Objective: To analyze the relation of the perceived stress with sociodemographic and clinical
variables of people with sequelae of stroke.
Method: A cross-sectional study, conducted with 160 individuals with stroke-related sequelae,
registered in Family Health Units in the city of João Pessoa-PB, Brazil. The information was
collected using a semi-structured instrument to obtain sociodemographic and clinical data,
and the Perceived Stress Scale. The analysis was performed using the Mann-Whitney and
Kruskal-Wallis tests.
Results: The perceived stress was classified as moderate (22.05; ±10.92). A significant
association was observed between stress and the muscle weakness (p=0.041), mood disorder
(p=0.032), presence of a caregiver (p=0.017) variables.
Conclusion: There was a significant association of high levels of stress with the sequelae of
muscle weakness and mood disorders, and care dependence of third parties to carry out daily
living activities.
