Aim and objective. The primary aim was to examine the prevalence of poststroke depression in Chinese stroke survivors six months after discharge from a rehabilitation hospital. A second aim was to determine whether six‐month poststroke depression was associated with psychological, social and physical outcomes and demographic variables. Background.

While some previous studies report associations between depression and social, psychological, physical and clinical outcomes, few studies had sufficient sample sizes for regression analysis thereby limiting the clinical applicability of their findings. Design. A cross‐sectional design was used. Method. Data were collected from 124 male and 86 female stroke survivors (mean age 71·7, SD 10·2 years).

Results. Forty‐two survivors (20·5%) reported mild and 33 (16·1%) reported severe depression.
