Abstrakt:	Abstract: Stroke is the major leading cause of death and severe long-term disability worldwide. The consequences of stroke, aside from diminished survival, have a significant impact on an individual's capability in maintaining self-autonomy and life satisfaction (LS). Thus, this study aimed to assess LS and other specific domains of LS in stroke survivors following their first-ever stroke, and to describe the relationship using socio-demographic and stroke-related variables.This study recruited 376 stroke survivors (244 men and 132 women, mean age: 57 years) 1 year following stroke. Data on participants' LS (measured using the Life Satisfaction Questionnaire [LiSat-11]), socio-demographics, and stroke-related variables were collected.Univariate analysis showed that LS and the 10 specific domains were not associated with the patients' gender or stroke type; however, age at onset, marital status, and vocational situation were significantly associated with some domains in LiSat-11 (Spearman's rho = 0.42-0.87; all P < 0.05). Logistic regression revealed that verbal and cognitive dysfunction were the most negative predictors of LS (odds ratio 4.1 and 3.7, respectively).LS is negatively affected in stroke survivors 1 year post onset. The results indicate that recovering social engagement is a positive predictor of higher LS in stroke survivors. More importantly, the findings revealed that cognitive and verbal dysfunctions were the most prominent negative predictors of the overall gross level of LS. Multidisciplinary rehabilitation for stroke survivors is therefore critical. Competing Interests: The authors declare no conflict of interest. (Copyright © 2021 the Author(s).
