Statistical analyses conducted with the use of the IBM SPSS Statistics package, version 26 included descriptive statistics, Student’s t\- test for dependent and independent samples, the Mann–Whitney U tests, the ANOVA one\-way analysis of variance, the analysis of the correlation of Pearson’s r and Spearman’s rho efficient, and the hierarchical analysis of the linear regression. The level of statistical significance was established as α = 0,05 \(p < 0,05\). RESULTS. Self\-care capacity in the examined was determined at the medium\-high level. Those who are city residents, educated, professionally active and of good material status had a higher level of self\-care. No significant variations depending on the gender of the examined were observed \(p=0,348\). The self\-care capacity correlated positively with the functional ability \(r=0,87\), with the knowledge about stroke \(r=0,45\), as well as the social support \(r=0,59\). Similarly, a significant correlation between the general sense of self \-efficacy \(r=0,59\) and internal placement of"]
