Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to investigate the knowledge, attitude and practice (KAP) of poststroke depression (PSD) among patients with PSD and their family members. DESIGN Web-based cross-sectional study. SETTING This study was conducted in Heilongjiang Province between October 2022 and April 2023. PARTICIPANTS Patients with PSD and their family members. PRIMARY AND SECONDARY OUTCOME MEASURES KAP scores. METHOD The self-administered questionnaire comprised demographic characteristics, knowledge dimension, attitude dimension and practice dimensions. RESULTS A total of 489 valid questionnaires were collected, with the average age of the subjects was 54.68±13.80 years, and including 258 (53.09%) patients who had a stroke. The mean scores for KAP were 6.36±2.66 (possible range: 0-10), 29.07±5.18 (possible range: 8-40) and 37.50±8.49 (possible range: 10-50), respectively. Concerning KAP scores, no differences were found between patients with PSD and their family members. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that retirement (OR=0.29, 95% CI 0.11 to 0.77, p=0.012) and monthly income less than ¥2000 (OR=0.46, 95% CI 0.27, 0.79, p=0.005) were independently associated with adequate knowledge. Knowledge (OR=2.12, 95% CI 1.44 to 3.14, p<0.001) was independently associated with positive attitude. Knowledge (OR=3.85, 95% CI 2.53 to 5.86, p<0.001) and attitude (OR=1.62, 95% CI 1.06 to 2.47, p=0.024) were independently associated with proactive practice. CONCLUSION Patients and their family members had insufficient knowledge, positive attitude and moderate practice towards PSD. Retirement and low monthly income were associated with insufficient knowledge, while knowledge was associated with positive attitude and proactive practice.

Abstract
Post-stroke cognitive impairment, depression, and fatigue are common, persistent, and disabling. This review summarizes current knowledge on the pathophysiology, assessment, and management of these debilitating neuropsychiatric sequelae of stroke. We briefly review evolving knowledge on the neural mechanisms and risk factors for each condition. We describe patient-reported outcome measures and clinician rating techniques that can be used to assist in screening and comprehensive assessment. We then discuss behavioral and pharmacologic management strategies. Heterogeneity of stroke remains a challenge in management and new research is still needed to optimize and personalize treatments for stroke survivors.

Abstract
Post-stroke depression is commonly experienced by stroke survivors and has a significant negative impact on the physical, cognitive, and social functioning of those affected. This study aims to investigate the prevalence of depressive symptoms and their associated factors in Chinese stroke patients. Research samples were selected from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study 2018 survey. Depression was evaluated using the 10-item Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale, with a score ≥ 10 defined as depression. Univariate and multivariable analyses were performed to examine the associations of depressive symptoms with demographics, family relationships, health status, and lifestyle. A total of 963 stroke patients were included and 57.8% of them had depressive symptoms. Depressive symptoms were significantly associated with female sex (OR 1.762, 95% CI 1.235-2.514), lower education level (non-formal education: OR 2.148, 95% CI 1.235-3.737, primary to secondary school education: OR 1.964, 95% CI 1.272-3.033), dissatisfaction with spouse (OR 1.912, 95% CI 1.075-3.401), dissatisfaction with life (OR 1.779, 95% CI 1.080-2.931), dissatisfaction with health (OR 1.592, 95% CI 1.138-2.226), pain (OR 1.392, 95% CI 1.005-1.928) and abnormal sleep (OR 1.557, 95% CI 1.126-2.152). The findings suggest the need for regular depression screening and evaluation after a stroke, and that a well-functioning support system, effective health management, and lifestyle modifications could potentially improve the mental state of stroke patients.

Abstract
Introduction In recent years, massive studies have examined sport from the standpoint of cultural capital. However, these studies have not examined cultural capital in relation to habitus within specific fields. Methods This article utilized a multivariate latent growth curve model to analyze changes of participants' physical habitus. Hypotheses concerning the form of growth in physical habitus, individual perceived capital influence differences in the common trajectory over time, and covariates influencing the growth of PH were tested. Results Significant linear increases existed for perceived influence from family and school, while significant linear decreases existed for perceived influence from community. The second-order alternative format of the latent growth curve model indicated that associations among individual perceived influence differences could be adequately explained by a higher order physical habitus construct. Gender, personal health condition, family socio-economic status, and weekly time spent on physical activities significantly predicted initial levels of physical habitus, whereas family social economic status significantly predicted the rate of change in physical habitus simultaneously. Discussion These findings not only support the participation in sport is constructed socially but also that individual efforts and contextual influences contribute to physical habitus. Furthermore, three types of perceived influences intertwined so much in simultaneity, instead of contributing to physical habitus across time.

