| description | Introduction. Stroke is a disease that ranks highest in terms of mortality worldwide. It is a chronic condition that affects functioning and social roles. Advanced diagnostic capabilities, appropriate care, and systematic and early rehabilitation significantly reduce mortality. The quality of life of stroke survivors changes as a result.
Aim. The aim of the study was to assess the acceptance and satisfaction of patients after an ischemic stroke.
Material and Methods. The study was conducted between September 2019 and December 2019 among 91 patients from the Outpatient Clinic of the Independent Municipal Health Care Facility in Zembrzyce, the Independent Public Health Care Facility in Mucharz, and patients hospitalized in the Beskid Rehabilitation and Medical Center in Jaworzno in the Neurological Rehabilitation Subunit. Two questionnaires were used for the study: the Acceptance of Illness Scale (AIS) and the Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS).
Results. In terms of life satisfaction, 56% of the participants had low levels of satisfaction, while only 25% reported high satisfaction. The average acceptance of illness score among patients aged 40–60 was 24.2, indicating a good level of acceptance. The average score for satisfaction with life was 17.19, reflecting low levels of satisfaction.
Conclusions. Higher levels of acceptance of illness were associated with increased satisfaction with life. Acceptance of illness significantly influenced life satisfaction. Chronic conditions such as stroke make acceptance of illness more challenging. (JNNN 2023;12(3):103–111) |
