ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVES:
Few studies have investigated the association between social capital and quality of life (QoL) among stroke patients. To address this research gap, we aimed to explore the association between social capital and QoL among stroke patients in Anhui Province, China. STUDYDESIGN:
Cross-sectional study.METHODS:
This cross-sectional study was conducted using a multi-stage stratified random sampling method. The following data including demographic characteristics, health-related conditions, five dimensions of social capital status, and quality of life (QoL) were collected using a questionnaire. Generalized linear models were then used to determine the relationship between social capital and QoL after adjusting for confounding factors.RESULTS:
A total of 390 participants were included for the final analysis in this study. Our results indicated that subjects with higher social capital including social connection (coefficient 28.28, 95% CI 19.39-37.16), social support (coefficient 21.17, 95% CI 10.63-31.71), trust (coefficient 13.46, 95% CI 2.73-24.19), reciprocity (coefficient 25.56, 95% CI 15.97-35.15), and cohesion (coefficient 19.30, 95% CI 9.90-28.70) had increased odds of reporting poor QoL when compared with lower social capital group. We also observed that the association between social capital and QoL varied across cities.CONCLUSIONS:
Our findings show that social capital is associated with QoL in adult stroke patients, suggesting that social capital may be significant for enhancing QoL among adults with stroke.Palavras-chave
