A Prediction Model of Rehabilitation Motivation in Middle-Aged Survivors of Stroke in Rehabilitation Facilities in Korea
Background To improve the health outcomes of survivors of stroke, it is critical that they are highly motivated to engage in rehabilitation activities. Despite the increasing prevalence of strokes among middle-aged adults, there is limited knowledge regarding factors that may affect survivors' motivation to engage in rehabilitation. Objective The aim of this study was to examine the relationship among factors that predict the rehabilitation motivation of middle-aged survivors after a stroke through structural equation modeling. Methods A total of 200 middle-aged (40–64 years) survivors of stroke from 9 rehabilita...

Earlier thrombolytic treatment is associated with better outcomes following acute ischaemic stroke
Commentary on Saver JL, Fonarow GC, Smith EE, et al.. Time to treatment with intravenous tissue plasminogen activator and outcome from acute ischaemic stroke, JAMA 2013;309:2480–8. Implications for practice and research Optimisation is necessary in public education and hospital triage of the identification of factors such as arrival by ambulance and the importance of requesting emergency medical services (EMS) at scene of the stroke occurrence.1 The results of previous studies suggest that a disparity, observed between hospital-based outcomes for admissions that presented during regular hours and off hours, is not se...

Quality of life in stroke survivor–caregiver dyads: a new conceptual framework and longitudinal study protocol
This study seeks to identify variables in the pre‐existing situation prior to the stroke (e.g. living condition), the new situation mediation poststroke (e.g. type of stroke and caregiver burden) as well as situation moderators (e.g. social support) that influence stroke survivor‐caregiver dyad's quality of life across the stroke trajectory. Also, the study will inform clinical practice and research by identifying variables that are potentially modifiable and therefore amenable to intervention. The proposed framework will also be helpful for future research focused on stroke survivor–caregiver dyads.

A Community ‐Engaged Assessment of Barriers and Facilitators to Rapid Stroke Treatment
Abstract Treatment for acute ischemic stroke must be initiated within hours of stroke symptom onset, and the sooner it is administered, the better. In South Carolina, 76% of the population can access expert stroke care, and rural hospitals may provide specialized treatment using telemedicine, but many stroke sufferers seek care too late to achieve full benefit. Using a community‐engaged approach in a southern rural community, we explored barriers and facilitators to early stroke care and implications for improvement. The Community‐Engaged Assessment to facilitate Stroke Elimination (CEASE) study was guided by a communi...

Racial Disparities in Stroke Readmissions Reduced in Hospitals With Better Nurse Staffing
Discussion Disparities in readmissions between Black and White stroke patients may be linked to the level of nurse staffing in the hospitals where they receive care. Tailoring nurse staffing levels to meet the needs of Black ischemic stroke patients represents a promising intervention to address systemic inequities linked to readmission disparities among minority stroke patients.
