Concerns about medications mediate the association of posttraumatic stress disorder with adherence to medication in stroke survivors.
CONCLUSION: Increased concerns about medications explain a significant proportion of the association between PTSD symptoms and non-adherence to medication in stroke survivors. STATEMENT OF CONTRIBUTION: What is already known on this subject? Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is common after cardiovascular events, including stroke and transient ischemic attack. PTSD due to non-stroke cardiovascular events is associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease recurrence and mortality. PTSD due to stroke is associated with increased risk for medication nonadherence in stroke survivors. What does this study add? While...

Evaluation of an ICF-based patient education programme for stroke patients: A randomized, single-blinded, controlled, multicentre trial of the effects on self-efficacy, life satisfaction and functioning.
CONCLUSION: There was no significant benefit of the ICF-based patient education in comparison with an attention-placebo control group. Considering the importance of the programme for the further implementation of the ICF and the need of developing effective health education interventions for stroke, the methodology used was reviewed and an updated version proposed. STATEMENT OF CONTRIBUTION: What is already known on this subject?

Pregnancy-related stroke through a neuropsychology lens
Conclusions: Pregnancy-related stroke can be associated with marked functional disability and decreased quality of life, and it is notable that prevalence rates are increasing. Presenting at a time when people are experiencing adjustment to a new phase of life, and most commonly affecting women of color and other vulnerable populations, pregnancy-related stroke is a unique condition warranting special attention within the broader stroke discourse. This review aims to serve as a starting point for neuropsychologists to better understand the unique attributes of pregnancy-related stroke through a neuropsychology lens. Beyond...

An Examination of a Simplified Stroke Rehabilitation Program for Reducing Family Caregiver ’s Burden for Stroke Patients in Rural China
AbstractWith stroke being one of the leading causes of disability worldwide, families and social systems may face strain as they adjust to a caregiving role. This strain may be amplified in family systems living in rural areas due to limited access to resources. Thus, it is important for helping professionals such as couple, marriage, and family therapists to understand what facets of this disability are linked with caregiver strain as well as to explore and understand various interventions that may ease caregiver burden. Using existing data from 177 pairs of stroke patients and their family caregivers in rural Mainland Ch...

Children with perinatal stroke are at increased risk for autism spectrum disorder: Prevalence and co-occurring conditions within a clinically followed sample
DISCUSSION: Children with perinatal stroke have an increased prevalence of ASD (11.4%) than in the general population. ASD concerns arise at a similar age as the general population, yet ASD is diagnosed almost two years later than the general population and 3.60 years after first concerns present. Co-occurring neurological conditions are common. Clinicians must be aware of increased prevalence and implement screening as part of routine care for all pediatric patients with perinatal stroke.PMID:34308766 | DOI:10.1080/13854046.2021.1955150

Depression after Minor Stroke: Prevalence and Predictors
: Severity of stroke and disability after stroke are major predictors of post-stroke depression (PSD). The prevalence of PSD in patients with minor stroke is expected to be low because minor stroke is characterized by mild neurological dysfunction. The aim of this study is to investigate the prevalence and predictors of PSD in patients with minor ischemic stroke.

Neuropsychological outcome following thalamic stroke in adolescence: an identical twin comparison.
CONCLUSIONS: These results suggest risk for deficits in encoding of new verbal information following bilateral thalamic stroke in adolescence, as well as risk for persistent cognitive deficits despite initial improvements. This is consistent with descriptions of anterograde memory impairments in adults with similar lesions. PMID: 30472911 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
