Factors Influencing Adherence to Home-Based Exercise Rehabilitation in Stroke Patients from a Temporal Perspective: An Explanatory Sequential Mixed-Methods Study

Temporal perspective is an important driver of adherence to home-based rehabilitation among stroke patients. As rehabilitation habits develop, behavioral patterns gradually shift from being "intention-driven" to becoming "automatic habits", thereby weakening the direct driving effect of intention. Given the potential presence of latent executive dysfunction in stroke patients, targeted assessment tools and intervention strategies should be developed to bridge the gap between intention and behavior.
