Abstract

Aim: To the determinants and the underlying mechanism of health literacy, social support, and resilience on the health-related quality of life (HRQoL) among older stroke survivors.

Design: A cross-sectional design was applied at four comprehensive hospitals in Chongqing via convenience sampling from January 2020 to June 2021.

Methods: Health literacy, social support, and resilience were designed as independent variables, and HRQoL was measured as a dependent variable. Structural equation modelling with the bootstrap method was used to test the hypotheses.

Results: The theoretically derived model exhibited a good fit (χ/df ratio = 2.830, GFI = 0.987, CFI = 0.978, RMSEA = 0.066). Health literacy (β = 0.12, p < 0.05) and social support (β = 0.14, p < 0.05) directly affect HRQoL. Resilience (β = 0.40, p < 0.01) also mediated the relationship between health literacy, social support, and HRQoL. The three variables explaining 29.0% of HRQoL variance.

Patient Or Public Contribution: There was no direct patient or public involvement in the design, conduct, or reporting of this study. Participants were recruited through convenience sampling from four comprehensive hospitals in Chongqing, and their perspectives or contributions were not explicitly sought. The study focused on examining the determinants and underlying mechanism of health literacy, social support, and resilience on the health-related quality of life among older stroke survivors. Nonetheless, the findings of this research may inform the development of interventions aimed at improving the health-related quality of life in post-stroke older patients.