Abstract
Research has shown a protective association between social support and depression, depression among stroke patients, and health impacts of depression. Despite this, not much is known about the effect of social support on depression among stroke patients. This review aims to summarize the current research examining the association between social support and depression among stroke patients. A literature search was performed in PubMed to find original peer-reviewed journal articles from 2016 to 12 March 2023 that examined the association between social support and depression among stroke patients. The search terms were depression and "social support" and stroke, which lead to 172 articles. After abstract review, seven observational studies that studied the target association among stroke patients were selected. One additional study was found using PsycINFO as a complementary source with the same search strategy and criteria. Overall, a negative association was found between social support and depression among stroke patients in eight studies, with more social support leading to lower rates of depression post-stroke. The other study did not find a statistically significant association. Overall, the results of recent studies suggest that social support is negatively associated with depression among stroke patients. In most studies, this association was statistically significant. The findings suggest the importance of improving social support perceived by stroke patients in the prevention of depression after the occurrence of stroke.

Abstract
Objective To construct a comprehensive nomogram model for predicting the risk of post-stroke depression (PSD) by using clinical data that are easily collected in the early stages, and the level of DNA methylation, so as to help doctors and patients prevent the occurrence of PSD as soon as possible. Methods We continuously recruited 226 patients with a history of acute ischemic stroke and followed up for three months. Socio-demographic indicators, vascular-risk factors, and clinical data were collected at admission, and the outcome of depression was evaluated at the third month after stroke. At the same time, a DNA-methylation-related sequencing test was performed on the fasting peripheral blood of the hospitalized patients which was taken the morning after admission. Results A total of 206 samples were randomly divided into training dataset and validation set according to the ratio of 7:3. We screened 24 potentially-predictive factors by Univariate logistic regression and least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression analysis, and 10 of the factors were found to have predictive ability in the training set. The PSD nomogram model was established based on seven significant variables in multivariate logistic regression. The consistency statistic (C-index) was as high as 0.937, and the area under curve (AUC) in the ROC analysis was 0.933. Replication analysis results in the validation set suggest the C-index was 0.953 and AUC was 0.926. This shows that the model has excellent calibration and differentiating abilities. Conclusion Gender, Rankin score, history of hyperlipidemia, time from onset to hospitalization, location of stroke, National Institutes of Health Stroke scale (NIHSS) score, and the methylation level of the cg02550950 site are all related to the occurrence of PSD. Using this information, we developed a prediction model based on methylation characteristics.

Abstract
To develop and identify the effectiveness of a hospital-to-home transitional intervention based on an interaction model of client health behavior in adult patients with stroke. A non-equivalent control group pretest-posttest. Thirty-eight patients participated (18=intervention, 20=control); the intervention group received 12 weeks of the intervention. The intervention influenced anxiety, disease severity, health behavior adherence, patient satisfaction, and quality of life in adult patients with stroke. Transitional programs have potential to improve the health behaviors of subjects, and community health nurses can assist in the implementation of these programs. Health behaviors and quality of life scores were significantly higher in the intervention group than in the control group; these findings support the need for continuity of nursing care during the transitional period for patients with stroke. Given the challenges faced by adult stroke patients after stroke, community nurses should pay attention to patients' transitional experiences.

