“…Stroke is a significant global health concern, ranking as the secondleading cause of death and the third-leading cause of disability worldwide (Bangad et al, 2023;Markus, 2023). In recent years, there has been a concerning upward trend in stroke statistics: the global stroke incidence has surged by 70%, prevalence by 85%, and mortality by 43% (Owolabi et al, 2022).…”

AimsTo identify factors associated with health behaviours among stroke survivors, through a multi‐centre study.DesignA sequential mixed methods design.MethodsIn the quantitative research phase, a total of 350 participants were recruited through multi‐stage sampling from December 2022 to June 2023. General information questionnaires, The Stroke Prevention Knowledge Questionnaire (SPKQ), Short Form Health Belief Model Scale (SF‐HBMS), Health Promoting Lifestyle Profile (HPLPII), and the WHOQOL‐BREF (World Health Organization Quality of Life Questionnaire, Brief Version) were distributed across five tertiary hospitals in Henan province, China. For the qualitative research component, semi‐structured interviews were conducted to explore the barriers and facilitators of health behaviour. This study adheres to the GRAMMS guidelines.ResultsA total of 315 participants (90.0%) completed the survey. Identified barriers to health behaviour included residing in rural areas, higher scores on the Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI) and mRS, as well as lower scores on SPKQ, SF‐HBMS and WHOQOL‐BREF. Twenty‐four individuals participated in qualitative interviews. Twenty‐eight themes were identified and categorised by frequency, covering areas such as knowledge, skills, intentions, social influences, social/professional role and identity, environmental context and resources, beliefs about capabilities, beliefs about consequences and behavioural regulation. Both quantitative and qualitative data suggested that health behaviour among stroke survivors is at a moderate level, and the identified barrier factors can be mapped into the COM‐B model (Capability, Opportunity, Motivation and Behaviour).ConclusionThe study indicates that key barriers to health behaviour among stroke survivors align with the COM‐B model. These identified factors should be carefully considered in the planning of future systematic interventions aimed at improving health behaviours among stroke survivors.Patient or Public ContributionPatients were invited to completed questionnaires in the study and semi‐structured interviews. The investigators provided explanation of this study’ content, purpose and addressed issues during the data collection.
