[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of time-use intervention on the quality of life of outpatients with chronic stroke. [Participants and Methods] This study randomly allocated 31 chronic stroke outpatients into an experimental group (n=16) and a control group (n=15). The experiment group was given general rehabilitative therapy three times per week for eight weeks, and time-use intervention through counselling once per week for eight weeks. The control group was given general rehabilitative therapy only for three times per week for eight weeks. The World Health Organization Quality of Life-BREF (WHOQOL-BREF) was used to measure the changes in the quality of life of the participants. [Results] After the intervention, the experimental group showed a significant improvement in the overall quality of life in comparison with the control group. Looking at specific categories, the experimental group showed significant improvements in the physical, spiritual, and environmental areas in contrast to the control group. [Conclusion] The findings of this study demonstrated the positive effects of time-use intervention on an improvement in the quality of life of outpatients with chronic stroke.
