Determinants of Health-Related Quality of Life in Taiwanese Middle-aged Women Stroke Survivors.

CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE: We found that female stroke survivors' level of stroke severity and negative appraisal-impact of stroke are significant predictors of the stroke survivor's quality of life. In addition to assisting women in their PF rehabilitation, rehabilitation nurses also should help to develop survivors' self-care confidence as a means to avoid the recurrence of stroke.
