Recovery after stroke: perspectives of young stroke survivors in Taiwan.

CONCLUSION: These findings provide useful insights for rehabilitation clinicians to develop culturally tailored interventions to improve poststroke recovery outcomes in young stroke survivors. Implications for rehabilitation Rehabilitation clinicians should understand stroke survivors' beliefs and goals of recovery to provide tailored services. Optimizing the goal-setting process and patient-provider communication may help clinicians and survivors examine and adjust their expectations toward recovery during rehabilitation. Interventions will be needed to address personal and environmental supports and barriers, such as motivation, psychological factors, social support, and the physical environment to help survivors achieve their recovery goals.
