Introduction Cerebral insults lead in many cases not only to cognitive impairment but also disturbed emotionality. After stroke, one three survivors develops a depression which impacts quality of life and rehabilitation. Meta-analyses have identified five main predictors post-stroke (PSD): history mental disorder, stroke severity, physical disability, impairment, social support. However, these established variables never been conjointly investigated sample survivors. Therefore, their...
Self-discrepancy, i.e., negative changes in self-concept, is a common post-stroke phenomenon which closely associated with depression and quality of life. In earlier research, self-discrepancy has been measured the 18-item seven-stepped Head Injury Semantic Differential Scale (HISDS-III), by comparing pre- post-morbid self-concepts. As completing this scale may be demanding especially for cognitively impaired stroke survivors, straightforward instrument desirable. Therefore, validity...
Post-stroke depression (PSD) is the most frequent psychiatric condition after stroke with a prevalence of approximately 33%. In general population, consistently reported to be more in women than men. Evidence about gender differences PSD remains inconclusive and it unknown if established risk factors exert gender-specific influence. The authors examined prevalence, persistence influence using χ2- Welch's t-tests continuous-time structural equation modelling (CT-SEM). Patients (N = 301) from...
Background The uptake of proven stroke treatments varies widely. We aimed to determine the association evidence‐based processes care for acute ischemic ( AIS ) and clinical outcome patients who participated in HEADPOST (Head Positioning Acute Stroke Trial), a multicenter cluster crossover trial lying flat versus sitting up, head positioning stroke. Methods Results Use 8 were considered: reperfusion therapy eligible patients; unit care; antihypertensive, antiplatelet, statin, anticoagulation...
Background While depression after stroke is common and prevalence globally increases in working age populations, the role of return-to-work (RTW) pathogenesis post-stroke (PSD) remains unclear. This study examined if RTW linked to PSD within first year ischemic stroke, independently from established risk factors.Method Stroke survivors (n = 176) their (<65 years) recruited two rehabilitation clinics were assessed for factors: pre-stroke depression, activities daily living, severity,...
This study aims to identify individual determinants of antidepressant treatment and outpatient rehabilitation after stroke. People with ischemic stroke ( N = 303) recruited at 2 inpatient clinics were included into a prospective longitudinal follow-up telephone interviews 6 12 months later. Participants reported on their use medication psychotherapy as well physical, occupational, speech, neuropsychological therapy. The antidepressants discharge n 65, 23.8%) was predicted by the severity...
Post-stroke depression (PSD) is the most frequent mental illness after stroke, affecting about 30% of stroke survivors and hampering rehabilitation outcome. While current guidelines recommend monitored antidepressant treatment (ADT) in PSD, limited precision between use need ADT clinical practice remains underassessed poorly understood.Depression according to DSM criteria was assessed n = 294 from two German centers one, six, twelve months stroke. At each measurement occasion, PSD assessed,...
Zusammenfassung. Während Frauen in der Allgemeinbevölkerung ein höheres Depressionsrisiko aufweisen als Männer, ist die Forschungslage zu Geschlechterunterschieden nach Schlaganfall heterogen. Die vorliegende Längsschnittstudie untersucht Geschlechterunterschiede Häufigkeit von depressiven Störungen und Symptomen Schlaganfall. An zwei deutschen Rehabilitationszentren wurden N = 174 Schlaganfallpatienten -patientinnen 1 (n 72 weiblich) rekrutiert etablierte Risikofaktoren erfasst....
