Objective: To assess health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in stroke patients by StrokeImpact Scale (SIS) 3.0 and to identify the factors related with HRQoL. Material and Methods: Sixtysix stroke patients who experienced a stroke at least 1 month earlier were included to the study.HRQoL was assessed using SIS 3.0 which is a specific scale to the stroke. The patients were evaluatedby Mini Mental State Evaluation (MMSE), Brunnstrom Motor Evaluation Scale (BMES), ModifiyeAshworth Scale (MAS), Functional Indipendence Measure (FIM), and Beck DepressionInventory (BDI). Results: The SIS 3.0 total scores were correlated with FIM, BMES, and MMSEpositively; and with BDI negatively. The FIM and BDI were detected to be the apparent independentrisk factors affecting variations in SIS 3.0 total score. The mean total SIS 3.0 scores waslower in group with ≥55 years old, moderate disability, and mild depression. But there was no significantdifference between female and male patients in terms of total SIS 3.0 score (p>0.05).Conclusion: The results indicated that depression and disability were consistent determinants ofHRQoL assessed by SIS 3.0 in stroke patients. Also, decreased motor function and impaired cognitivestatus were closely associated with poor HRQoL in patients with stroke.