Abstract
Post-stroke depression and anxiety, collectively known as post-stroke adverse mental outcome (PSAMO) are common sequelae of stroke. About 30% of stroke survivors develop depression and about 20% develop anxiety. Stroke survivors with PSAMO have poorer health outcomes with higher mortality and greater functional disability. In this study, we aimed to develop a machine learning (ML) model to predict the risk of PSAMO. We retrospectively studied 1780 patients with stroke who were divided into PSAMO vs. no PSAMO groups based on results of validated depression and anxiety questionnaires. The features collected included demographic and sociological data, quality of life scores, stroke-related information, medical and medication history, and comorbidities. Recursive feature elimination was used to select features to input in parallel to eight ML algorithms to train and test the model. Bayesian optimization was used for hyperparameter tuning. Shapley additive explanations (SHAP), an explainable AI (XAI) method, was applied to interpret the model. The best performing ML algorithm was gradient-boosted tree, which attained 74.7% binary classification accuracy. Feature importance calculated by SHAP produced a list of ranked important features that contributed to the prediction, which were consistent with findings of prior clinical studies. Some of these factors were modifiable, and potentially amenable to intervention at early stages of stroke to reduce the incidence of PSAMO.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Stroke commonly leads to disability and depression. Social connection and engagement can be protective against functional decline and depression in the general population. We investigated the effects of social connection and engagement on trajectories of function and depressive symptoms in stroke. METHODS This is a longitudinal study, which included 898 participants with incident stroke from the HRS study (Health and Retirement Study) between 1998 and 2012. Multilevel modeling was used to examine associations of social connection and engagement with changes in functional limitations in instrumental activities of daily living (IADLs) and depressive symptoms over time. Models controlled for age, gender, education, and race/ethnicity. Moderation analyses examined whether high social connection and engagement reduced depressive symptoms for survivors with high IADL impairment. RESULTS Social connection and engagement were generally associated with fewer IADL limitations and depressive symptoms at the time of stroke and after stroke. For example, participants who felt lonely and did not provide help to others before stroke had more IADL limitations. Prestroke volunteering was associated with less increase in IADL limitations with stroke and increase in having friends and providing help to others compared with one's prestroke status were associated with fewer IADL limitations after stroke. For depressive symptoms, participants who felt lonely and did not have a friend or partner before stroke had more depressive symptoms, and participants who had children residing nearby before stroke showed less increase in depressive symptoms. Moderation effects were not found for social connection and engagement on high IADL impairment and depressive symptoms. CONCLUSIONS Findings suggest that social connection and engagement may reduce the negative physical and psychological outcomes of stroke, both at baseline and after stroke. Efforts to enhance social engagement and diminish loneliness may both enhance population well-being and enhance resilience and recovery from stroke and other illnesses.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Acute ischemic stroke (AIS) is one of the main causes of disability in middle-aged and elderly people, and early activity plays an important role in functional recovery. This study aims to understand the factors that affect the implementation of early activity in patients with AIS and to provide reference for promoting early activity implementation and developing intervention strategies for AIS patients. METHODS Using purposive sampling, 19 AIS patients and their caregivers who visited at Stroke Center in the Third Xiangya Hospital of Central South University and the Third Hospital of Changsha from June to December 2021, as well as 19 medical staff, hospital administrators, or community workers providing medical health services to stroke patients, were selected as interviewes. A semi-structured interview was conducted based on the social ecological theory model, and the Colaizzi seven-step method was used to analyze the interview data. RESULTS According to qualitative interview results, the factors affecting early activity in AIS patients were summarized into 4 themes and 12 sub-themes: medical staff factors (insufficient knowledge and skills, insufficient knowledge of early activity, unclear division of responsibilities), patient factors (severity of the disease, lack of knowledge, psychological pressure, fear of falling), social environmental factors (lack of social support, shortage of human resources and rehabilitation equipment, insufficient medical insurance support), and evidence and norms (the evidence for early activity needs improvement, lack of standardized early activity procedures). CONCLUSIONS Early activity in AIS patients is impacted by factors at multiple levels, including medical staff, patients, social environment, and evidence and norms. Developing comprehensive intervention strategies to address these factors can promote early activity implementation in AIS patients.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The COVID-19 pandemic is regarded as a serious public health concern that boosts levels of stress and anxiety which could be explained by several reasons, including social isolation. In this regard, we aimed to assess the impact of health education on the anxiety level of COVID-19 patients during the isolation period. METHODS This is a randomized controlled trial conducted between February 2021 and June 2021. Patients tested positive for Covid-19 with mild to moderate forms were randomized to Education (n = 267) or control (n = 269). The education group received a phone health education session on day 1 (D1) following the diagnosis. The three components of the health education intervention were an explanation of the coronavirus disease, what to do in the event of complications, and the recommended preventive measures. The two groups received a telephone evaluation of their Hospital Anxiety and Depression scores on D1 and day seven D7 following the positive diagnosis. The primary outcome was the rate of anxiety reduction in each group on D7 based on a HAD-A score ≥ 8. Secondary outcomes were the rate of anxiety reduction on D7 based on a HAD-A score ≥ 11, the percentage of people complying with isolation and the scores of adherences to preventive measures during the isolation in each group. RESULTS Hundred and ninety-six patients in the intervention group and 206 patients in the control group completed the study. The sociodemographic, clinical, and initial anxiety level features of the intervention and control groups were comparable at baseline (p ≥ 0.05). On D7, the education group's anxiety level (HAD-A ≥ 8) decreased from 26 to 16.3% (p = 0.013) while in the control group it increased from 19.4 to 22.8% (p = 0.37). Thus, the percentage change in anxiety between D1 and D7 (delta D7 - D1) was - 9.7% in the Education group and + 3.4% in the Control group. Using the HAD-A ≥ 11 thresholds, the percentage of anxiety decreased from 15.3 to 11.2% (p = 0.26) between D1 and D7, while it increased in the control group from 9.7 to 15.7% (p = 0.045). Thus, the education group's change in anxiety (delta D7 - D1) was - 4.1%, while the control group's change was + 6%. CONCLUSION During an outbreak, providing health education to quarantined patients may be beneficial to reduce the psychological impact of the disease.

