Return to work within a year after first stroke: blue and white collar workers comparison, predictors and causal mediation assessed during inpatient rehabilitation
CONCLUSION: Blue collar workers showed higher proportion of risk factors and comorbidities. Novel factors, predictors, and a return to work mediator were identified.PMID:38375551 | DOI:10.1080/10749357.2024.2312640 (Source: Topics in Stroke Rehabilitation)

Mediation effect of self-efficacy on the relationship between perceived social support and resilience in caregivers of patients with first-stroke in China: a cross-sectional survey
CONCLUSION: Both simple and mediation roles of perceived social support and self-efficacy are established in the relationship of resilience among caregivers of first-stroke patients. Positive social support and self-efficacy are two important targets for future interventional studies, and interventions on them may synergistically improve resilience. Hence, the nurses and community workers should correctly evaluate social support and self-efficacy, confirm the health education requirements, and implement counseling intervention to protect and improve the health of first-stroke patients and their families.PMID:38375811 | DOI...

Differences in rehabilitation evaluation access for rural and socially disadvantaged stroke survivors
CONCLUSIONS: These findings describe the poor access to home health and outpatient rehabilitation for stroke survivors, particularly in traditionally underserved populations. These results will influence future economic evaluations of interventions aimed at improving access to care.PMID:38369788 | DOI:10.1080/10749357.2024.2312638 (Source: Topics in Stroke Rehabilitation)

A systematic review of discrete choice experiments in stroke rehabilitation
CONCLUSIONS: Few DCEs have been conducted in stroke rehabilitation, suggesting consumer preferences could be more rigorously explored. Included studies were narrow in the scope of attributes included, limiting their application to practice and policy. Further research is needed to assess the impact of differing service delivery models on uptake and participation.PMID:38372124 | DOI:10.1080/10749357.2024.2312641 (Source: Topics in Stroke Rehabilitation)

Development of the Japanese version of the stroke stigma scale: a validity and reliability assessment
CONCLUSIONS: The SSS-J adapted to the Rasch model was reliable and valid. This scale can be used to quantitatively measure stigma among community-dwelling post-stroke persons in Japan.PMID:38373013 | DOI:10.1080/10749357.2024.2318097 (Source: Topics in Stroke Rehabilitation)

The effect of vestibular and somatosensory rehabilitation in addition to early rehabilitation on balance after stroke: a randomized controlled trial
CONCLUSIONS: Based on these findings, the use of vestibular and somatosensory rehabilitation can be recommended for better functioning of the compensatory mechanism of early subacute-stroke hemiplegic patients in early ambulation, and this can lead to considerably improved standing and dynamic upper and lower body balance.PMID:38373015 | DOI:10.1080/10749357.2024.2318096 (Source: Topics in Stroke Rehabilitation)
