Abstract

This study tested a theoretical model of quality of life of stroke survivors derived from King's conceptual framework for nursing. The model proposed that stroke survivors' perceptual integrity (cognition), social support, and perception of level of disability would predict their quality of life. In addition, the relative contribution of age, time since stroke, and number of strokes to the stroke survivor's quality of life was investigated.
