AbstractBackground: Changing lifestyle can be effective in preventing pain and facilitates the process of chronic pain and its side effects. Pain acceptance is an important and valuable concept related to the manner of a person, reaction, and compatibility with chronic pain. Objectives: The current study was conducted to determine lifestyle with chronic pain and pain acceptance in patients with stroke in Ilam city in 2018. Methods: This was a descriptive cross-sectional study conducted in 2018 on 200 patients, who were hospitalized at Shaheed Mostafa Hospital of Ilam city due to stroke. According to the goals of the study, demographic specifications, the questionnaire of lifestyle with chronic pain, and the questionnaire of chronic pain acceptance were used. The obtained data of this study were analyzed using descriptive statistics (mean, standard deviation, and the table of frequency distribution) and inferential statistical tests (independent t and analysis of variance (ANOVA)). Results: According to the findings, the mean (SD) of pain acceptance was 16.22 (1.99) and that of lifestyle with chronic pain was 21.83 (3.91). Also, the maximum score in lifestyle with chronic pain and chronic pain acceptance was respectively 32 and 22.
