- Abstract
Stroke is a chronic and important health problem affecting all aspects of an individual's life. Neurological impairment resulting from stroke leads to functional disability in patients. The hemiplegia on the quality of life and the correlation between disability indices and the quality of life. Sixty-eight patients followed by the Stroke Policlinic of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Department were included in the study. Functional status was evaluated with Brunnstrom Assessment, Functional Independence Measurement (FIM)and Rivermaed Mobility Index (RMI). Nothingham Health Profile (NHP) was used for the evaluation of quality of life. We did not determine any statistically significant difference in the subdivisions of quality of life between male and female patients and right or left hemiplegia patients. We also found that there was no correlation between the duration of stroke and subdivisions of quality of life whereas there was a positive correlation between age and only sleep subdivision of quality of life. A significant negative correlation was observed between Functional Independence Measurement and following subdivisions of Nothingham Health Profile: physical mobility (r= -0.609, p=0.000), social isolation (r= -0.403, p=0.009) and emotional reaction (r= -0.330, p=0.035). There was also a significant negative correlation between Rivermaed Mobility Index and such subdivisions of Nothingham Health Profile as physical mobility (r= -0.509, p=0.001), energy(r=-0.365, p=0.019), and social isolation (r=-0.319, p=0.042) As a result, disability ruins the quality of life in stroke patients. Improving the functional independence of these patients will affect their quality of life positively.
