5.CONCLUSION
In conclusion, SSQOL and SF-36 scales are reliable measurement tools
that can be used to evaluate the quality of life of acute stroke
patients However, when similar subdimensions were examined; It was
concluded that SSQOL generally had higher mean scores, higher internal
consistencies, and also a moderate correlation existed between similar
subdimensions of both scales. Besides, celling and floor values of both
scales were similar except for PF and A subdimensions. In line with
these results; use of disease-specific SSQOL scale is priorly
recommended for the evaluation of the quality of life of acute stroke
patients. It is also recommended that this study be performed in
different groups of stroke patients, one month or longer after a stroke
attack.
