Self-management: challenges for allied healthcare professionals in stroke rehabilitation - a focus group study.
Conclusion: Professional perceptions and beliefs are important factors to take into account when implementing stroke self-management programmes. Before professionals can enable stroke survivors to self-manage, they first need support in acquiring knowledge and skills regarding post-stroke self-management. Moreover, professionals could benefit from behavioural change models, and professionals recognised that stroke self-management interventions would be most beneficial when delivered post-discharge at people's homes. Implications for Rehabilitation Post-stroke self-management is a learning process with different levels depe...

Family History of Stroke Among African Americans and Its Association With Risk Factors, Knowledge, Perceptions, and Exercise.
CONCLUSIONS:: Family history of stroke was common in this sample; however, it did not translate into better understanding of stroke or better exercise behaviors and intentions. More can be done to identify African Americans with a FHS, especially those with multiple risk factors, to educate them about the significance of FHS while promoting lifestyle change and self-management.

New Watchman study reports positive data
New data from a study of Boston Scientific (NYSE:BSX)’s Watchman left atrial appendage closure device reports positive results in a study comparing it to warfarin, an anticoagulant drug treatment, in patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation. The 2,406-patient study, published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology, reported a lower rate of hemorrhagic strokes, unexplained and cardiovascular death and non-procedural bleeding when compared to warfarin. “I think the fact that we now actually have some good scientific data in the field is terribly important, it has been lacking. But I think we...

Incongruence Between Perceived Long-Term Risk and Actual Risk of Stroke in Rural African Americans
ABSTRACT: Stroke has increased among young adults. In addition, the accuracy by which African Americans perceive their risk of stroke is unclear. The purpose of the study was to examine the accuracy of perceived stroke risk of African Americans aged 19–54 years. A descriptive-correlational design was used. Accuracy of perceived stroke risk was determined by comparing perceived risk with actual risk. Participants (N = 66) had a mean age of 43.3 (SD = 9.4) years and were mostly female, high school graduates, and unemployed. Most (66%) perceived themselves as having no/low risk of future stroke. However, actual risk factors...

Promoting Evidence-Based Practice at a Primary Stroke Center: A Nurse Education Strategy.
DISCUSSION: This nurse education strategy increased RNs' confidence in ability to explain the path from evidence to bedside nursing care by demonstrating how evidence-based clinical practice guidelines provide current evidence used to create standardized order sets. Although further evaluation of the intervention's effectiveness is needed, this educational intervention has the potential for generalization to different types of standardized order sets to increase nurse confidence in utilization of evidence-based practice.

Promoting Evidence-Based Practice at a Primary Stroke Center: A Nurse Education Strategy
Background: Promoting a culture of evidence-based practice within a health care facility is a priority for health care leaders and nursing professionals; however, tangible methods to promote translation of evidence to bedside practice are lacking. Objectives: The purpose of this quality improvement project was to design and implement a nursing education intervention demonstrating to the bedside nurse how current evidence-based guidelines are used when creating standardized stroke order sets at a primary stroke center, thereby increasing confidence in the use of standardized order sets at the point of care and supporting e...

Personality traits as risk factors for stroke and coronary heart disease mortality: pooled analysis of three cohort studies
We examined whether personality traits are differently associated with coronary heart disease and stroke mortality. Participants were pooled from three prospective cohort studies (Health and Retirement Study, Wisconsin Longitudinal Study graduate and sibling samples; n = 24,543 men and women, mean age 61.4 years, mortality follow-up between 3 and 15 years). There were 423 coronary heart disease deaths and 88 stroke deaths during 212,542 person-years at risk. Higher extraversion was associated with an increased risk of stroke (hazard ratio per each standard deviation increase in personality trait HR = 1.41, 95 % CI 1...

Call for human contact and support: an interview study exploring patients' experiences with inpatient stroke rehabilitation and their perception of nurses' and nurse assistants' roles and functions.
CONCLUSION: The findings deepen our understanding of how patients experience inpatient rehabilitation. The patients struggled with existential thoughts and concerns about the future and therefore called for human contact and support from the nursing staff. They perceived the nursing staff as mostly polite and helpful, but were unclear about the nursing staff's function in rehabilitation which, in the patients' perspective, equals physical training. Implications for Rehabilitation Nursing staff need to pay attention to the patients' needs, existential thoughts and concerns during inpatient rehabilitation. Meaningful goals f...
