A major burden falls on stroke survivors because of the resulting persistent impairment. Stroke-related disability has a profound effect on VII the patient because it not only leaves them physically disabled but also severely impairs their social lives. OBJECTIVE: Purpose of this study was to assess quality of life and its predictors among adult post-stroke patients admitted to the cardiac unit at selected public hospitals, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. METHODS: Institution-based cross-sectional study design was employed in selected public hospitals, Addis Ababa Ethiopia, 2024. By using a single population proportion formula, a total of 293 adult post-stroke patients who were admitted and had a follow-up at these hospitals during the data collection period and volunteer to participate in the study adult stroke patients were involved in the study. The study was conducted from February 19, 2024 to March 19, 2024. Simple random sampling method was used to select the study participant. RESULTS: - The results indicate that 65.5% of patients were male. Among the patients, 84.6% had a family history of stroke. Participants aged 60 years and above had significantly low PCS scores compared to the 18–29 years age group in which a slight enhancement of physical health perception in the younger age category. Widows are significant for PCS scores than singles, reflecting a potentially lower physical function or coping mechanism in this group. CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS: - Post-stroke individuals in the present research recorded a relatively good quality of life (QoL) scores. As per the findings, this study concludes that age, marital status, BMI, family history of stroke, and stroke duration significantly influence the physical and mental health-related quality of life (HRQoL) of stroke survivors in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. | |
