What helps confidence in communication - Perspectives of adults with aphasia: "Get maze …not stay out it"
CONCLUSIONS: To enhance confidence, speech-language pathologists could help PWA to develop strategies to deal with inevitable communication breakdowns. They could also support PWA to experience communication success in everyday situations and to advocate for themselves.PMID:37149934 | DOI:10.1016/j.jcomdis.2023.106334

Aphasia and friendship: Stroke survivors' self-reported changes over time
CONCLUSIONS: This work highlights lasting social implications of aphasia. The overall health of PWA deserves greater attention, including interventions targeting friendship maintenance and development. Continued stakeholder-engaged research and clinical practice focused on the social and emotional consequences of aphasia on PWA, as well as their friends and family, is needed to assist all involved in aphasia recovery achieve better friendships and well-being.PMID:37105058 | DOI:10.1016/j.jcomdis.2023.106330

Aphasia severity is modulated by race and lesion size in chronic survivors: A retrospective study
CONCLUSION: We suggest two explanations for the difference between Black and White SWA in the relationship between lesion size and aphasia severity. First, the impact of disparities in access to rehabilitation after stroke may be more evident when a stroke is larger and causes significant aphasia. Additionally, an assessment bias in aphasia outcome measures may be more evident with increasing severity of aphasia. Future studies should further discern the drivers of observed disparities in aphasia outcomes in order to identify opportunities to improve equity in aphasia care.PMID:36215784 | DOI:10.1016/j.jcomdis.2022.106270

Associations among depression, demographic variables, and language impairments in chronic post-stroke aphasia
CONCLUSIONS: The rate of depressive disorders in this sample was higher than rates of depression reported in the general stroke literature. Participant sex, age, and naming ability emerged as factors associated with depressive symptoms, though these links appear complex, especially given variable reports from prior research. Importantly, depressive symptoms do not appear to diminish over time for individuals with chronic aphasia. Given these results and the relatively limited documentation of depression in aphasia literature, depression remains a pressing concern for aphasia research and routine clinical care.PMID:36150239...
