Stroke recovery, especially during the rehabilitation phase, involves complex physical and psychological challenges that affect patients’ quality of life (QoL). A recent study co-led by researchers from Universitas Padjadjaran’s Faculty of Nursing, led by Valentina Belinda M Lumbantobing investigated the critical factors shaping QoL among middle-aged stroke survivors under 65 years old.
Published in the Journal of Multidisciplinary Healthcare (2025), the study applied multivariate regression analysis on 76 stroke patients, identifying that social support, sleep quality, self-esteem, psychological well-being, spirituality, and resilience (hardiness) significantly influence all domains of QoL. Notably, physical well-being was strongly affected by sleep, spirituality, and psychological health, while social support and self-esteem played crucial roles in social and environmental QoL aspects.
These findings highlight the essential roles of nurses, caregivers, and families in fostering supportive environments and holistic care approaches that address psychological and spiritual needs alongside physical rehabilitation.
This research supports Sustainable Development Goal 3 (Good Health and Well-being) by advancing evidence-based strategies to enhance rehabilitation outcomes and overall life quality for stroke survivors.
