Abstract
Objective: To determine the prevalence of the factors related to depression and of coping strategies with post-stroke depression.
Methodology: This correlational cross-sectional study was conducted in Rawalpindi and Islamabad from January to July 2018. Data were collected through convenient sampling and a total of 258 participants were included in the study. Patients with acute and chronic stroke of either gender with diagnosed depression residing in Rawalpindi and Islamabad were included, while patients with infectious diseases and taking anti-depressants were excluded from the study. Outcome measure variables included Depression Anxiety Stress scale (DASS 21), Modified Rankin Scale (MRS) and Cope Orientation to Problem (COPE) inventory.
Results: Depression was more common in the age range 60-69 years seen in 96 (37.2%) patients, male patients 189 (73.3%), patients with ischemic strokes 197 (76.4), left sided lesions 150 (58.1), and patients with moderate 87 (33.7%) to moderately severe 96 (37.2%) disability. The most frequently practiced strategy by the participants was religious coping. The value of r=0 suggests no correlation between different coping strategies and post stroke depression.
Conclusion: Post stroke depression was more common in male patients, ischemic strokes, left sided lesions, and patients with moderate to moderately severe disability. Religious coping was the most commonly used strategy. There was no correlation between post stroke depression and different coping strategies.

Key words: Coping strategies, post stroke depression, psychological stress, stroke.
