Exploring perceptions of stroke survivors and caregivers about secondary prevention: a longitudinal qualitative study.
CONCLUSION: Despite experiencing some barriers, stroke survivors adopted lifestyle changes transitioning through different stages of change. Stroke prevention education and interventions from experts would be helpful later in the rehabilitation phase (once at home) and adopting a patient-family centered approach may assist stroke survivors and their caregivers in the uptake of secondary stroke prevention activities. Implications for rehabilitation Stroke is perceived as a soul searching experience by stroke survivors and their caregivers motivating them to enquire its causes and adopting lifestyle changes to prevent a futu...

Stroke-Specific Quality of Life one-year post-stroke in two Scandinavian country-regions with different organisation of rehabilitation services: a prospective study.
Conclusions: Successful improvements in one-year functioning in both country-regions may result from optimising long-term rehabilitation services to address cognitive, emotional, and social functioning. Stroke-Specific Quality of Life one-year post-stroke could be explained by individual factors, such as pre-stroke dependency and mental health, rather than differences in the organisation of subacute rehabilitation services.IMPLICATIONS FOR REHABILITATIONThe stroke-specific health related quality of life (SS-QOL) assessment tool captures multidimensional effects of a stroke from the perspective of the patient, which is clin...

Nurse-led stroke aftercare addressing long-term psychosocial outcome: a comparison to care-as-usual.
CONCLUSIONS: Nurse-led stroke aftercare showed to be beneficial for emotional well-being in comparison to care-as-usual. Providing psychoeducation and emotional support seem effective elements but adding other therapeutic elements such as self-management strategies might increase the effectiveness of nurse-led stroke aftercare. Implications for rehabilitation Routine stroke follow-up care should pay attention to psychosocial and emotional outcome in a systematic manner, in addition to secondary prevention. Healthcare professionals such as (specialized) nurses are needed to appropriately address the hidden cognitive and emo...

Relationship between pre-stroke physical activity and symptoms of post-stroke anxiety and depression: An observational study.
CONCLUSION: In this group of patients with mild symptoms of emotional distress, it seems that pre-stroke physical activity might be protective against post-stroke depression, but not anxiety. Many patients with mild-to-moderate stroke report being equally active before and after the stroke.

The course of depressive symptoms in the first 12 months post-stroke and its association with unmet needs
CONCLUSIONS: Depressive symptoms three months post-stroke were likely to persist or recur during the first 12 months post-stroke. Depressive symptoms are associated with unmet needs. These results suggest that routine monitoring of depressive symptoms and unmet needs should be considered post-stroke.Implications for rehabilitationPatients with depressive symptoms three months post-stroke have a high risk of developing persistent or recurrent depressive symptoms during the first 12 months post-stroke.Unmet needs are associated with both non-consistent and persistent depressive symptoms post-stroke.These results suggest that...

A qualitative study exploring how stroke survivors' expectations and understanding of stroke Early Supported Discharge shaped their experience and engagement with the service
CONCLUSIONS: Ensuring stroke survivors are fully informed about ESD and what to expect, optimises engagement with the services, improves experience and could enhance outcomes.IMPLICATIONS FOR REHABILITATIONInforming stroke survivors about what to expect from ESD services could optimise engagement and improve their experience.The provision of personalised and target focussed therapy at home improves stroke survivors' experience and could potentially accelerate recovery.Preparing stroke survivors early for discharge from ESD can reduce anxiety and enhance engagement with the service.PMID:35895746 | DOI:10.1080/09638288.2022.2102251

Factors associated with community ambulation in chronic stroke.
CONCLUSION: Balance self-efficacy may be a significant determinant in the attainment of independent community ambulation post-stroke. This suggests that physical aspects such as gait speed and walking balance should not be considered in isolation when addressing community ambulation post-stroke. Implications for Rehabilitation Balance self-efficacy may play a significant role in the attainment of independent community ambulation in a chronic stroke population. Physiotherapy interventions addressing community ambulation post-stroke should consider methods for improving balance self-efficacy in chronic stroke, such as self m...

The role of rehabilitation psychology in stroke care described through case examples.
CONCLUSION: Given the abrupt and significant life-changing nature of stroke, it is often necessary to manage a diverse array of psychological issues that often cannot be simply managed via psychotropic medications. Moreover, an understanding of the patients' emotional adjustment and issues can help them maximize their rehabilitation, recovery, and community integration. For the cases discussed, psychology consultations were central in helping optimize their rehabilitation and functional outcomes.

The influence of psychological factors and mood on the course of participation up to four years after stroke.
CONCLUSIONS: Participation improves in the first 12 months after stroke and stabilizes afterwards. Mood problems and less adaptive psychological factors negatively influence the course of participation over time up to four years after stroke. Implications for rehabilitation Follow-up assessments after stroke should not only focus on cognitive and motor impairment, but also encompass screening on mood problems and adaptive psychological factors. Implementation of a routine follow-up assessment one year after stroke can be beneficial as restrictions in participation are unlikely to diminish spontaneously from then onwards....

Questionnaire assessment of usual practice in mood and cognitive assessment in Scottish stroke units.
Conclusion: Response rate was modest but included all mainland Scottish regions with active stroke services. Although the majority of responders are assessing cognition and mood there is substantial heterogeneity in measures used and certain commonly used tools are not validated or appropriate for use in stroke. We suggest development of evidence based, standardised assessment protocols. Implications for Rehabilitation Screening stroke survivor's for cognitive and mood issues is recommended but there is little guidance on the preferred assessment strategy Across Scottish stroke services there is a lack of consensus in asse...

Comparing the Course of Mental Health over the First Year after Stroke with Healthy Controls in Colombia, South America
Conclusions This is the first study to examine the course of mental health over the first year post-stroke in Latin America, specifically in Ibague, Colombia. Despite the improvements in anxiety and depression over the first year post-stroke, patient anxiety and depression were still worse in comparison to healthy controls. The current findings indicate a need for rehabilitation services in Colombia, especially targeting mental health issues.
