Brief Summary

The purpose of the Health, functioning, work, and experiences of social and health services of persons with stroke study (FinPostStroke) is to identify factors related to self-reported health, functioning, work, inclusion, and accessibility of social and health services, and how such factors are interconnected in Finnish adults one or more years after stroke. Participants will be targeted from two tertiary hospitals' registries and recruited via mail. This cross-sectional explorative observational study is based on register data and postal survey. The survey questionnaire includes several valid patient-reported outcome measures. The study will add knowledge to be utilized in developing health care and rehabilitation services for people with stroke, as well as provide information for various parties involved.
