To determine the quality of life of stroke survivors and their caregivers presenting to a tertiary care setup.
The descriptive study was conducted from July to December 2019 at the Neurology Department, Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences, Islamabad, Pakistan, and comprised patients of either gender with ischaemic or haemorrhagic stroke aged 40-70 years and their caregivers. Data was collected using the stroke-specific quality of life Scale and the caregiver quality of life questionnaire. Data was analysed using SPSS 20.
Of the 80 patients, 50(62.5%) were males and 30(37.5%) were females. The overall mean age was 61.46±11.80 years, and 56(70%) were aged >55 years. Among the patients, speaking power, mobility and mood were more affected with mean levels of 15.51±8.63, 22.63±8.33 and 19.08±7.05, respectively. The domains of social role, self-care and upper extremity function were also affected with mean values of 19.022±7.06, 15.71±8.81 and 18.88±7.02, respectively. Among the caregivers, the levels of physical wellbeing and functional wellbeing were high 15.07±5.65 and 15.35±5.76, respectively. There were differences in terms of age and gender but the difference was not significant (p>0.05).
The quality of life of stroke survivors was low, and that of caregivers was also quite compromised.
确定在三级医疗环境中就诊的中风幸存者及其照顾者的生活质量。
2019年7月至12月在巴基斯坦伊斯兰堡巴基斯坦医学科学研究所神经科进行了描述性研究，纳入年龄在40 - 70岁之间的缺血性或出血性中风患者（不限性别）及其照顾者。使用特定于中风的生活质量量表和照顾者生活质量问卷收集数据。使用SPSS 20进行数据分析。
80例患者中，男性50例（62.5%），女性30例（37.5%）。总体平均年龄为61.46±11.80岁，56例（70%）年龄>55岁。在患者中，语言能力、活动能力和情绪受影响更大，平均水平分别为15.51±8.63、22.63±8.33和19.08±7.05。社会角色、自我照顾和上肢功能领域也受到影响，平均值分别为19.022±7.06、15.71±8.81和18.88±7.02。在照顾者中，身体健康和功能健康水平较高，分别为15.07±5.65和15.35±5.76。在年龄和性别方面存在差异，但差异不显著（p>0.05）。
