Relationship between social participation and personality traits among stoke patients:a cross-sectional study

Social participation levels among stroke patients were suboptimal. Higher levels of conscientiousness, extraversion, and self-care ability were associated with greater social participation, whereas more severe stroke-related disability (higher mRS and NIHSS scores) and neuroticism were associated with reduced participation. These findings support the integration of personality assessment into rehabilitation planning to promote social engagement in stroke survivors.
