Abstract: 

 Study used ecological momentary assessment (EMA) to examine real-time relationships between social interactions and post stroke mood and post stroke symptoms of pain, fatigue, anxiety, and depression. EMA is a method of intensive, repeated measurement that is useful for assessing temporal relationships between variables across hours or days in one’s natural environment. Forty-eight adults with mild stroke completed smartphone-based EMA surveys 5 times a day for 2 weeks. Each survey included EMA measures of self-appraisal of social interactions (confidence, satisfaction, and success), as well as mood (depression and anxiety) and somatic (pain and fatigue) symptoms. Multilevel models were used to analyze the data for concurrent and lagged associations. In concurrent associations, increased depressed mood was associated with reduced ratings of all aspects of social interactions. Fatigue was associated with reduced ratings of social satisfaction and success. In lagged associations, increased anxious mood preceded increased subsequent social confidence. Higher average social satisfaction, confidence, and success were related to lower momentary fatigue, anxious mood, and depressed mood at the next time point. Regarding clinicodemographic factors, being employed was concurrently related to increased social interactions. An increased number of comorbidities predicted higher somatic, but not mood, symptoms at the next time point. This study provides preliminary evidence of dynamic relationships between social interactions and somatic and mood symptoms in individuals with mild stroke.
