Abstract

Background: Stroke is a leading cause of death and disability in Vietnam, significantly impacting patients’ quality of life. The Stroke Impact Scale 3.0 (SIS 3.0) is a widely used to assess health-related quality of life (HRQoL) but it has not yet been validated in Vietnam. Objective: To evaluate the reliability and construct validity of the Vietnamese version of the SIS 3.0 in stroke patients. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted at Thong Nhat Hospital. Internal consistency was assessed using Cronbach’s alpha (Cra), construct validity was examined through exploratory factor analysis (EFA), and convergent validity was determined via correlation with EQ-5D-5L. Results: The study included 80 stroke patients (51.3% male; mean age 66.65 ± 14.58 years; 87.5% ischemic stroke). The Vietnamese SIS 3.0 demonstrated high reliability (Cronbach’s alpha = 0.859–0.983). EFA confirmed an 8-factor structure (KMO = 0.67; total variance explained = 79.2%). The total SIS score and physical domain showed strong correlations with the EQ-5D-5L index (r = 0.718 and 0.743, respectively). Conclusion: The Vietnamese version of SIS 3.0 is a reliable and valid instrument for assessing quality of life in stroke patients in Vietnam.
