“…Based on the present study, the mean cognitive problems had a significant relationship with the level of satisfaction with services and overall satisfaction (P=0.032 and P=0.026 respectively), which was consistent with Baumann's studies [17] and Kariyawasam [18]. According to Baumann's study, cognitive-functional problems, like memory problems and sensory problems, showed a significant and direct relationship with low levels of quality of life.…”

“…According to the results, various quality of life domains were strongly related to dissatisfaction with the help received and coordination between services [17]. Based on the results of Kariyawasam's study, the quality of life of stroke patients had a significant relationship with the level of cognitive problems like speech problems [18].…”

Background and Objectives: Stroke is a life-threatening disease that can lead to walking disorders. The orthosis that is generally prescribed for the patients in this situation is ankle-foot orthosis (AFO). For orthotic treatment to be effective, it is important to evaluate the quality of treatment, and one of the most important indicators is the level of patient satisfaction. The present study was conducted to evaluate the level of satisfaction and the factors affecting it in stroke patients who used AFOs made by Orthosis and Prosthesis (O&P) Centers in Tehran. Methods: The present study was a descriptive-analytical study conducted on 64 stroke patients who were referred to O&P centers and had used AFO in Tehran City, Iran, in 2021. The data were collected through an interview. The level of satisfaction of stroke patients was examined through an opus questionnaire. Results: The mean±SD overall satisfaction, satisfaction with services, and satisfaction with the device in patients were 69.3±10.7, 36.7±6.7, and 32.6±6.6, respectively. The results revealed a significant relationship between the number of hours of daily use and satisfaction with the device, service, and overall satisfaction (P=0.038, P=0.041, and P=0.009, respectively). Also, there was a significant relationship between cognitive problems in patients and the level of satisfaction with services and overall satisfaction (P=0.032 and P=0.026, respectively). Conclusion: Considering the results of this study, it can be stated that the duration of daily use of the orthosis and the presence of cognitive problems can significantly change stroke patients’ satisfaction with AFO orthosis usage.

“…This was contradicted with results that were found in a study conducted by Butsing et al (2022), which revealed that the patients after an ischemic stroke showed a significantly higher overall QOL compared to patients after a hemorrhagic stroke. Moreover, Kariyawasam et al (2020) pointed out in their study that aims at identifying the factors associated with QOL of Notes: SS-QOL: stroke-specific quality of life, SD: standard deviation. Ã p-value is significant at < 0.05 stroke survivors in lower-middle-income countries; that the lowest degree of QOL was associated with patients who had a hemorrhagic stroke.…”

Purpose This study aims to assess the quality of life (QOL) and the related factors in patients post-stroke in Jordan. Design/methodology/approach Prospective, the cross-sectional study recruited 100 participants with stroke from three public hospitals from December 1, 2021 to February 1, 2022. Patients with stroke were interviewed to fill the stroke-specific quality of life questionnaire. Findings Forty-five per cent of the participants were male. More than half of the participants (53%) were married, and the average age of the participants was 63.6 (SD =3.8). Most of the participants had an ischemic stroke (86%) with an affected left side (65%). The overall QOL of the participants was leveling at (M = 123.5, SD = 45.2), which is a moderate level. It was found statistical significance differences among participants according to gender, type of stroke, affected side and presence of comorbidities (Table 1). Research limitations/implications There were some limitations in this study. First, this study was based on mild to moderate Jordanian stroke survivors and did not include critically ill stroke survivors; the QOL critically ill stroke survivors may differ, which could affect the generalizability of data among all stroke survivors. Second, this study is prospective, and this type of study is prone to bias that could influence the reliability of the results. It is recommended to conduct a mixed-method study to reveal an in-depth understanding of the associated factors with QOL, to ensure reliability and to reflect a better view of the Jordanian population. Practical implications To sum up, there is a reduction in the level of QOL among stroke survivors; hence, it is crucial to focus on detecting factors contributing to reducing the QOL and taking individual differences between sexes, type and location of the stroke, and comorbidities into consideration to develop a treatment plan that enhances the QOL and well-being for survivors of stroke. Social implications Taking individual differences between sexes, type and location of the stroke and comorbidities into consideration to develop a treatment plan that enhances the QOL and well-being of survivors of stroke. Originality/value The findings of this study bring a strong insight toward assessing the main factors indicating a decrease QOL among stroke survivors.

“…The effect of high blood pressure and other risk factors on stroke survivors have been reported by previous studies. [36,37] The present study has some clinical significance. Beta-inflated-regression-at-one model percentages are better, allowing a more straightforward and intuitive transformation of discrete data usually generated among stroke survivors.…”

Background: Stroke is one of the major public health problems worldwide. Physical and mental health data of stroke survivors are often expressed in proportions. Therefore, the Beta Regression models family for data between zero and one will be appropriate. Objectives: To identify a suitable model and the likely risk factors of physical and mental health of stroke survivors. Method: Secondary data of stroke survivors from two tertiary health Institutions in Ogun State, Nigeria, were analysed. Inflated Beta (BEINF) and Inflated-at-one-Beta (BEINF1) models were compared using Deviance (DEV), Akaike Information Criterion (AIC) and Bayesian Information Criteria (BIC) for model selection. The model with minimum DEV, AIC and BIC was considered to be better. Results: The deviance (-86.0604,), AIC (-46.0604) and BIC (6.4391) values of the BEINF1 model for physical health and the deviance (-20.1217), AIC (19.8783) and BIC (72.3778) values of BEINF1 model for mental health were smaller than BEINF models. Therefore, BEINF1 was the better model to identify the health risk factors of stroke survivors. Age, marital status, diastolic blood pressure, disability duration and systolic blood pressure had a significant association with physical health, while BMI had a significant positive association with mental health. Conclusion: The beta-inflated-at-one (BEINF1) model is suitable for identifying health risk factors of stroke survivors when the outcome variable is a proportion. Both demographic and clinical characteristics were significantly associated with the health of stroke survivors. This study would assist researchers in knowing the appropriate model for analysing proportion or percentage response variables.
