Patient satisfaction with hospital-based outpatient rehabilitation after stroke in Sweden and its association with life satisfaction and health-related quality of life: a longitudinal national register study.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To examine stroke survivors' satisfaction with hospital-based outpatient rehabilitation and its association with life satisfaction and health-related quality of life (HRQoL), and whether sex and age affect possible associations.  Design: A longitudinal national register study.  Methods: Data from the Swedish national quality register were used and included 1,068 patients with stroke performing outpatient rehabilitation. Self-reported questionnaires collected on admission, discharge, and at 1-year follow-up were analysed. Regression analyses were used to assess possible associations between patient satisfaction and life satisfaction (Life Satisfaction Questionnaire, LiSat-11) and HRQoL (EuroQol Five Dimensions questionnaire, EQ-5D).
