Abstract: 
Stroke is a remarkable event that often causes serious physical, psychological, cognitive and social impairments. Occupational therapy is a patient-centered health care profession that focuses on an individual's occupational performance and well-being by minimizing the impairments that prevent individuals with functional limitations from ensuring appropriate use of their environments. The purpose of the study is to identify the level of occupational performance and wellbeing of stroke patient and investigate the relationship between occupational performance and well-being. Occupational Self-Assessment questionnaire and Personal Well-Being Index questionnaire were used to determine the level of performance and wellbeing. Pearson correlation analysis and a prospective cross-sectional research were employed in this study in order to examine the association between occupational performance and well-being. The result section had shown the general socio-demographic characteristics of the study participants. In Occupational performance “Getting along with others” (2.71 ± 0.715) and “Relaxing and enjoying myself” (2.64 ± 0.619) was scored highest among the 21 myself items. Among the “My Environment” items, “People who support and encourage me” (2.73 ± 0.608) and “People who spend time and share interest with me” (2.70 ± 0.588) showed highest scores.
