ABSTRACT

Introduction: Nowadays stroke is a public health problem with consequences that include physical, cognitive, and emotional difficulties that impact the patients’ quality of life in the short- and long-term.
Objective: To describe the quality of life of stroke patients from Ibague, Colombia, three months post-injury.
Methods: Forty patients with stroke and forty unaffected age-, education-, and gender-matched control participants were recruited. All participants completed a sociodemographic questionnaire, and The Short Form Health Survey (SF-36).
Results: Significant differences were found between healthy and stroke participants in all subscale of SF-36, with patients obtaining lower scores on Physical Functioning, Role-Physical, Bodily pain, General Health, Vitality, Social Functioning, Role-Emotional and Mental Health.
Conclusions: Patients with stroke presented poorer quality of life on all subscales of SF-36 three months post-injury compared with healthy controls. This finding underscores the importance of implementing treatment and support programs during the initial three months post-stroke in order to facilitate social, family, and labor reintegration of affected individuals.
