Abstract: Objective To initially understand the condition of quality of life (QOL) and depression as well as the correlation between them in the stroke inpatients. Methods 56 stroke patients from September 2014 to January 2015 in our hospital were included. Their QOL and depression status were evaluated with Stroke-Specific Quality of Life Scale (SS-QOL) and Self-rating Depression Scale (SDS). The de-pression was as the dependent variable, the score of SS-QOL, gender, age, education background, and the duration of stroke were as the inde-pendent variables, and analyzed with Logistic regression. Results Depression correlated with SS-QOL score (OR=0.955, P<0.05), but not with gender, age, education background, and the duration of stroke (P>0.05). Conclusion The depression status correlated with the QOL of stroke patients, but did not with gender, age, education background and the duration of stroke.
