Effect of Hemineglect on the Quality of Life of Stroke Patients - A Cross-sectional Study
Introduction: Spatial neglect is an important disabling disorder post-stroke and occurs more frequently after lesions in the right hemisphere, particularly in the parietal lobe. Spatial neglect prolongs stroke survivors’ recovery to independence. This study aims to identify the effect of hemineglect...

| description | Introduction:
Spatial neglect is an important disabling disorder post-stroke and occurs more frequently after lesions in the right hemisphere, particularly in the parietal lobe. Spatial neglect prolongs stroke survivors’ recovery to independence. This study aims to identify the effect of hemineglect on the quality of life of stroke patients.
Objective:
To evaluate the effect of hemineglect on the quality of life of patients in the chronic phase of stroke.
Materials and Methods:
This is a cross-sectional study of stroke patients with hemineglect. After confirming the presence of stroke through neuroimaging examinations and of hemineglect through the Catherine Bergego Scale, patients’ quality of life was evaluated using the Stroke-Specific Quality of Life Scale (SS-QOL). Spearman’s correlation was used to validate the correlation between the patient’s hemineglect and quality of life, with P < 0.05 representing significant results.
Results:
Thirty individuals were included in this study. When correlating the value of each domain of SS-QOL with the results of the Catherine Bergego Scale, a negative correlation was observed.
Conclusion:
The higher the hemineglect degree, the worse the quality of life is in post-stroke patients. |
