Incidence of post-stroke depression symptoms and potential risk factors in adults with aphasia in a comprehensive stroke center
CONCLUSIONS: These findings align with earlier evidence identifying aphasia as a risk factor for experiencing PSD symptoms and also suggest aphasia severity is proportionate to the risk. This highlights the need for early identification of PSD symptoms in persons with aphasia in order to provide timely interventions.PMID:35543182 | DOI:10.1080/10749357.2022.2070363

Effectiveness of non-pharmacological interventions for treating post-stroke depressive symptoms: Systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.
CONCLUSIONS: Complementary and alternative therapy and psychosocial therapy appear to be promising strategies for improving post-stroke depression. Future studies target  a personalized approach for people with specific conditions such as cognitive impairment. PMID: 32783504 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Validation of international stroke scales for use by nurses in Greek settings.
CONCLUSIONS: The Greek version of the stroke tools show that both SSS and BI have high internal consistency and reliability and together with the mRS could be used in any Greek stroke care delivery setting. PMID: 27680397 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Exploratory factor analysis of the reintegration to normal living index in a stroke population.
CONCLUSIONS: Previous factor analyses on the RNLI utilizing general disability samples commonly report a two-factor solution. Our data support the presence of a single factor solution across the RNLI within a large sample comprised exclusively of stroke survivors. This suggests that the RNLI acts as more of a unitary measure of quality of life within a stroke sample relative to other disabled samples. PMID: 27486007 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
