The aims of this study were to investigate whether spouses' life satisfaction changed between their life prior to their partner's stroke, and at 4 months and 1 year after stroke, and to study the association between spouses' life satisfaction and objective characteristics of the stroke patients.
Sixty-seven consecutively enrolled spouses to first-ever stroke patients < 75 years of age participated. Life satisfaction was measured with the Life Satisfaction Checklist (LiSat-9).
Compared with their life before stroke, the spouses' satisfaction with life as a whole, their leisure situation, daily occupation, sexual life, partner relationship and social contacts was lower 4 months after stroke. No significant change in life satisfaction was observed between 4 months and 1 year. Spouses of patients with sensorimotor impairment and low ability in self-care were less satisfied with their leisure situation, daily occupations, own ability in self-care, sexual life and partner relationship. Spouses of patients with cognitive or astheno-emotional impairments were less satisfied with their partner relationship, family life and sexual life. The associations were stronger at 1 year than at 4 months.
There is a need for support over a long time period that focuses on the social, occupational and leisure situation of spouses as well as that of patients.
本研究旨在调查配偶的生活满意度在其伴侣中风前、中风后4个月和1年后是否发生变化，并研究配偶生活满意度与中风患者客观特征之间的关联。
67名年龄小于75岁的首次中风患者的配偶连续入组参与研究。采用生活满意度量表（LiSat-9）测量生活满意度。
与中风前相比，配偶在中风后4个月时对整体生活、休闲状况、日常职业、性生活、伴侣关系和社交的满意度较低。在4个月至1年期间，生活满意度无显著变化。有感觉运动障碍和自理能力低的患者的配偶对其休闲状况、日常职业、自身自理能力、性生活和伴侣关系的满意度较低。有认知或衰弱情绪障碍的患者的配偶对其伴侣关系、家庭生活和性生活的满意度较低。这些关联在1年时比4个月时更强。
需要长期提供支持，重点关注配偶以及患者的社会、职业和休闲状况。
