Repeated measurement indicated significant differences of total life satisfaction between clinics, also when controlled for disability and severity. The items \u201csexual life,\u201d \u201chealth,\u201d and \u201cvocational life\u201d\/\u201cfinancial\u201d were most dissatisfying at the various reported time points. The linear regression analysis revealed an equal amount of internal and external explanatory factors at the different time points, explaining between 16% and 41% of the variations.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Discussion and conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The perceived life satisfaction was reported as low\/dissatisfying at the four stated time points in all the participating clinics. Four items were especially vulnerable post-stroke: vocational situation, sexual life, physical health and mental health. Both internal and external factors contributed to life satisfaction, such as gender, severity of stroke, marital status, country, models of rehabilitation, occupational status, length of stay (LOS), number of therapies and hours in therapy. However, there were significant differences between clinics, indicating that unidentified factors may also influence life satisfaction.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/2396987317695140","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,2,24]],"date-time":"2017-02-24T07:26:00Z","timestamp":1487921160000},"page":"154-162","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":16,"title":["Life satisfaction in persons with severe stroke \u2013 A longitudinal report from the Sunnaas International Network (SIN) stroke study"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"2","author":[{"given":"Birgitta","family":"Langhammer","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Health, Sunnaas Rehabilitation Hospital, Oslo and Akershus University College, Oslo, Norway 1"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Katharina S","family":"Sunnerhagen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Clinical Neuroscience, Faculty of Medicine, University of Gothenburg, G\u00f6teborg, Sweden 2"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Johan K","family":"Stanghelle","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Sunnaas Rehabilitation Hospital, Nesoddtangen, Norway 3"},{"name":"Faculty of Medicine, University of Oslo, Oslo, Norway 4"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Susanne","family":"S\u00e4llstr\u00f6m","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Sunnaas Rehabilitation Hospital, Nesoddtangen, Norway 3"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Frank","family":"Becker","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Sunnaas Rehabilitation Hospital, Nesoddtangen, Norway 3"},{"name":"Faculty of Medicine, University of Oslo, Oslo, Norway 4"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Kerstin","family":"Fugl-Meyer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Social Work, Department of Neurobiology, Care Sciences and Society, Karolinska Institute, Huddinge, Sweden 5"},{"name":"Department of Social Work, Karolinska University Hospital, Solna, Sweden 6"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2017,6,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"2026012113053988700_bibr1-2396987317695140","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"245","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(13)61953-4","article-title":"Global and regional burden of stroke during 1990\u20132010: findings from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2010","volume":"383","author":"Feigin","year":"2014","journal-title":"Lancet"},{"key":"2026012113053988700_bibr2-2396987317695140"},{"key":"2026012113053988700_bibr3-2396987317695140","volume-title":"Motivation and personality","author":"Maslow","year":"1954"},{"key":"2026012113053988700_bibr4-2396987317695140","first-page":"1987","volume-title":"Unravelling the mystery of health: How people manage stress and stay well","author":"Antonovsky"},{"key":"2026012113053988700_bibr5-2396987317695140","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"725","DOI":"10.1016\/0277-9536(93)90033-Z","article-title":"The structure and properties of the sense of coherence scale","volume":"36","author":"Antonovsky","year":"1993","journal-title":"Soc Sci Med"},{"key":"2026012113053988700_bibr6-2396987317695140","first-page":"63","article-title":"On life satisfaction in subjects with neurological disorders","volume":"2","author":"Br\u00e4nholm","year":"1996","journal-title":"Neurol Rehabil"},{"key":"2026012113053988700_bibr7-2396987317695140","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"35","DOI":"10.1007\/978-94-015-8344-2_3","article-title":"Towards a theory of happiness: a subjective notion of quality of life","volume-title":"Concept and measurement of quality of life in health care","author":"Nordenfelt","year":"1994"},{"key":"2026012113053988700_bibr8-2396987317695140","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"3","DOI":"10.7551\/mitpress\/2242.003.0004","article-title":"Measuring subjective well-being to compare the quality of life of cultures","volume-title":"Culture and subjective well-being","author":"Diener","year":"2000"},{"key":"2026012113053988700_bibr9-2396987317695140","first-page":"214","article-title":"An international multicenter study of specialized rehabilitation for stroke patients.
