'Emotion is of the essence. … Number one priority': A nested qualitative study exploring psychosocial adjustment to stroke and aphasia
CONCLUSIONS & IMPLICATIONS: To promote adjustment in the acute phase, hospital staff should prioritize the humanizing aspects of care provision. In the post-acute phase, clinicians play an integral role in supporting adjustment and can help by focusing on relationship-centred care, monitoring mental health, promoting quality improvement across the continuum of care and supporting advocacy. What this paper adds What is already known on the subject Anxiety and depression are common consequences of stroke, with depression rates high at 33% at 1 year post-onset. There is evidence that the psychological needs of people with aph...

Screening for silent aspiration in hyperacute stroke: A feasibility study of clinical swallowing examination and cough reflex testing
CONCLUSIONS & IMPLICATIONS: CRT, CSE and FEES are feasible in 58% of hyperacute stroke patients in this setting. FEES anxiety is the main recruitment barrier and is not always well tolerated. Results support further work to establish optimum methods and differential sensitivity/specificity of CRT and CSE in hyperacute stroke for SA identification.WHAT THIS PAPER ADDS: What is already known on this subject SA significantly increases the risk of pneumonia in the early days post-stroke. CSEs are unreliable for identification of SA risk in this population. CRT is gaining popularity as a potential tool to identify stroke patien...

Telling the Story of Stroke When It's Hard to Talk
Illness narratives may be told in various contexts and are reported to be associated with a variety of positive health outcomes, such as fewer doctors' office visits. The story of stroke onset can be highly varied among people without language impairments, seeming to reflect the way the individual is understanding and adapting to living with the consequences of stroke. Although individuals with aphasia due to stroke appear to have the linguistic capability to construct the typical forms included in a stroke narrative, it is unknown whether the range of narrative styles among individuals with aphasia parallels those produce...

Progression of Aphasia Severity in the Chronic Stages of Stroke.
Conclusions Factors that significantly influence language recovery in chronic aphasia include stroke age and receiving aphasia treatment. For those with diabetes, increased exercise was shown to improve outcomes. Results from this study offer clinicians greater insight into the influence of patient factors on long-term recovery from stroke aphasia while suggesting a potential adjunct to language therapy: exercise.

Dysphagia and Associated Pneumonia in Stroke Patients from Brazil: A Systematic Review
AbstractDysphagia and its associated complications are expected to be relatively more frequent in stroke patients in Brazil than in similar patients treated in developed countries due to the suboptimal stroke care in many Brazilians medical services. However, there is no estimate of dysphagia and pneumonia incidence for the overall stroke population in Brazil. We conducted a systematic review of the recent literature to address this knowledge gap, first screening citations for relevance and then rating full articles of accepted citations. At both levels, judgements were made by two independent raters according to a priori ...

A Taxonomy of Brain-Behavior Relationships After Stroke.
Conclusions Organizing the various hypothesized brain-behavior relationships according to this framework and considering the mechanisms that drive these relationships may help investigators develop specific experimental designs and more complete statistical models to explain language and cognitive abilities after stroke. Eight main recommendations for future research are provided. Presentation Video https://doi.org/10.23641/asha.10257578. PMID: 31756155 [PubMed - in process]

Practice Patterns and Attitudes Among Speech –Language Pathologists Treating Stroke Patients with Dysphagia: A Nationwide Survey
AbstractDysphagia management is a core component of quality stroke care. Speech –Language Pathologists (SLPs) play a key role in the management of post-stroke dysphagia. We sought to elicit perceptions, attitudes, and practice patterns regarding post-stroke dysphagia management among SLPs in the United States. We conducted a survey among SLPs registered with the American Spee ch–Language–Hearing Association who indicated that they care for acute stroke patients. A total of 336 participants completed the survey. Over half of the participants (58.6%) indicated that they obtain objective swallow testing in ≥ 60% o...
