Background: The psychometric properties of the Dutch version of the Stroke and Aphasia Quality Of Life-scale (SAQOL-39NL) have previously been assessed for people with aphasia after stroke, but not yet for stroke survivors without aphasia.
Objective: The objective is to evaluate the psychometric properties of the SAQOL-39NL in a stroke sample with and without aphasia.
Methods: The SAQOL-39NL was administered to survivors of stroke (N = 141) who received rehabilitation in specialized rehabilitation facilities, 3 and 6 months after the start of rehabilitation.
