Result: the main result of study revealed that, there was a highly significant relation between socio-demographic characteristics and the patients QOL especially age, employment status, and the monthly income, the overall QOL (P<0.05). Conclusions: There were a significants relation between socio-demographic characteristics and the patients QOL especially age, employment status, and monthly income, the overall QOL (P<0.05). Recommendation: the study recommended that, design health education program to raise stroke patient QOL, design program to improve care giver attitude toward stroke patient, collaborative efforts among the governmental agencies to improve the educational level of the citizens, further studies to examine QOL on larger group of patients to generalize the results.
