Brief Summary
The goal of this observational study is to better understand fatigue after stroke. Many people feel ongoing tiredness months or years after a stroke. This fatigue may affect daily activities, work, and social life. It does not always improve with rest. This study aims to answer these questions: How do participants describe their fatigue? How strong and how often does it occur? How does it affect daily life and quality of life? What strategies do participants use to manage it? About 20 to 30 adults living in French-speaking Switzerland who have had a stroke will take part. Participants will: Complete one anonymous questionnaire online or on paper. Answer questions about their fatigue and daily life. Share their experience in their own words. The questionnaire takes about 15 to 20 minutes. There are no medical tests, treatments, or follow-up visits. Participation is voluntary. Participants may stop at any time. No names or identifying information are collected. The results may help health professionals better understand post-stroke fatigue and improve rehabilitation care.
