THUMS, Luana  and  RODRIGUES, Jaqueline de Carvalho. Subjective Weil-Being, Quality of Life and Psychological Symptoms in Adults after Stroke. Rev. Psicol. Saúde [online]. 2022, vol.14, n.4, pp.85-98.  Epub July 08, 2024. ISSN 2177-093X.  https://doi.org/10.20435/pssa.v14i4.2045.

We investigated the perception of subjective well-being (BES), quality of life (QV), and psychological symptoms of individuals who were or were not in rehabilitation post-stroke. Fifteen adults participated (M = 40.73; SD = 9.46 years), who responded to the Brazilian Subjective Weil-Being Scale (EBES), Stroke-Specific Quality of Life Scale (EQVE-AVE), and Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale. From the survey, we found that the sample had low and moderate levels of BES and QV. Participants who remained in rehabilitation after stroke demonstrated higher levels of positive affect, lower negative affect, and symptoms of stress. Higher psychological symptoms were related to lower levels of BES and QV. This study highlights the importance of post-stroke rehabilitation, focusing on the needs of each individual. Multiprofessional care services should consider how emotional aspects and subjective experiences affect patients’ recovery.

Keywords : subjective well-being; quality of life; stroke; rehabilitation.
