community nurses and call for culturally sensitive rehabilitation protocols that merge traditional Thai healing practices with contemporary medical care. These findings align with global recommendations for sustainable rehabilitation and highlight the importance of culturally sensitive approaches. Strengthening formal and informal care networks can enhance rehabilitation outcomes and improve the quality of life for older adults post-stroke.
