scale, and the effect of health-related and socio-demographic factors by using a questionnaire.
Results. More than a half, i.e. 58% of patients, were fully efficient. Patients after stroke had a lower level of self-care efficiency
than those admitted for other reasons. Diseases of the cardiovascular, respiratory and digestive system, as well as motor
organs and metabolic diseases have a considerable influence on the level of functional capacity, similar to most of the
disorders in higher nervous activity. Functional capacity decreases with age. Patients who receive retirement benefits are
characterised by a lower level of self-care efficiency than the respondents who maintain themselves on other sources.
Along with declining housing conditions, the level of self-care efficiency decreases. People with lower education level are
less efficient than those with secondary or university education.
Conclusions: The respondents self-care efficiency depends on the cause of admittance to the hospital, co-morbidity,
disorders of higher nervous activity, age, education, source of income and housing conditions. Persons with complete
self-care efficiency constituted the largest group.
