Health literacy is associated with less depression symptoms, higher perceived recovery, higher perceived participation, and walking ability one year after stroke - a cross-sectional study
CONCLUSION: The association between health literacy and mental, physical, and social functioning 12-months post-discharge suggests that health literacy is an important factor to consider in post-stroke rehabilitation. Longitudinal studies of health literacy in people with stroke are warranted to explore the underlying reasons for these associations.PMID:36803670 | DOI:10.1080/10749357.2023.2178133

Sexuality & gt;1 year after brain injury rehabilitation: A cross-sectional study in Sweden
