Objective: To explore the quality of life,coping style and social support in patients with stroke.Methods: 60 patients with stroke and 60 normal controls were tested with the Generic Quality of Life Inventory(GQOLI),Medical Coping Questionnaire(MCMQ) and Social Support Assessment Scale(SSAS).Results: ①The total score of GQOLI and physical function,mental function and social function factor scores in the observed group were significantly lower than those in the control group(P0.01);②The score of face to face in the observed group was significantly lower than that in the control group(P0.01),while the score of submissiveness in the observed group was significantly higher than that in the control group(P0.01);③The total score of SSAS,objective support,subjective support and utilization degree of social support scores in the observed group were significantly lower than that in the control group(P0.01).④The total score of GQOLI and physical function,mental function and social function factor scores were significantly positively correlated with the score of face to face of MCMQ and the total score of SSAS,objective support,subjective support and utilization degree of social support scores,but they were significantly negatively correlated with the score of submissiveness of MCMQ.Conclusion: The quality of life of the patients with stroke was lower than that of the normal.The quality of life was significantly correlated with coping style and social support.