Abstract
BACKGROUND COVID-19 infection continues all over the world, causing serious physical and psychological impacts to patients. Patients with COVID-19 infection suffer from various negative emotional experiences such as anxiety, depression, mania, and alienation, which seriously affect their normal life and is detrimental to the prognosis. Our study is aimed to investigate the effect of psychological capital on alienation among patients with COVID-19 and the mediating role of social support in this relationship. METHODS The data were collected in China by the convenient sampling. A sample of 259 COVID-19 patients completed the psychological capital, social support and social alienation scale and the structural equation model was adopted to verify the research hypotheses. RESULTS Psychological capital was significantly and negatively related to the COVID-19 patients' social alienation (p < .01). And social support partially mediated the correlation between psychological capital and patients' social alienation (p < .01). CONCLUSION Psychological capital is critical to predicting COVID-19 patients' social alienation. Social support plays an intermediary role and explains how psychological capital alleviates the sense of social alienation among patients with COVID-19 infection.

Interventions for improving psychosocial well-being after stroke: A systematic review. Int J Nurs Stud 2023; 142:104492. [PMID: 37084476 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijnurstu.2023.104492] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/14/2022] [Revised: 02/15/2023] [Accepted: 03/23/2023] [Indexed: 03/30/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Up to one third of all stroke patients suffer from one or more psychosocial impairments. Recognition and treatment of these impairments are essential in improving psychosocial well-being after stroke. Although nurses are ideally positioned to address psychosocial well-being, they often feel insecure about providing the needed psychosocial care. Therefore, we expect that providing nurses with better knowledge to deliver this care could lead to an improvement in psychosocial well-being after stroke. Currently it is not known which interventions are effective and what aspects of these interventions are most effective to improve psychosocial well-being after stroke. OBJECTIVE To identify potentially effective interventions - and intervention components - which can be delivered by nurses to improve patients' psychosocial well-being after stroke. METHODS A systematic review and data synthesis of randomized controlled trials and quasi experimental studies was conducted. Papers were included according to the following criteria: 1) before-after design, 2) all types of stroke patients, 3) interventions that can be delivered by nurses, 4) the primary outcome(s) were psychosocial. PubMed, Embase, PsychInfo, CINAHL and Cochrane library were searched (August 2019-April 2022). Articles were selected based on title, abstract, full text and quality. Quality was assessed by using Joanna Briggs Institute checklists and a standardized data extraction form developed by Joanna Brigss Institute was used to extract the data. RESULTS In total 60 studies were included, of which 52 randomized controlled trials, three non-randomized controlled trials, four quasi-experimental studies, and one randomized cross-over study. Nineteen studies had a clear psychosocial content, twenty-nine a partly psychosocial content, and twelve no psychosocial content. Thirty-nine interventions that showed positive effects on psychosocial well-being after stroke were identified. Effective intervention topics were found to be mood, recovery, coping, emotions, consequences/problems after stroke, values and needs, risk factors and secondary prevention, self-management, and medication management. Active information and physical exercise were identified as effective methods of delivery. DISCUSSION The results suggest that interventions to improve psychosocial well-being should include the intervention topics and methods of delivery that were identified as effective. Since effectiveness of the intervention can depend on the interaction of intervention components, these interactions should be studied. Nurses and patients should be involved in the development of such interventions to ensure it can be used by nurses and will help improve patients' psychosocial well-being. FUNDING AND REGISTRATION This study was supported by the Taskforce for Applied Research SIA (RAAK.PUB04.010). This review was not registered.

