“…Items are rated on a 5-point Likert scale from 1 to 5. Higher scores indicate better HRQoL (Yoon et al, 2020). The Cronbach's α was 0.73-0.98 at the time of development.…”

“…The Stroke-specific QoL scale is a well-known, standardised, disease-specific measure to assess HRQoL of stroke patients and has demonstrated reliability and validity in different types of stroke patients (Williams et al, 1999). The reliability and validity of this scale have been established in Korean stroke patients (Yoon et al, 2020). This scale includes a total of 12 items across two subfactors: physical and psychosocial dimensions.…”

Aims and objectives: This study aimed to establish and test a predictive model for explaining the health-related quality of life of young adult patients with stroke. Background: Individual characteristics, biological and physiological variables, social support, emotional and cognitive symptoms, physical function disability and general health perception may be interrelated and may directly or indirectly affect the healthrelated quality of life of young adult patients with stroke. Design: A cross-sectional study. Methods: 237 young outpatients with stroke were recruited and surveyed. Data collection used a structured questionnaire from July-November 2018. The collected data were analysed using SPSS version 25.0 ® and AMOS 23.0. This study is based on STROBE guidelines. Results: The hypothetical model's fit indices were adequate. Stroke severity, social support, fear of stroke recurrence, physical function disability and general health perceptions directly affected the health-related quality of life. Additionally, stroke severity, depression and fear of stroke recurrence also indirectly affected it. These variables explained 60.3% of the variance in this quality.Conclusions: Variables such as severity of stroke, depression, fear of stroke recurrence, social support, physical function disability and general health perception were found to be related to the HRQoL of young adult patients with stroke.Relevance to clinical practice: A variety of physical, psychological, functional and social factors related to health-related quality of life should be systematically monitored. Furthermore, nurses need to develop and apply detailed nursing interventions that take into account all these variables.

“…The QoL was measured using the shortened Stroke Specific Quality of Life (SS‐QoL) tool developed by Wong et al (2013). Yoon et al (2020) translated the SS‐QoL into Korean, and evaluated its reliability and validity. The SS‐QoL‐12K consists of 12 items and two subdomains: seven questions in the physical domain and five questions in the psychosocial domain.…”

“…The possible scores range from 10 to 50 points, and the higher the measured score, the higher the health‐related QoL. The Cronbach's alpha for the Korean version used in the study by Yoon et al (2020) was 0.93. In this study, Cronbach's alpha was 0.94, and the alphas for the subdomains were as follows: physical 0.88 and socio‐psychological 0.92, respectively.…”

This study explored the impact of intrapersonal (stroke severity, physical dysfunction, and fear of stroke recurrence), interpersonal (loneliness), and extrapersonal (economic status) stressors on the quality of life of people with stroke. A correlational crosssectional research design was employed. This study was based on Betty Neuman's systems theory. One hundred thirty-nine people with stroke were recruited from 10 hospitals in South Korea. Data were collected from January to February 2020 using a structured questionnaire. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, independent t-test, one-way analysis of variance, Scheffé test, Pearson's correlation coefficients, Spearman's correlation coefficients, and hierarchical multiple regression analysis. Stroke severity had the strongest association with quality of life among people with stroke, followed by loneliness and fear of stroke recurrence. These variables accounted for approximately 77% of the variance in the quality of life. Stroke severity, loneliness, and fear of stroke recurrence should be systematically monitored to enhance the quality of life in people with stroke. Additionally, a detailed intervention that considers all these stressors must be developed, and its effectiveness must be verified through further research.

“…Compared to the commonly used Short Form 12-item Health Survey 11 , the SSQOL-12 focuses on stroke-speci c domains such as language, cognition, and vision. Previous studies [12][13][14] have found satisfactory measurement properties for the SSQOL-12 in terms of reliability, criterion validity, and convergent validity.…”

The present study examined the psychometric properties of the 12-item Stroke-Specific Quality of Life Scale (SSQOL-12) as a measure of quality of life specific to stroke in 184 stroke survivors in Hong Kong. The participants also completed a questionnaire on short form health survey (SF-12) and validating variables at baseline and 148 of them completed SSQOL-12 two months later. Confirmatory factor analysis was performed to investigate the construct validity, reliability, and longitudinal invariance of SSQOL-12 across two months. Convergent and discriminant validity was examined with respect to hope, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, and SF-12. The original 2-factor model did not reveal a superior fit and a modified 1-factor model with 4 residual covariances provided an acceptable fit to data in both waves. The SSQOL-12 factor displayed substantial factor loadings (λ = 0.40–0.87), good reliability (Ω = 0.88), temporal stability (r = 0.70), and scalar measurement invariance across time. Stroke-specific quality of life was significantly associated with ischemic stroke, lower functional disability, anxiety, and depression and higher levels of hope of self-esteem. Most of the associations remained significant after controlling for SF-12. These findings provided support for validity and reliability of the unidimensional structure for SSQOL-12 among stroke survivors.
