“A Hospital based Cross-Sectional Study to Assess the Functional Independence and Quality of Life and Determinants among Stroke Survivals at Selected Neuro Centers of Bagalkot’’

Abstract

Background :- Functional independence and Quality of life are commonly problem among stroke patients, which usually impede in proper management of neurological center and also can create serious brain issues if not treated properly.

Method: - The Descriptive study design was adopted for the present study. The sample for the present study includes 50 stroke patients from neurological unit at selected Hospitals of Bagalkot. Qualitative research approach was used, descriptive design was used, data was collected from at selected neuro centre study includes 50 subjects, by using convenient sample technique data was collected. Structured quality of life and functional independence tool was used to collect the data. Data was analyzed using descriptive  Statistics.

Result :- The Result Shows that neurological patient have 58% of mild to moderate level functional of independence and 60% having moderate level of quality of life. There is a statistically weak negative co-relation between functional of independence and quality of life among stroke patients. Indicating that there is a negative co-relation between functional of independence and quality of life among stroke patients.

Conclusion: The Result Shows that neurological patient have 58% of mild to moderate level functional of independence and 60% having moderate level of quality of life. There is a statistically weak negative co-relation between functional of independence and quality of life among stroke patients. Indicating that there is a negative co-relation between functional of independence and quality of life among stroke patients.
