Living with the long-term consequences 11-13 years after stroke: A phenomenological study.

This study provides an understanding of the complexity of the lost connection between body and world occurring for a long time after stroke. This understanding provides support for the need for long-term and intermittent support and guidance to enable the re-creation of meaning and participation in everyday life in order to find a "new" self-identity after stroke, especially among persons with residual cognitive impairment.
