[PMID: 39028188 DOI: 10.1080/09638288.2024.2379024] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/19/2023] [Accepted: 07/08/2024] [Indexed: 07/20/2024]
Abstract
PURPOSE People who survive a subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH) often face enduring health challenges including physical disability, fatigue, cognitive impairments, psychological difficulties, and reduced quality of life. While group interventions have shown positive results in addressing similar issues in chronic conditions, the evidence involving SAH specifically is still sparse. This service evaluation aimed to explore SAH survivors' experiences of attending a multidisciplinary group-based support programme tailored to address unmet needs identified in previous literature, with the ultimate aim to refine future iterations of the programme and improve quality of care post-SAH. MATERIALS AND METHODS Semi-structured interviews were carried out with 12 individuals who attended the programme. The resulting data were analysed thematically. RESULTS Four overarching themes emerged from the analysis: (1) Barriers to accessing support after a SAH, (2) Factors acting as enablers of recovery, (3) Sharing lived experience to support one another, (4) Feeling connected while navigating a group format. CONCLUSIONS Lack of communication, fear, loneliness, and cognitive impairments can act as barriers to engagement with support, while acceptance and adjustment, holistic multidisciplinary input, and psychological support may represent successful enablers of recovery. Implications for future iterations of the programme as well as clinical rehabilitation and service development are discussed.

Prevalence of depression and anxiety symptoms after stroke in young adults: A systematic review and meta-analysis. J Stroke Cerebrovasc Dis 2024; 33:107732. [PMID: 38657829 DOI: 10.1016/j.jstrokecerebrovasdis.2024.107732] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/06/2024] [Revised: 04/15/2024] [Accepted: 04/21/2024] [Indexed: 04/26/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Young adults with stroke have distinct professional and social roles making them vulnerable to symptoms of post-stroke depression (PSD) and post-stroke anxiety (PSA). Prior reviews have examined the prevalence of anxiety and depression in stroke populations. However, there are a lack of studies that have focused on these conditions in young adults. OBJECTIVE We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis of observational studies that reported on symptoms of PSD, PSA and comorbid PSD/PSA in young adults aged 18 to 55 years of age. METHODS MEDLINE, EMBASE, SCOPUS and PsycINFO were searched for studies reporting the prevalence of symptoms of PSD and/or PSA in young adults with stroke from inception until June 23, 2023. We included studies that evaluated depression and/or anxiety symptoms with screening tools or interviews following ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke. Validated methods were employed to evaluate risk of bias. RESULTS 4748 patients from twenty eligible studies were included. Among them, 2420 were also evaluated for symptoms of PSA while 847 participants were evaluated for both PSD and PSA symptoms. Sixteen studies were included in the random effects meta-analysis for PSD symptoms, with a pooled prevalence of 31 % (95 % CI 24-38 %). Pooled PSA symptom prevalence was 39 % (95 % CI 30-48 %) and comorbid PSD with PSA symptom prevalence was 25 % (95 % CI 12-39 %). Varying definitions of 'young adult', combinations of stroke subtypes, and methods to assess PSD and PSA contributed to high heterogeneity amongst studies. CONCLUSIONS We identified high heterogeneity in studies investigating the prevalence of symptoms of PSD and PSA in young adults, emphasizing the importance of standardized approaches in future research to gain insight into the outcomes and prognosis of PSD and PSA symptoms following stroke in young adults. Larger longitudinal epidemiological studies as well as studies on tailored interventions are required to address the mental health needs of this important population. FUNDING None.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Depression commonly occurs after aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage (aSAH) which can negatively impact patients and their caregivers. Identification and validation of depression screening instruments specifically for patients with aSAH and their caregivers has not been performed. OBJECTIVES The objectives of this study were to identify the common depression screening tools in patients with aSAH and their caregivers and to determine if they are validated for use in these populations. METHODS Medical Subject Headings and keyword search terms were used in five electronic databases to identify randomised controlled, quasi-experimental and observational studies published between 1 January 2010 and 26 June 2022. Screening, data extraction and study quality assessments were conducted by two independent reviewers. RESULTS Of the 3440 identified studies, 61 met inclusion, with 2 of 61 (3%) RCTs, 2 of 61 (3%) quasi-experimental, and 57 of 61 (93%) observational studies included. The majority of studies (58/61 [95%]) reported patient-only depression screening, 1 of 61 (2%) reported both patients' and caregivers' depression screening, and 2 of 61 (3%) reported caregiver-only depression screening. Nine depression screening instruments were identified. The Beck Depression Inventory-II (BDI-II) was the most commonly used (13/59; 22%), followed by the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) (12/59; 20%). In the ischaemic stroke population, the BDI-II was reported to have excellent sensitivity (0.85) and specificity (0.75); the HADS was also found to have good sensitivity (0.62) and specificity (0.83) in the ischaemic stroke population. Only two depression screening instruments for caregivers were identified: HADS and Goldberg Depression Scale. Both were found to have good sensitivity (>0.80) and specificity (>0.80) in the general population. CONCLUSION The BDI-II and HADS were the most commonly used depression screening instruments in patients with aSAH. Neither of these instruments has been specifically validated in an aSAH population. None of the nine depression instruments were validated for patients with aSAH. Due to an insufficient number of studies in caregivers' population, validity was unable to be determined.

