| Abstract | ||||
| Background: Stroke is a neurological disorder due to a sudden decline in blood flow to a localized area of the brain. It is the second most common cause of death and the third most common cause of disability worldwide. Quality of life (QOL) is increasingly being used as an outcome measure designed to assess the health- related quality for patients with stroke. Aim of the study: This study aimed to assess health-related quality of life in patients with stroke. Research design: A descriptive design was used to conduct this study. Setting: The study was conducted at the Medical Neurological Departments & Outpatient Clinics of El- Fayoum General Hospital. Sample: A convenience sample composed of 100 post stroke patients. Data collection tools: Part I: Socio-demographic and medical data questionnaire. Part II: Stroke-specific quality of life scale (SS-QOL). Results: The mean score of overall HRQOL (118.97) was poor for the study patients. There was a significant relation between quality of life (QOL) and research variables regarding age, level of education, stroke duration, compliance with medication, and family history of stroke. Conclusion: Based on the results of present study, it can be concluded that all quality-of-life post stroke patients were poor. There is a statistically significant relation with QOL with age, stroke duration, compliance with medication, and family history of stroke. Recommendations: The study recommended to design health education program to promote stroke patient HRQOL. | ||||
