    • BACKGROUND: Stroke is a life-changing event for both stroke survivors and their family caregivers. After receiving acute care at the hospital, family members are expected to take care of stroke survivors at home and to continue treatment and rehabilitation. The new role of "informal caregiver" is a challenge that creates many difficulties for family caregivers that are not explicit in the Sri Lankan context. OBJECTIVES: This study aimed at exploring family caregivers' experiences of providing informal care for dependent stroke survivors. METHODS: The sample was chosen by purposive sampling with a maximum variation by age, ethnicity, religion, educational level, relationship, and monthly income. Ten informal family caregivers to stroke survivors with hemiplegia who had been treated at the National Hospital of Sri Lanka participated in in-depth interviews analyzed using conventional content analysis. RESULTS: Qualitative content analysis of data resulted in an overriding theme, "Caring with love, againstall odds," along with four categories, "Life alterations," "Lack of resources," "Compassionate care," and "Coping strategies." Although the increased workload, restricted social life, physical problems, and knowledge and financial deficits were challenging for the family caregivers, self-strength and supportive social networks helped them to compassionately care for their stroke survivor. CONCLUSIONS: The phenomenon of family caregivers providing informal care for stroke survivors was explicated as compassionate care, notwithstanding numerous difficulties. The findings motivate further research and strategies to minimize family caregivers' burden and facilitate the positive aspects of caregiving to promote the health and well-being of both stroke survivors and their families.

  • Very early cognitive screening and return to work after stroke
  • 2019
  • Ingår i: Topics in Stroke Rehabilitation. - : Informa UK Limited. - 1074-9357 .- 1945-5119. ; 26:8, s. 602-607
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • Background: Stroke is a common cause of long-term disability worldwide, and an increasing number of persons affected by stroke are of working age. In addition to physical impairments, a majority of patients reportedly suffer cognitive impairments after stroke. Reduced cognitive function may hinder poststroke return to work (RTW); however, most studies of this relationship have assessed cognitive function months after the stroke. Objectives: The current study aims to investigate the degree of post-stroke RTW, and whether very early cognitive function screening can predict RTW after a stroke. Methods: This study included 145 persons treated for stroke at 18-63 years of age at a large university hospital in Sweden between 2011 and 2016. Data were retrieved from the GOTVED database. Within 36-48 h after hospital admission, cognitive function was screened using the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA). Full and partial RTW were assessed based on the Swedish Social Insurance Agency's register. Logistic regression was performed to analyze the potential predictors of RTW at 6 months and 18 months. Results: Neither global cognitive function nor executive function at 36-48 h after stroke predicted any degree of RTW at 6 or 18 months. Male sex, lower stroke severity, and not being on sick leave prior to stroke were significant predictors of RTW. Conclusions: Screening for cognitive impairments at 36-48-h post stroke is apparently too early for predicting RTW, and thus cannot be the sole basis for discharge planning after stroke. Additional research is needed to further analyze cognitive function early after stroke and RTW.

  • The effect of pelvic floor muscle training on sexual function in men with lower urinary tract symptoms after stroke
  • 2015
  • Ingår i: Topics in Stroke Rehabilitation. - 1074-9357. ; 22:3, s. 185-193
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • Background: Erectile dysfunction and lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) are common sequelae in men after stroke. Objective: The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) on measured erectile function as an indicator of sexuality in men with LUTS after stroke. Method: A sample of 516 men with stroke was invited to participate in this single-blinded, randomized controlled trial according to in- and exclusion criteria. This resulted in 31 participants who were randomized to either a Treatment Group (n=16) or a Control Group (n=15). The intervention included 12weeks of PFMT. The effect was measured on the International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF-5) questionnaire. Results: Thirty participants (median age: 68 years; interquartile range: 60-74 years) completed the study, 15 in each group. The results of the IIEF-5 sum score showed a significant improvement (P<0.04) from pre-test to post-test in the Treatment Group, but not in the Control Group. Within pre-test and 6-month follow-up, the median sum score decreased in both groups, worsened in the Control Group [ Treatment Group, 3 (17%) versus Control Group, 5 (31%)]. There were differences between the groups at post-test and at follow-up, but they were not statistically significant. Conclusion: The results showed that, as measured by erectile function in men with LUTS after stroke, PFMT may have short-term and long-term effect, although no statistically significant effect was demonstrated between the groups.
