Summary:Post-stroke depression is among the most frequent neuropsychiatric complications of stroke, and it is associated with poor prognosis and outcomes. This study aimed to assess the prevalence of depression; its correlates, and predictors among patients with stroke in Jordan. A cross-sectional, descriptive correlation design was used among 198 patients with stroke admitted to 9 hospitals all over Jordan. Depression was assessed using the validated hospital depression subscale (HDS) of the Hospital Anxiety and Depression scale. Study patients (mean age 56.62 years [SD = 14.2], 53% were males) experienced high prevalence of depression (76%); of these, 51.6% were categorized as higher depression category (a case of depression; HDS = 11-21). Factors that correspondingly predicted higher depression categories were low level of education (odds ratio [OR] = 3.347, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 2.920-23.949, P
