The role of education, concept knowledge, work setting and clinical experience in communication partner training: A survey of Flemish speech and language therapists
CONCLUSIONS & IMPLICATIONS: To reduce the practice-evidence gap, we suggest prioritising the two most frequently identified barriers, that is, lack of time and CPT-specific knowledge. To overcome the time barrier in CPT, we propose implementing automated natural speech analysis to reduce the workload. To enhance CPT-specific knowledge, speech and language therapy curricula should provide more in-depth theory and hands-on practice for CPT. In addition, increased awareness about CPT-specific methods is needed to further support clinical practice.WHAT THIS PAPER ADDS: What is already known on the subject Communication partner...

Neuroanatomical correlates of macrostructural receptive abilities in narrative discourse in unilateral left hemisphere stroke: A behavioural and voxel-based morphometry study
CONCLUSIONS & IMPLICATIONS: The present results suggest that retelling and comprehension of auditory and written narratives are relatively well-preserved in individuals with a LH stroke without significant aphasia, but poorer than in HC. The findings replicate previous studies conducted in groups with higher levels of education and SES both at the behavioural and neural levels. Considering that naming seems to be associated with narrative retell and comprehension in individuals with lower SES and education, this research provides evidence on the importance of pursuing further studies including larger samples with and witho...

Communicative participation in goal-setting meetings for patients with aphasia after stroke. A study using patients' and healthcare professionals' self-ratings
CONCLUSION: Results from both PwA and controls imply that patients may need more support to be able to ask questions in meetings with HCPs. Although self-ratings increase the ecological validity of the study of participation, further studies could benefit from using video observations in combination with self-reported experience, since awareness might influence results.WHAT THIS PAPER ADS: What is already known on this subject Aphasia is an acquired language disorder that affects patient-provider communication. In stroke rehabilitation, person-centred goal setting is a key component. If healthcare professionals (HCPs) are ...
