Abstract
Background
Almost all health professionals refer and use the term participation restrictions in activities of daily living as one of the successful outcomes of stroke rehabilitation. Higher occurrences of stroke-related functional disability among women who suffer stroke tend to affect their quality of life, participation in, and reintegration into the community in general. Hence, the aim of this study is to investigate the correlation of participation restrictions and quality of life of Hausa women post-stroke event.
Method
This study employed a cross-sectional design; 67 post-stroke patients were recruited and assessed for participation using Stoke Impact Scale (SIS 3.0), quality of life was assessed using SSQOL, and MRS was used to assess post-stroke disabilities.
Results
Findings of this study indicate participation to be significantly related to quality of life (r = 0.801, P = 0.000). Participation was significantly related to limb strength (r = 0.606, P = 0.000), mood and emotions (r = 0.399, P = 0.001), ADL (r = 0.733, P = 0.000), mobility (r = 0.564, P = 0.000), and hand function (r = 0.687, P = 0.000). Recovery from stroke was found to be a determinant of participation (r = 0.624, P = 0.000).
Conclusion
Correlates of participation in Hausa women who suffered stroke are quality of life, strength, mood and emotions, ADL, mobility, hand function, and level of recovery from stroke. Both participation and quality of life also inversely correlated significantly with demographic factors of age and stroke severity.
