Title
Predictors of Stroke Survivors’ Quality of Life During Home Rehabilitation: A Cross-Sectional Study
Subject
Home rehabilitation; stroke survivors; quality of life
Description
Background: Stroke survivors face the challenge of living in a body that functions
differently than before, which impacts their quality of life. Stroke rehabilitation is
essential, as the principle of neuroplasticity supports recovery from disability, and
this process continues when survivors undergo home-based rehabilitation.
However, the factors influencing their quality of life remain unclear.
Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the predictors of stroke survivors’ quality
of life during home rehabilitation.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 142 stroke survivors
recruited using purposive sampling. Data were collected using the Stroke Specific
Quality of Life (SS-QoL) questionnaire and an additional questionnaire assessing
knowledge, attitudes, and practices related to home rehabilitation. Logistic
regression was employed to examine predictors of stroke survivors’ quality of life.
Results: Most respondents (59.15%) were men, with a mean age of 59.25 years
(SD=10.5). Many stroke survivors had a high quality of life (n=92; 64.79%), good
knowledge (n=114; 80.28%), positive attitudes (n=83; 58.5%), and a high level of
home rehabilitation practice (n=89; 62.68%). Significant correlations were found
between knowledge (p<0.001), attitude (p=0.040), and practice (p=0.001) with
stroke survivors’ quality of life.
Conclusion: This study indicates significant correlations between knowledge,
attitudes, and practices related to home rehabilitation and stroke survivors’ quality
of life. These findings provide valuable insights for nurses, emphasizing the
importance of structured health education on home-based rehabilitation to enhance
stroke survivors’ quality of life.