JAMA Netw Open 2023; 6:e2321019. [PMID: 37382954 PMCID: PMC10311391 DOI: 10.1001/jamanetworkopen.2023.21019] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/26/2023] [Accepted: 05/16/2023] [Indexed: 06/30/2023] Open
Abstract
Importance It has been suggested that interventions that aim to improve social well-being may contribute to decreased health care use; however, such evidence has not been fully systematically synthesized. Objective To systematically review and meta-analyze available evidence on the associations between psychosocial interventions and health care utilization. Data Sources Medline, Embase, PsycInfo, Cumulated Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature, Cochrane, Scopus, Google Scholar, and reference lists of systematic reviews were searched from inception until November 31, 2022. Study Selection Included studies were randomized clinical trials reporting on both health care utilization and social well-being outcomes. Data Extraction and Synthesis The reporting of the systematic review adhered to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses (PRISMA) reporting guideline. Full-text and quality assessments were conducted by 2 reviewers independently. Multilevel random-effects meta-analyses were used to synthesize the data. Subgroup analyses were conducted to examine the characteristics associated with decreased health care use. Main Outcomes and Measures The outcome of interest was health care utilization, including primary, emergency, inpatient, and outpatient care services. Social well-being was measured as social support, social participation, social relationships, community support, social integration, or loneliness. Results A total of 41 studies were retrieved from 18 969 citations; 37 studies were eligible for meta-analysis. Data were analyzed for 7842 participants, including 2745 older adults, 1579 young women considered to be at risk of social and mental health disadvantages, 1118 people with chronic illnesses, 1597 people with mental illnesses, and 803 caregivers. The odds ratio (OR) random-effects model showed an overall reduction in health care use (OR, 0.75; 95% CI, 0.59 to 0.97), but the standardized mean difference (SMD) random effect model showed no association. An improvement in health care utilization was observed in association with social support interventions (SMD, 0.25; 95% CI, 0.04 to 0.45) but not in loneliness interventions. Subgroup analysis indicated a reduced length of inpatient visits (SMD, -0.35; 95% CI, -0.61 to -0.09) and number of emergency care visits (OR, 0.64; 95% CI, 0.43 to 0.96) following the intervention. However, an increase in outpatient care associated with psychosocial interventions was observed (SMD, 0.34; 95% CI, 0.05 to 0.62). The largest reductions in health care use were associated with interventions among caregivers (OR, 0.23; 95% CI, 0.07 to 0.71) and individuals with mental illnesses (OR, 0.31; 95% CI, 0.13 to 0.74). Conclusions These findings suggest that psychosocial interventions were associated with most measures of health care utilization. As the association differed by participant and intervention delivery characteristics, these characteristics should be considered in the design of future interventions.

