Perceived Social Support in Adult Stroke
An observational study of Stroke and Healthy Control, run by Ondokuz Mayıs University at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).
Trial summary
Given the limited evidence in the literature regarding the effect of perceived social support on life satisfaction and social participation in adults with stroke, this study aimed to investigate the effect of perceived social support on these outcomes. Read more about this study

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Mini Mental State Examination
Cognitive function was assessed using the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), a 30-point scale ranging from 0 to 30, where higher scores indicate better cognitive function.
Measured: Baseline
Brunnstrom Stages of Hemiplegic Recovery
Motor recovery was assessed using the Brunnstrom Stages of Hemiplegic Recovery for the upper extremity, hand, and lower extremity, which classify motor function into six sequential stages (Stage I-VI), with higher stages indicating better motor recovery.
Measured: Baseline
The Satisfaction with Life Scale
Life satisfaction was assessed using the Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS), a five-item scale with total scores ranging from 5 to 35, where higher scores indicate greater life satisfaction.
Measured: Baseline
Short Form-36 Health Survey (SF-36)
Health-related quality of life was assessed using the Short Form Health Survey (SF-36), which yields scores ranging from 0 to 100 for each domain, with higher scores indicating better health-related quality of life.
Measured: Baseline
Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support
Perceived social support was assessed using the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS), a 12-item scale with total scores ranging from 12 to 84, where higher scores indicate greater perceived social support.
Measured: Baseline
Modified Mini-Mental State Examination for Illiterate Individuals
Cognitive function was assessed using the Modified Mini-Mental State Examination (3MS), which yields scores ranging from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating better cognitive function.
Measured: Baseline
