Language abilities, not cognitive control, predict language mixing behavior in bilingual speakers with aphasia
CONCLUSIONS: Linguistic factors such as pre- and post-stroke self-rated language proficiency and level of language impairment due to aphasia were found to predict LM frequency in L1-Russian and in L2-Hebrew. Cognitive abilities did not predict LM frequency. Based on our findings, we suggest that LM behavior in BiPWAs might be primarily related to language skills in L1 and L2, rather than to cognitive control impairments.PMID:37579674 | DOI:10.1016/j.jcomdis.2023.106367

Using bibliotherapy to rebuild identity for people with aphasia: A book club experience
CONCLUSION: The themes align positively with outcomes associated with the bibliotherapy process. Themes also integrate into a self-management model that promotes self-efficacy through education, support, awareness, problem solving and goal setting. Caveats included determining participant readiness to examine recovery issues and facilitator preparation. Aphasia book clubs surrounding psychosocial texts may help PwA reconstruct a positive post-stroke identity.PMID:37517172 | DOI:10.1016/j.jcomdis.2023.106363

Perspectives of U.S. speech-language pathologists on supporting the psychosocial health of individuals with aphasia
CONCLUSIONS: This research highlights the necessity of increased training, as well as improved interprofessional collaboration between SLPs and mental health professionals. Limitations of the study include the potential bias of respondents, as well as the number and scope of the questions and responses. Future studies can employ interviews, trial models for collaboration, and partner with IWA to explore their experiences with psychosocial health support and services.PMID:37481944 | DOI:10.1016/j.jcomdis.2023.106365
