Prognostication in post-stroke aphasia: speech pathologists' clinical insights on formulating and delivering information about recovery
CONCLUSIONS: Speech pathologists use implicit competencies to formulate and deliver aphasia prognoses. A patient-centred, holistic contextualisation of aphasia recovery may enable realistic, optimistic, and constructive conversations about prognosis. These conversations may have therapeutic potential if prognostic uncertainty, emotional adjustment, and conditional outcomes are carefully addressed. Future research should seek to understand the perceptions and preferences of people with aphasia and their significant others.Implications for RehabilitationAphasia prognostication in clinical practice is complex and nuanced, thu...

Supportive Communication for Individuals with Aphasia
Aphasia is a language disorder that affects speaking, listening, reading, and writing. Aphasia is most commonly caused by a stroke or injury to the left side of the brain. Brain tumors and other neurologic diseases can also cause aphasia. Because of language impairments, individuals with aphasia struggle to participate in daily life activities involving communication in health care settings, at home, or in their community.1 People with aphasia and their communication partners can use supportive strategies to help them communicate in daily life.

Establishing reporting standards for participant characteristics in post-stroke aphasia research: An international e-Delphi exercise and consensus meeting
CONCLUSION: Aphasia research studies should report the 14 DESCRIBE participant characteristics as a minimum. Consistent adherence to the DESCRIBE minimum reporting standard will reduce research wastage and facilitate evidence-based aphasia management by enabling replication and collation of research findings, and translation of evidence into practice.PMID:36250530 | DOI:10.1177/02692155221131241

New factors that affect quality of life in patients with aphasia
Conclusion: Aphasia severity, mood disorders and functional limitations may have a negative effect on QoL in patients with aphasia. Also, for the first time, we show that fatigue has an important impact on QoL in this population. Specific management of this symptom might be beneficial and should be explored in future studies.

"Loneliness can also kill:" a qualitative exploration of outcomes and experiences of the SUPERB peer-befriending scheme for people with aphasia and their significant others
CONCLUSION: Peer-befriending was an acceptable intervention. Benefits for emotional wellbeing and companionship were reported. The shared experience in the befriending relationship was highly valued.Implications for RehabilitationThe lived experience of stroke and aphasia of befrienders was highly valued by people with aphasia receiving peer-befriending.Training, regular supervision, and support for befrienders with practicalities such as organising visits ensured the befriending scheme was perceived as straightforward and acceptable by befriendees.Those receiving peer-befriending would recommend it to others; they found i...
