Feasibility of Problem-Solving Training During Inpatient Rehabilitation in Patients With Stroke
CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE: PST among patients with stroke during inpatient rehabilitation was feasible, and participants demonstrated improvements in clinical outcomes and goal attainment. Barriers to participation and adherence should be addressed in future studies. What This Article Adds: Teaching patients problem-solving skills early after a stroke using a metacognitive strategy is feasible and may decrease depression and increase self-efficacy while fostering independent goal setting and problem solving.PMID:36706277 | DOI:10.5014/ajot.2023.050083

Validation of the Persian Version of the Engagement in Meaningful Activities Survey (EMAS) in an Iranian Stroke Population: Predictors of Participation in Meaningful Activities
CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE: The results indicate that the EMAS-P has acceptable reliability and validity among Iranian people with chronic stroke. Moreover, the EMAS-P showed good discriminant validity for age, depression, and disability level among them. What This Article Adds: The EMAS-P is a reliable and valid scale for assessing the engagement of Iranian chronic stroke survivors in meaningful activities and thus should be helpful in both clinical research and practice.PMID:35771732 | DOI:10.5014/ajot.2022.046623

Psychometric Comparisons of Three Depression Measures for Patients With Stroke
CONCLUSION AND RELEVANCE: All three depression measures had sound internal consistency, test-retest reliability, and concurrent validity in patients with stroke. What This Article Adds: Of the three measures, the CES-D had better discriminative validity, and the GDS demonstrated greater reliability and smaller random measurement error in patients with stroke.PMID:35727642 | DOI:10.5014/ajot.2022.049347

Self-Perceived ADL/IADL Function is Influenced by Residual Neurological Impairment, Aphasia, and Anxiety
We examined the extent to which aphasia status, neurological impairment and poststroke depression, and anxiety contribute to self-perceived ADL/IADL function.METHOD.: Seventy-six community-dwelling individuals at least 6 months poststroke, 44 with and 32 without aphasia, participated in the cross-sectional study. The Stroke Impact Scale (SIS) ADL/IADL domain was the primary outcome measure with aphasia status, residual neurological impairment, depressive symptoms, and anxiety as predictor variables.FINDINGS: Aphasia status, residual neurological impairment, and anxiety were independent predictors of self-perceived ADL/IADL...
