The role of emotion regulation on social participation following stroke.
This study highlights the potential for developing a behaviour change intervention to address emotion regulation difficulties and thus ensuring individuals maximize their potential rehabilitation outcome. Cautions of the study for consideration Emotion regulation was a self-report measure, and proxy measures would have been desirable. We are unable to establish if the post-stroke individuals differed from the controls on their emotion regulation prior to stroke. PMID: 25272054 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

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...

Clock Drawing Test in acute stroke and its relationship with long-term functional and cognitive outcomes.
CONCLUSION: Performance on the CDT in acute stroke is related to long-term outcomes including patients' degree of independence in performing activities of daily living, the degree to which they achieved reintegration into daily occupations, and the degree of cognitive decline observed one-year post-stroke. Future studies are needed to clarify the nature of the relationship between different CDT scoring systems and post-stroke outcomes. PMID: 29985104 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Functional Stroke Mimics: Incidence and Characteristics at a Primary Stroke Center in the Middle East
Conclusions FSM frequencies varied by nationality, with Arab and African nationals being twice as prevalent. Stress, vulnerable status as expats, sociopolitical instability, and exposure to trauma are proposed as potential factors contributing to FSM.

Association Between Optimism and Incident Stroke Among Stroke Survivors: Findings From the English Longitudinal Study of Ageing
CONCLUSIONS: Higher trait optimism was associated with reduced stroke risk. This association was partially mediated by physical activity albeit the effect was small, and caution warranted inferring causality. The interplay of personality, behavior, and clinical risk factors in stroke incidence and survivorship needs further investigation.PMID:37706520 | DOI:10.1093/abm/kaad051

Ipsilesional Bias and Processing Speed are Important Predictors of Functional Dependency in the Neglect Phenomenon After a Right Hemisphere Stroke.
This study examined the relative importance of different core symptoms of VSN as predictors of functional dependency. A consecutive series of 105 right hemisphere stroke patients were tested early after stroke on three basic symptoms of VSN (omissions, asymmetry of omissions and ipsilesional bias of attention) and on two symptoms related to VSN (processing speed and repetitive target detections in visual search). Neurological deficits were also assessed. Functional outcome was measured 3 months and 2 years after stroke with the modified Rankin Scale. Univariate analyses revealed significant relationships with functional ou...

The effect of serifs and stroke contrast on low vision reading
CONCLUSION: In people with low visual acuity caused by ADOA, the combination of serifs and a uniform stroke width resulted in better text legibility than other combinations of uniform/variable stroke widths and presence/absence of serifs.PMID:36563495 | DOI:10.1016/j.actpsy.2022.103810

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? Stroke survivors frequently report dissatisfaction about content, delivery and timing of information provision on several aspects of the disease as well as on available support. Although several i...

Post-traumatic growth in stroke carers: A comparison of theories.
CONCLUSIONS: The findings add to the limited body of evidence suggesting that stroke carers experience growth. Deliberate rumination and social support are important in explaining growth, and the findings support the model proposed by Tedeschi and Calhoun over that of Schaefer and Moos. STATEMENT OF CONTRIBUTION: What is already known on this subject? Literature on caring for stroke survivors focuses on negative outcomes (Ilse, Feys, de Wit, Putman, & de Weerdt, 2008) to the exclusion of positive outcomes such as post-traumatic growth (PTG; Calhoun & Tedeschi, 1999). Studies of a variety of health conditions h...
