Analysis of related factors related to the quality of life of post-stroke patients at Royal Prima Hospital Medan

Stroke is a severe global health problem and is ranked the third leading cause of death after heart disease and cancer. According to WHO data, about 15 million people have a stroke each year, with more than 5 million suffering from permanent disability. In Indonesia, the prevalence of stroke increases with the increase in risk factors such as hypertension and unhealthy lifestyles. This study aims to analyze the factors that affect the quality of life of post-stroke patients at Royal Prima Hospital Medan. The method used is non-experimental quantitative research with a descriptive approach and associative analysis. The study was conducted at the Royal Prima Hospital Medan, a population of patients undergoing post-stroke rehabilitation in the last three months. A sample of 60 patients was taken using the Slovin formula, and data analysis was carried out univariate, bivariate using the Chi-Square test, and multivariate with logistic regression analysis. The results of the study showed a significant relationship between age factors (p-value = 0.002), gender (p-value = 0.001), psychological condition (p-value = 0.002), physical condition (p-value = 0.004), and family support (p-value = 0.000) on the quality of life of patients. Family support was the most significant factor, with an odds ratio (OR) of 11,686, indicating that patients who received family support were likelier to achieve a good quality of life. These findings are expected to provide insights into designing more effective rehabilitation programs and raise awareness about the importance of support for post-stroke patients.