Abstract
Subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is a medical emergency that requires immediate intervention. The etiology varies between cases; however, rupture of an intracranial aneurysm accounts for 80% of medical emergencies. Early intervention and treatment are essential to prevent long-term complications. Over the years, treatment of SAH has drastically improved, which is responsible for the rapid rise in SAH survivors. Post-SAH, a significant number of patients exhibit impairments in memory and executive function and report high rates of depression and anxiety that ultimately affect daily living, return to work, and quality of life. Given the rise in SAH survivors, rehabilitation post-SAH to optimize patient outcomes becomes crucial. The review addresses the current rehabilitative strategies to combat the neurocognitive and behavioral issues that may arise following SAH.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Psychological distress is a common complication in patients after Subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH) which often has significant impact on the prognosis. The objective of this study was to determine the pooled prevalence of anxiety symptoms and depressive symptoms in patients after SAH and identify relevant risk factors. METHODS The study adopted a systematic review and meta-analysis protocol. Multiple databases including EMBASE, Medline, PsychInfo, and Web of Science were searched for publications before 1st January 2020. Screening, data extraction, and quality assessment were undertaken following the PRISMA guidelines for preferred reporting of systematic reviews and meta-analysis. The random-effects model was used to calculate pooled prevalence rates. Meta-analysis was conducted using Comprehensive Meta-analysis software. The review protocol was registered on PROSPERO (CRD42020182594). RESULTS 42 studies reporting anxiety symptoms and 64 studies reporting depressive symptoms were included. The pooled short term(<3 years) and long term(≥3 years) prevalence rates of anxiety symptoms were 31.4%(95% CI: 23.6%, 40.4%) and 40.4%(95% CI: 31.6%, 49.8%), respectively, whereas the pooled short term and long term prevalence rates of depressive symptoms were 25.2%(95%CI: 17.8%, 34.5%) and 35.8%(95%CI: 28.6%, 43.6%), respectively. Gender and pre-existing psychiatric conditions were identified as potential risk factors. CONCLUSIONS The high prevalence of anxiety symptoms and depressive symptoms after SAH highlights the need for appropriate assessment and management of psychological stress in patients after SAH. Further research is warranted to explore potential underlying mechanisms and to develop holistic interventions that incorporate understanding of both the biological and psychological impact of SAH.

Abstract
Background and Purpose Depression is common and debilitating illness accompanying many neurological disorders including non-traumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). The aim of this systematic review was to identify and critically appraise all published studies that have reported the frequency, severity and time course of depression after SAH, the factors associated with its development and the impact of depression on patients’ quality of life after SAH.
Methods The PubMed database was searched for studies published in English that recruited at least 40 patients (>18 years old) after SAH who were also diagnosed with depression.
Results Altogether 55 studies covering 6,327 patients met study entry criteria. The frequency of depression ranged from 0% to 61.7%, with a weighted proportion of 28.1%. Depression remained common even several years after the index SAH. Depression after SAH was associated with female sex, premorbid depression, anxiety, substance use disorders or any psychiatric disorders, and coping styles. Comorbid cognitive impairment, fatigue, and physical disability also increased the risk of depression. Aneurysmal SAH and infarction may be related to depression as well. Depression reduces the quality of life and life satisfaction in patients after SAH.
Conclusions Depression is common after SAH and seems to persist. Further research is needed to clarify its time course and identify the neuroendocrine and neurochemical factors and brain circuits associated with the development of post-SAH depression. Randomized controlled treatment trials targeting SAH-related depression are warranted.

Abstract
Psychiatric disorders often develop after subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH); the most frequent of them are depression and depression-related disorders (anxiety, apathy, pathological fatigue, posttraumatic stress disorder, etc.). Both biological and psychological mechanisms may underlie the development of these disorders. Depression and depression-related disorders decrease patients' quality of life and prevent the full recovery after SAH. Identification and correction of these disorders should take a prominent place in the rehabilitation of post-SAH patients. More research is needed in this area.
