Illness beliefs and emotional responses in mildly disabled stroke survivors: A qualitative study

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases Nov 01, 2019

Vecchia CD, Préau M, Carpentier C, et al. - Persons with mild stroke were examined for cognitive illness beliefs and emotional responses and for their possible influences on daily coping. Twenty-four persons with mild stroke were assessed via semi-structured interviews on average 7.5 months (±0.89) after stroke occurrence. Although participants had mild disabilities, difficulties were reported in developing illness beliefs conducive to coping and dealing with their emotional responses. Researchers recommend considering these elements in tailored programs to improve coping with hidden disabilities poststroke. More difficulties were perceived by participants who considered stroke a chronic condition. They identified the benefits of perceived support from relatives and healthcare providers for participation in recovery and health behavior change.