Abstract
The deteriorating trends of unbalanced income, progressive age-related health problems, and loss of traditional ties necessitate ever-flexible interventions that are helpful to overcome a decline in Chinese adults' mental health. This study aimed to test whether engagement in different domains of leisure is associated with a composite index of mental health, both concurrently and subsequently. Longitudinal data including 10,968 participants (females = 5,804) with a mean age of 46.01 years in the Chinese General Social Survey (CGSS) were analyzed using generalized estimating equations with a logit link. The results showed that face-to-face experiences, such as sports with all ORs of < 1 at the significance level of α = 0.01 and meeting with all ORs of < 1 at the significance level of α = 0.01 except daily in-person meeting frequency, are important for protecting mental health owing to the increasing social support by building close ties. The results also indicate that online leisure with all ORs < 1 at the significance level of α = 0.01 has positive effects on lowering the odds of depression. In addition, receptive cognitive leisure, such as watching television or movies with all ORs < 1 at the significance level of α = 0.05 level, was not consistently associated with depression. However, active cognitive leisure, such as reading with all ORs of < 1 at a significance level of α = 0.01, was associated with lower odds of depression.

Abstract
Post-stroke depression (PSD) has served as a severe and common complication leading to a higher level of mortality. Though various studies have been focused on PSD, limited research endeavor has been dedicated to bibliometric analysis in the past. In view of this, the current analysis serves to elucidate the latest status of global research and pinpoint the emerging area of interest for PSD, in order to support further investigation of the field. Publications related to PSD were retrieved from the Web of Science Core Collection database on September 24, 2022, and included in the bibliometric analysis. VOSviewer and CiteSpace software were used to visually analyze publication outputs, scientific cooperation, highly-cited references, and keywords to identify the current status and future trends in PSD research. A total of 533 publications were retrieved. The annual number of publications showed an increasing trend from 1999 to 2022. In terms of country and academic institution, the USA and Duke University have topped the list of PSD research respectively. Meanwhile, Robinson RG and Alexopoulos GS have been the most representative investigators of the field. In the past, researchers focused on the risk factors of PSD, late-life depression, and Alzheimer disease. In recent years, further research effort has been placed on meta-analysis, ischemic stroke, predictor, inflammation, mechanism, and mortality. In conclusion, in the past 20 years, PSD research has been progressing and gaining more attention. The bibliometric analysis successfully unveiled the field's major contributing countries, institutions, and investigators. Furthermore, current hot spots and future trends in the field of PSD were identified, which included meta-analysis, ischemic stroke, predictor, inflammation, mechanism, and mortality.

Abstract
Background Stroke commonly leads to disability and depression. Social connection and engagement can be protective against functional decline and depression in the general population. We investigated the effects of social connection and engagement on trajectories of function and depressive symptoms in stroke. Methods Participants were 898 individuals with incident stroke from the Health and Retirement Study between 1998-2012. Multilevel modeling was used to examine associations of social connection and engagement with changes in functional limitations in instrumental activities of daily living (IADLs) and depressive symptoms over time. Models controlled for age, gender, education, and race/ethnicity. Moderation analyses examined whether high social connection and engagement reduced depressive symptoms for survivors with high IADL impairment. Results Social connection and engagement were generally associated with fewer IADL limitations and depressive symptoms at the time of stroke and after stroke. For example, participants who felt lonely and did not provide help to others before stroke had more IADL limitations. Pre-stroke volunteering was associated with less increase in IADL limitations with stroke and increase in having friends and providing help to others compared to one's pre-stroke status were associated with fewer IADL limitations after stroke. For depressive symptoms, participants who felt lonely and did not have a friend or partner before stroke had more depressive symptoms, and participants who had children residing nearby before stroke showed less increase in depressive symptoms. Moderation effects were not found for social connection and engagement on high IADL impairment and depressive symptoms. Conclusions Findings suggest that social connection and engagement may reduce the negative physical and psychological outcomes of stroke, both at baseline and after stroke. Efforts to enhance social engagement and diminish loneliness may both enhance population well-being and enhance resilience and recovery from stroke and other illnesses.

Abstract
Motivated behaviours are thought to lead to enhanced performances. In the neurorehabilitation field, motivation has been demonstrated to be a link between cognition and motor performance, therefore playing an important role upon rehabilitation outcome determining factors. While motivation-enhancing interventions have been frequently investigated, a common and reliable motivation assessment strategy has not been established yet. This review aims to systematically explore and provide a comparison among the existing motivation assessment tools concerning stroke rehabilitation. For this purpose, a literature search (PubMed and Google Scholar) was performed, using the following Medical Subject Headings terms: "assessment" OR "scale" AND "motivation" AND "stroke" AND "rehabilitation". In all, 31 randomized clinical trials and 15 clinical trials were examined. The existing assessment tools can be grouped into two categories: the first mirroring the trade-off between patients and rehabilitation, the latter reflecting the link between patients and interventions. Furthermore, we presented assessment tools which reflect participation level or apathy, as an indirect index of motivation. In conclusion, we are left to put forth a possible common motivation assessment strategy, which might provide valuable incentive to investigate in future research.

