Abstract

Background and objectives: The neurological dysfunction caused by cerebrovascular accident (CVA), could compromise the persons physical and/or psychosocial health related quality of life (HRQoL). The study aimed to assess physical and psychosocial of health-related quality of life (HRQoL) domains in patients with post-cerebrovascular accidents. In addition, the role of socio-demographic aspects such as age, gender, educational status, patients' caregivers and residential area on domains of HRQoL was explored in this study.

Patients and Methods: The study design was a cross-sectional descriptive design conducted to assess post-cerebrovascular accident patient's HRQoL domains. A nonprobability convenience sample of 185 CVA patients was selected according to the criteria of the study. The data were taken from the participants by direct individualized interview therefore the Stroke Specific Quality of Life (SS-QOL) scale assigned to the study. The period of data collection lasted from 4^th of November 2018 to 6^th of April 2019 on patients attends the physiotherapy and rehabilitation department in rheumatic disease and medical rehabilitation center.

Results: The study revealed that the patients between age 55-64 groups were females and housewives. They were from primary school graduation and less. As well, most of the patients with moderate HRQoL reside in urban areas and their caregivers were the patients’ spouse. Furthermore, the association between independents variables such as age, gender, educational status and patient caregivers with physical and psychosocial HRQoL affected significantly at p-value ≤ 0.05.

Conclusion: The physical and psychosocial HRQoL domains had significant association with independents studied variables of the CVA patient. The residential area of the sample did not adversely affect the physical HRQoL domain at p-value > 0.05.
