Abstract

Background: The EQ-5D-5L measures a profile of health conditions based on reports from patients, which consists of 5 dimensions, namely mobility, self-care, usual activity, pain/discomfort, and depression/anxiety as well as a visual analog scale (EQ-VAS) and has been developed by EuroQoL Group to improve sensitivity and psychometric properties.

Aim: This study aimed to analyze the relationship between stroke patients’ quality of life and sociodemographic factors at the Tlogosari Kulon Health Center. A total of 44 ischemic stroke patients were included in this study.

Methods: The study was conducted over one month, starting October 5–29, 2022. The patient’s quality of life was examined using the EQ-5D-5L questionnaire. Statistical analyses were performed using the Mann-Whitney U test and the Kruskal-Wallis test.

Results: The characteristics of the research subjects showed that most of the patients in this study were women (77.3%), aged 56–65 years (43.2%), marital status (93.2%), high school education and above (54.5%)), and not working (63.6%). The results showed that age and occupation significantly affected utility scores (p < 0.05), whereas gender, marital status, and education did not. The results of the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) test stated that patient characteristics did not affect the VAS value (p > 0.05).

Conclusion: The results of this study can be used in determining health policy, health insurance, and pharmacoeconomic data sources.
