Deans' stroke musings: SOCIAL SUPPORT AND OCCUPATIONAL ASPECTS OF ADULTS AFTER STROKE

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.

SOCIAL SUPPORT AND OCCUPATIONAL ASPECTS OF ADULTS AFTER STROKE

Working on this secondary problem would not need to be done if you solved the primary goal. 100% recovery for all.

Abstract: The objective of this study was to analyze the relationship between the perception of social support and occupational aspects of young adults after stroke. A cross-sectional design was adopted. A social support scale (EPSUS-A) and a demographic questionnaire were used to assess variables. Participants were 20 adults, aged 18 to 45 years, with a diagnosis of stroke, of whom 65% were women, the mean age was 37.6 years, and the mean education level was 9.35 years. Results showed that participants perceived receiving positive social support after stroke. There was a significant relation between return to work and perceived social support. These results suggest that assessment of perception of low social support could be a useful tool to identify people with difficulties to return to work. In addition, as it seems that the majority of this group consisted of women within the productive age range, it appears that stroke-preventive actions should be addressed for this group as well.
