Factors influencing employment after minor stroke and NSTEMI
Aim: To study the effect of cognitive function, fatigue and emotional symptoms on employment after a minor ischemic stroke compared to non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI).Material and methods: We included 217 patients with minor ischemic stroke and 133 NSTEMI patients employed at baseline aged 18 –70 years. Minor stroke was defined as modified Rankin scale (mRS) 0–2 at day seven or at discharge if before. Included NSTEMI patients had the same functional mRS. We applied a selection of cognitive tests and the patients completed questionnaires measuring symptoms of anxiety, depression and f atigue at follow up.

Employment status, social function decline and caregiver burden among stroke survivors. A South Indian study
Conclusions: Loss of occupation among stroke survivors is high. The decline in social function among stroke survivors and caregivers was significant. Even though functional disability contributed to employment loss and social function decline among stroke survivors, it did not have a significant impact on caregiver burden.

A qualitative study on palliative needs of stroke patients in an Indian tertiary care setting - Doctors & #39; perspective
Conclusions: From the interviews of the clinicians, we can conclude that care of a stroke patient is more than medical management and rehabilitation, as several other aspects of the patient's life are affected by the condition. The quality of life aspect has to be looked upon as an area that requires active intervention in a setting of stroke. Physical disabilities were viewed as the most significant factor in reducing the quality of life. Spiritual needs have a low priority in comparison to other physical needs. Due to high patient load and time constraints, many of the needs are unaddressed. Two important area...

Acute phase factors associated with the course of depression during the first 18 months after first-ever stroke.
Conclusions: Several demographic and acute phase factors were associated with a more severe PSD course following stroke. Psychosocial support that begins in the acute phase and continues throughout the rehabilitation process may be helpful in improving both physical and psychological outcomes following stroke. Implications for Rehabilitation Depression levels are stable during the first 18 months after first-ever stroke. The course of post-stroke depression is related to the level of physical functioning in the acute phase, whether the stroke survivors live alone and their employment status at the time of stroke. Psycholog...

Factors associated with cognitive impairment at 3, 6, and 12 months after the first stroke among Lebanese survivors
ConclusionThe risk of PSCI among Lebanese stroke survivors was high especially in the acute phase, depending on various determinants. Health care providers are invited to implement an emergency rehabilitation program for an appropriate successful management of the risk factors in order to reduce stroke burden and to improve overall cognitive performance.

The role of biopsychosocial factors in the rehabilitation process of individuals with a stroke.
CONCLUSIONS:Comprehensive neurological rehabilitation, taking into account mental challenges and socio-economic circumstances of individuals with a stroke is essential in order to achieve high efficacy of physiotherapy. Important external factors may play a pivotal role in returning to work as well and should be taken into account during rehabilitation. Of interest should be to assess more biopsychological factors, such as acceptance of illness and a sense of self-efficacy referred to as barriers to return to work.

Personalized predictions of treatment outcome in patients with post-stroke depressive symptoms.
CONCLUSION: Post-stroke depressive symptoms form a complex and multifactorial problem. Treatment outcome is influenced by the characteristics of the stroke, the patient, and their spouse. The results show that psychological distress is probably no obstacle to attempting to improve participation. The personalized predictions (prognostic index scores) of treatment outcome show promising results, which, after further replication and validation, could aid clinicians with treatment selection.

Understanding the Independent Predictors of Dysphagia-Related Quality of Life in Stroke Survivors
CONCLUSION: Factors related to dysphagia-related QoL are multifactorial and include both survivor and spousal variables. The results of this exploratory study highlight the need for clinicians and researchers to consider patient function and needs more wholistically to maximize perceived QoL.PMID:35344388 | DOI:10.1044/2022_JSLHR-21-00502
