Factors associated with post-stroke fatigue among stroke survivors: a cross-sectional study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Post-stroke fatigue (PSF) is a common complication experienced by stroke survivors. These individuals often confront psychological challenges such as depression and anxiety, along with significant obstacles like reduced quality of life (QoL) and limitations in activities of daily living (ADLs). Such challenges can profoundly affect their overall recovery and well-being. Despite its prevalence, the associated factors contributing to PSF remain poorly understood. This study aims to primarily investigate these associated factors, while also examining the interrelationships among PSF, depression level, QoL, and ADLs, highlighting the need for a better understanding of these complex interactions.

Methods

This cross-sectional study involved 271 stroke survivors and was
