Objectives: The aim of this review is to clarify the content of environment and its role in social participation in stroke patients through systematic analysis, and to provide a basis for further research on the correlation between the environment and social participation. Methods: Using the scoping review research method, we conducted a computer-based search using 3 databases – PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane. The search timeframe was from the establishment of the databases up to May 9, 2024. The included literature was categorized and analyzed. Results: We selected a total of 26 articles. They included one cohort study, one retrospective analysis, 2 longitudinal studies, one prospective study, 14 cross-sectional studies, and 7 qualitative research studies. The concept of environment consists of 5 aspects. We found that multiple environmental factors jointly influenced social participation. Conclusion: Environmental factors play a crucial role in influencing social participation in stroke. Various aspects of environmental factors collectively impact social participation. Improving social participation in stroke survivors requires a comprehensive consideration of physical, social, institutional, and cultural environmental factors.
