| Abstract | This study explored the quality of life (QoL) and predictive factors in patients three months after stroke by utilizing the Short Form Stroke-Specific Quality of Life Scale (SS-QoL-12) to assess quality of life. Data analysis was performed using Fisher’s Exact Test to identify associated factors for poor QoL and Forward Conditional Binary Logistic Regression for predicting factors for poor QoL.The study included 101 participants with an average age of 64.06 ± 11.11 years, of whom 55.4% were female. Additionally, 68.3% were older adults aged over 60 years. The majority of participants (94.1%) had a good QoL. However, factors predicting moderate to poor QoL included taking more than 10 medications per day (OR = 53.949; 95% CI = 1.125 – 2587.096) and having experienced more than one stroke episode (OR = 34.930; 95% CI = 2.938 - 415.241). This study indicates that recurrent strokes and the necessity of taking multiple medications are significant factors associated with poor QoL. Early identification and care for at-risk individuals could help improve their QoL and enhance the effectiveness of physical rehabilitation. |
