The Wayfinding Questionnaire as a Self-report Screening Instrument for Navigation-related Complaints After Stroke: Internal Validity in Healthy Respondents and Chronic Mild Stroke Patients.
CONCLUSIONS: These studies allowed us to determine the final version of the WQ. The results indicated that the WQ is an internally valid and reliable instrument that can be interpreted using a three-factor structure in both healthy respondents and chronic mild stroke patients.

Clarifying the associations between anxiety, depression and fatigue following stroke
Both psychological distress and fatigue are common post stroke. Although there is recognition that the phenomena are related, the nature of the relationship is unclear.Cross-sectional study of 98 independently functioning participants within 2 years of stroke. Significant relationships were observed between fatigue and general anxiety, health-related anxiety and stroke-specific anxiety (r range from .31 to .37). In the final regression model, depression, pain and stroke-specific anxiety were significant, accounting for 32 per cent of the variance in fatigue scores (p < .001). The findings provide insight into the import...

Brief group-based acceptance and commitment therapy for stroke survivors.
CONCLUSIONS: The results correspond with previous studies of group-based ACT with other long-term conditions. The findings from this current study suggest group-based ACT may have promising utility and could offer a suitable low-intensity psychological intervention for stroke survivors. However, further large-scale research is required.
PRACTITIONER POINTS: Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), delivered didactically to groups of stroke survivors, proved feasible and acceptable. ACT had benefits, relative to treatment as usual, for depression, health status, and hope. Several secondary outcome variables did not sho...

Psychological Determinants of Medication Adherence in Stroke Survivors: a Systematic Review of Observational Studies.
CONCLUSIONS: This review provides foundations for evidence-based intervention design by establishing psychological determinants most influential in stroke survivors' medication adherence. Six TDF domains do not appear to have been tested, possibly representing gaps in research design. Future research should standardise and clearly report determinant and medication adherence measurement to facilitate meta-analysis. The range of determinants explored should be broadened to enable more complete understanding of stroke survivors' medication adherence.

Parent experiences and developmental outcomes following neonatal stroke.
Conclusions: This study highlights the role of the neuropsychologist in the child's care in educating families and monitoring outcomes, emphasizes mental health support for parents of children with a history of neonatal stroke, and reiterates how environmental factors outside of the neonatal stroke itself can impact the child's functioning.

The Behavioural Outcomes of Anxiety scale (BOA): A preliminary validation in stroke survivors.
CONCLUSIONS: The carer BOA has acceptable psychometric properties and is independent of survivor demographic variables such as age. It identifies self-reported cases with acceptable sensitivity and specificity. It has potential for use with persons unable to self-report anxiety. Further validation is recommended, but its continuing use is supported.

The Role of Short Term Psychological and Somatic Anxiety in the Prediction of Long Term Anxiety of Early Hospital Discharged Patients with Complete Functional Recovery after a Mild Stroke
Few previous investigations have focused on post-stroke anxiety (PSA) predictors in mild stroke patients. The aim of the study was to determine whether anxiety-related psychological symptoms and psychomotor agitation predict PSA. We compared 10 anxious and 10 non-anxious patients at 6 months post-stroke (T2) to their psychological anxiety and psychomotor agitation levels 3 months earlier (T1). Anxious patients had more psychological anxiety symptoms than non-anxious patients. Overall T2 anxiety was strongly correlated with T1 psychological anxiety. Thus, psychological symptoms are a better predictor of PSA than somatic sym...

A systematic review of anxiety interventions in stroke and acquired brain injury: Efficacy and trial design
There is little randomized controlled trial (RCT) evidence to guide treatment for anxiety after stroke. We systematically reviewed RCTs of anxiety interventions in acquired brain injury (ABI) conditions including stroke and traumatic brain injury (TBI) in order to summarize efficacy and key aspects of trial design to help guide future RCTs.

Exploring the Impact of Illness Perceptions, Self-efficacy, Coping Strategies, and Psychological Distress on Quality of Life in a Post-stroke Cohort
This study evaluated the mediating role of self-efficacy, coping, depression and anxiety on the relationship between illness perceptions and quality of life in stroke survivors (n = 72; 32 females; mean [SD] age 65.09 [14.14] years; male mean [SD] age 69.83 [11.81]). Illness perceptions (Brief Illness Perceptions Questionnaire; BIPQ), coping styles (Carver Brief-COPE scale; B-COPE), depression/anxiety (Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale; HADS), self-efficacy (General Self-Efficacy Scale; GSE) and quality of life (Assessment of quality of life; AQOL-6D) were analysed. Correlation analyses showed illness perception, m...

Depression and Anxiety Screens as Predictors of 8-Year Incidence of Myocardial Infarction and Stroke in Primary Care Patients
We examined depression and anxiety screens, and their individual items, as predictors of incident hard CVD events, myocardial infarction, and stroke for 8 years in a diverse sample of 2041 older primary care patients initially free of CVD. At baseline, participants completed self-report depression and anxiety screens. Data regarding CVD events were obtained from an electronic medical record system and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services analytic files.
Results: During follow-up, 683 (33%) experienced a CVD event. Cox proportional hazards models—adjusted for demographic and CVD risk factors—revealed that a p...

SSRI antidepressants are not associated with cerebral microbleeds or ischaemic vascular lesions
ABSTRACT FROM: Aarts N, Akoudad S, Noordam R, et al. Inhibition of serotonin reuptake by antidepressants and cerebral microbleeds in the general population. Stroke 2014; 45:1951–7. What is already known on this topic In observational cohort studies, small increases in risk of stroke and transient ischaemic attacks have been shown to be associated with selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRI) antidepressants compared to no treatment for depression in the over 65 years age group when cardiovascular risk factors were adjusted.1 SSRI antidepressants might decrease platelet aggregation and increase bleeding2 bu...
