Abstract

Beyond its biological effects, stroke is a serious public health concern that has a substantial impact on survivors’ quality of life (QoL). This study looks at stroke from a sociological angle, highlighting how social factors influence how well people recover. In order to examine how stroke is not just a medical disease but also a socially constructed experience, it examines important theoretical frameworks such as medical sociology, disability studies, and social determinants of health. Post-stroke quality of life is greatly influenced by socioeconomic variables, including work difficulties, healthcare accessibility, and financial instability. Furthermore, the contribution of policy initiatives, community rehabilitation, and social support networks to reintegration into society is evaluated. Disability rights, mobility, and accessibility all influence survivors’ experiences. This chapter promotes a multifaceted strategy that combines social, medical, and policy viewpoints to improve the general wellbeing of stroke survivors.
