Abstract

<p>It has been pointed out that patients with cerebrovascular disorders need palliative care intervention immediately after the onset. The ultimate goal of palliative care is to improve QOL by eliminating various pains that occur in each individual. The purpose of this study was to clarify whether items related to spirituality were included in the disease-specific QOL assessment for cerebrovascular disorder patients by content analysis.</p><p>The method was to compare the disease-specific QOL assessment for cerebrovascular disorders with the 6 spirituality/religion/personal beliefs of the WHO QOL assessment created by the WHO （VI Spirituality/religion/personal beliefs）. As a result, Stroke Specific Quality of Life includes “words related to self-crisis” and “relationships” and “autonomy” in spirituality.</p><p>In addition, “words related to self-improvement” were included in the reversal item. From the above, it was considered desirable to utilize the characteristics of these evaluations to capture spirituality in the disease-specific QOL evaluation of cerebrovascular disorders.</p>
