Factors Related to Health-Related Quality of Life Among Young Adults with Stroke
Keywords:
Health-related quality of life, Stroke in the young, Related factorsAbstract
The occurrence of stroke in young adults is increasing globally, leading to greater mortality, morbidity, and a higher risk of recurrence. The purpose of this descriptive correlation study was to investigate health-related quality of life and to study the relationships among factors related to health-related quality of life in young adults with stroke, including body mass index, stroke severity, fatigue, depression, and disability. One hundred and fifty young adults with stroke who met the inclusion criteria were recruited from three hospitals in Bangkok. Research instruments consisted of demographic information, the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale, the Fatigue Severity Scale, the Center for Epidemiologic Studies-Depression Scale, the Modified Rankin Scale, and the Stroke-Specific Quality of Life Scale. The questionnaires demonstrated acceptable content validity (content validity index: .93-1.00), internal consistency (Cronbach’s alpha: .84-.98), and inter-rater agreement (Kappa coefficient: .90). Data were analyzed using Pearson’s product moment correction, Spearman’s rank correlation, and Point biserial correlation.
The results revealed that young adults with stroke had good health-related quality of life (Mean = 210.96, SD = 32.85). Stroke severity, depression, fatigue, disability, and body mass index were significantly negatively correlated with health-related quality of life (r = -.77, -.71, -.66, -.60, and -.56 respectively; p.< .05).
This finding can be used as basic information for health care personnel to promote health-related quality of life in young adults with stroke.
