Six months poststroke is critical for optimizing stroke survivors' recovery and improving their health-related quality of life (HRQoL). Understanding HRQoL profiles in specific domains can provide a more typical plan for stroke survivors. This pilot study aimed to explore the HRQoL patterns among 39 stroke survivors within 6 months following diagnosis. The results revealed that there were four patterns based on HRQoL domains. Pattern 1: energy, family role, mobility, self-care, social role, and work/productivity domains likely to improve; Pattern 2: language and vision domains likely to improve and be stable; Pattern 3: thinking and upper extremity function domains likely to worsen and improve later; and Pattern 4: mood and personality domains likely to worsen and be constant. Health care providers can apply these results by continuing to assess and provide care to stroke survivors focusing on functional status, cognitive status, and depression over time. Further study should explore the factors predicting HRQoL.
中风后六个月对于优化中风幸存者的康复以及改善他们的健康相关生活质量（HRQoL）至关重要。了解特定领域的HRQoL概况可为中风幸存者提供更具针对性的计划。这项试点研究旨在探索39名中风幸存者在诊断后6个月内的HRQoL模式。结果显示，基于HRQoL领域存在四种模式。模式1：精力、家庭角色、活动能力、自我护理、社会角色以及工作/生产力领域可能改善；模式2：语言和视力领域可能改善并保持稳定；模式3：思维和上肢功能领域可能先恶化后改善；模式4：情绪和性格领域可能恶化并保持不变。医疗保健提供者可以通过持续评估并为中风幸存者提供关注其功能状态、认知状态和抑郁情况的长期护理来应用这些结果。进一步的研究应探索预测HRQoL的因素。
