Deans' stroke musings: Development and validation of a quality of relationship intervention for stroke survivor-family caregiver dyads

Changing stroke rehab and research worldwide now.Time is Brain! trillions and trillions of neurons that DIE each day because there are NO effective hyperacute therapies besides tPA(only 12% effective). I have 523 posts on hyperacute therapy, enough for researchers to spend decades proving them out. These are my personal ideas and blog on stroke rehabilitation and stroke research. Do not attempt any of these without checking with your medical provider. Unless you join me in agitating, when you need these therapies they won't be there.

What this blog is for:

My blog is not to help survivors recover, it is to have the 10 million yearly stroke survivors light fires underneath their doctors, stroke hospitals and stroke researchers to get stroke solved. 100% recovery. The stroke medical world is completely failing at that goal, they don't even have it as a goal. Shortly after getting out of the hospital and getting NO information on the process or protocols of stroke rehabilitation and recovery I started searching on the internet and found that no other survivor received useful information. This is an attempt to cover all stroke rehabilitation information that should be readily available to survivors so they can talk with informed knowledge to their medical staff. It lays out what needs to be done to get stroke survivors closer to 100% recovery. It's quite disgusting that this information is not available from every stroke association and doctors group.

Development and validation of a quality of relationship intervention for stroke survivor-family caregiver dyads

You wouldn't have to do this research if you would work on the ONLY GOAL IN STROKE: 100% RECOVERY! Solve the correct problem, not this secondary issue. Your mentors and senior researchers need retraining in stroke, talk to them, it will show initiative on your part, leading from below.

Abstract:

Article describes the development and validation of an intervention targeted at stroke dyads and focused on strengthening the relationship between stroke survivors and family caregivers. It also describes the "tips" that survivors and family caregivers offered for dealing with relationship challenges after stroke. Content of the intervention, including relationship tips, was derived from semi-structured interviews with 19 stroke dyads. A modified Delphi process with a national panel of 10 subject matter experts was used to evaluate and refine the content of the intervention and the associated screening tool. Seventeen domains of relationship challenges and tips were identified. Consensus was reached among experts that the intervention content was: (1) relevant to the goal of helping survivors and family caregivers maintain a strong relationship after stroke; (2) clear from the perspective of stroke survivors and family caregivers who would be using it; (3) accurate with respect to the advice being offered, and (4) useful for helping stroke survivors and family caregivers improve the quality of their relationship. This study extends the limited body of research about dyadic interventions after stroke. The next steps in this line of research include feasibility testing the intervention and evaluating its efficacy in a larger trial.
