“…The least impaired ones were sight (4.3) and language (3.8) − SS-QOL dimensions among the most and least impaired domains, which is consistent with results observed in literature. (4,6,19,24) Strokes and their sequelae harm or prevent people from fully resuming their work and social activities, justifying the damage to the social relations domain. After the occurrence of this illness, people often find themselves in situations of incapacity and dependence and in need of a caretaker, who is usually a family member.…”

“…Similarly, other research found mobility and speech sequelae among the most common ones. (4,6,19) As far as health-related quality of life is concerned, the total score obtained in the SS-QOL had a mean of 146.84 (±36.3). A German study established scores below 60% (<147 points) as low quality of life, the same criterion adopted in this study.…”

Objective: To assess health-related quality of life after stroke and associate this event with the characteristics of people who suffered a stroke. Methods: Cross-sectional study conducted at a rehabilitation center for stroke survivors with 104 patients. The Mini-mental state examination (MMSE); an instrument for collection of sociodemographic, economic, clinical, and family related information; and the Stroke Specific Quality of Life Scale were applied. Results: Of the 104 people investigated, 77 did not have cognitive deficit and answered the instruments. Their mean at the MMSE was 24.9 (±4.3). 51.9% were men and their mean age was 57.3 (±17.2) years. Most of them were married (48.1%) and had eight or more years of schooling (50.7%). Their health-related quality of life was affected (146.8±36.3), mainly in the social and family relations domains. Conclusion: An impairment in the health-related quality of life and negative consequences of the stroke were observed, together with dyslipidemia, left-side hemiplegia, and speech difficulty.

“…No obstante, otros estudios encuentran que la solvencia económica sí que influye en la CV de los pacientes (Kwok, Pan, Lo, & Song, 2011). En un estudio reciente (Chou, 2015), además de estos factores, se incluyeron aspectos cognitivos y psicosociales como posibles predictores de CV. Estos autores observaron que los años de educación y de vida laboral, así como el estado civil, se relacionaban con algunos factores de CV.…”

“…En el trabajo de Chou anteriormente mencionado (Chou, 2015) en el que, además de los factores sociodemográficos referidos, se incluyeron aspectos cognitivos y psicosociales como posibles predictores de CV, los autores encontraron que la participación social auto-informada, la capacidad de comunicación y la limitación de la actividad resultaron ser fuertes determinantes de CV, así como el nivel de dependencia física para el desempeño de las actividades de la vida diaria. En cuanto a las características clínicas, las que más se relacionaban con CV fueron el número de ictus y si habían recibido tratamiento rehabilitador.…”

AGRADECIMIENTOSSiempre que he tenido la oportunidad de leer una tesis me he detenido unos segundos en los agradecimientos que el autor hacía. Casi siempre se trataba de un texto más o menos corto donde había muchos sentimientos que hacían que me emocionara. Ahora, aunque pensaba que nunca iba a llegar este momento, me toca a mí escribir estas líneas.Muchas son las personas que me han acompañado en este proceso y muchos de los que aquí hago referencia saben en qué situación me he encontrado en el último tiempo. Gracias a ellos y a mi esfuerzo y tozudez por sacar esto adelante, las frustraciones y miedos que han aparecido en estos últimos meses se han convertido en mi mayor logro conseguido.Contenta y satisfecha me dispongo, ahora sí, a agradecer a todos aquellos
