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...

Intersectional sociodemographic and neurological relationships in the naming ability of persons with post-stroke aphasia
CONCLUSIONS: The findings reported here suggest higher income and larger family size are associated with better outcomes. As expected, aphasia type was significantly associated with naming outcomes. However, poorer performance by Black PWA and individuals with low income suggests that SDOH can play a critical role (positive and negative) in naming impairment in some populations with aphasia.PMID:37331326 | DOI:10.1016/j.jcomdis.2023.106352

Assessing Depression and its Correlates Among Post-stroke Survivors with Aphasia in Sri Lanka
This study attempted to identify the individuals with depression among people with aphasia, to understand the influence of socio-demographic factors on depression, and to understand the relationship PSD has with language impairment and physical disability. We conducted a cross-sectional study with 78 participants recruited from three hospital-based speech and language therapy clinics in Sri Lanka. Sinhala Language Aphasia Assessment, Peradeniya Depression Scale, and Barthel Index were used to measure language skills, depression symptoms, and physical disability. From the sample, 25.6% (n  = 20) were having depression. ...

Do social determinants influence post-stroke aphasia outcomes? A scoping review
CONCLUSIONS: Research on SDOHs and aphasia outcomes is in its infancy. Given SDOHs are modifiable and operate over a lifetime, and aphasia is a chronic condition, there is a pressing need to understand the role of SDOHs on aphasia outcomes in the long term.Implications for rehabilitationResearch on the role of Social Determinants of Health (SDoH) and aphasia outcomes is in its infancy.The role of SDoHs has been mainly investigated in relation to language outcomes.Little is known about the SDoHs on activity, participation, and quality of life outcomes.Rehabilitation professionals should consider the potential influence of i...
