Abstract
Purpose: The prevalence rate of stroke is increasing due to the rise in the aging population. The stroke sequela, including physical and mental disabilities, remain even though patients are alive, and these circumstances are causing major problems, both socially and economically. This correlation study aimed to identify uncertainty, depression, and quality of life among stroke patients. Methods: Participants included 94 outpatients who were diagnosed with stroke and discharged from a tertiary hospital in S city. Between September and October 2014, a survey on uncertainty, depression, and quality of life was conducted. Data collected were analyzed using SPSS 22.0. Results: The average scores of uncertainty, depression, and quality of life were 48.36 out of 80, 41.90 out of 80, and 175.94 out of 245, respectively. The uncertainties exhibited a positive correlation with depression and a negative correlation with quality of life. The correlation between depression and quality of life was found to be negative. Conclusion: To enhance the quality of life of stroke patients, interventions to reduce uncertainty and depression as well as improve physical care to reduce difficulties in daily living should be implemented.
