Perceived participation and autonomy post-stroke and associated factors: An explorative cross-sectional study.

The results may be used to provide nurses with a better understanding of the participation among stroke patients and assist them in promoting the post-stroke participation. Nurses should pay special attention to those with older age, worse physical function, lower self-efficacy, less support, little stroke-related knowledge, or who applied resignation coping style since those patients might experience lower participation in their daily life. It needs further studies to explore the causal effects of self-efficacy, coping styles, and social support on post-stroke participation.
