Interviews conducted with eight stroke patients 3-6 months post-discharge.

Exploration of patients' lived experiences and lifestyle disruptions after stroke.

Main Results:

Patients reported diverse experiences, including physical, psychological, and social impairments.
Common themes included medication management, fatigue, social difficulties, and lifestyle changes.
Emergent themes aligned with QQUIP goals: health literacy, decision-making, self-care, safety, access to advice, care experience, and service development.

Conclusions:

The QQUIP framework can guide the development of person-centered stroke rehabilitation interventions.
The framework addresses key patient concerns and enhances the quality of stroke care.
Further research using the QQUIP framework is recommended for intervention studies.