Abstract
Introduction Caring for stroke survivors in primary care settings substantially impacts family life and health. Caregivers of stroke survivors have different challenging experiences in providing care in relation to family happiness. This study aimed to explore family happiness and its contributing factors among family members caring for stroke survivors in suburban Thailand. Method Qualitative semi-structured interviews and observations were conducted among 54 family caregivers in suburban Thailand communities from January to July 2020. Interviews and focus group discussions were digitally recorded, independently transcribed and analysed using ATLAS.ti 8.0. Qualitative data analysis method was used. Results Family happiness was found to help a family function and be satisfied with caring. The analysis revealed three themes for achieving family happiness: 1) ideal caregiver characteristics: virtue, love and gratitude, experience in caring, good health and self-care ability, good management of emotions and freedom to manage problems and obstacles; 2) family function: family structure, roles and duties, relationships and management of family problems; and 3) resource support: financial, health and environmental supports. Conclusion The findings demonstrate how life adaptations can improve family happiness within families of stroke survivors. Understanding caregivers' perceptions of their experiences in caring for stroke survivors is a challenge for healthcare providers; overcoming this could transform an unpleasant life into caregiving happiness. Appropriate and practical support from healthcare authorities could empower families of stroke survivors to succeed in caregiving and achieve family happiness.

The parameters included in the study were the socio-demographic characteristics, self-rating anxiety scale (SAS), self-rating depression scale (SDS) and the Barthel index of daily activity ability. Potential profile analysis was done to recognize subgroups of post-stroke anxiety. The Chi-square test was performed to explore the characteristics of individuals with different types of post-stroke anxiety. RESULTS The model fitting indices of stroke survivors supported three classes of anxiety models which were as follows: (a) Class 1, low-level, stable group (65.3%, N = 431); (b) Class 2, moderate-level, unstable group (17.9%, N = 118) and (c) Class 3, high-level, stable group (16.9%, N = 112). The risk factors associated with post-stroke anxiety were female patients, lower levels of education, living alone, lower monthly household income, other chronic diseases, impaired daily activity ability and depression. CONCLUSIONS This study identified three different subgroups of post-ischaemic stroke anxiety and their characteristics in patients in rural China. IMPACT This study has significance in providing evidence for the development of targeted intervention measures to reduce negative emotions in different subgroups of post-stroke anxiety patients. PATIENT OR PUBLIC CONTRIBUTION In this study, the researchers arranged the time of questionnaire collection with the village committee in advance, gathered the patients to the village committee for face-to-face questionnaire survey and collected the household data of the patients with mobility difficulties.

The effect and safety of constraint-induced movement therapy for post-stroke motor dysfunction: a meta-analysis and trial sequential analysis. Front Neurol 2023; 14:1137320. [PMID: 37144004 PMCID: PMC10151521 DOI: 10.3389/fneur.2023.1137320] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/04/2023] [Accepted: 03/13/2023] [Indexed: 05/06/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Due to motor function insufficiency, patients with post-stroke motor dysfunction (PSMD) have limitations in performing an activity, feel restricted during social participation, and feel impaired in their quality of life. Constraint-induced movement therapy (CIMT) is a neurorehabilitation technique, but its effectiveness on PSMD after stroke still remains controversial. Objective This meta-analysis and trial sequential analysis (TSA) aimed to comprehensively evaluate the effect and safety of CIMT for PSMD. Methods Four electronic databases were searched from their inception to 1 January 2023 to identify randomized controlled trials (RCTs) investigating the effectiveness of CIMT for PSMD. Two reviewers independently extracted the data and assessed the risk of bias and reporting quality. The primary outcome was a motor activity log for the amount of use (MAL-AOU) and the quality of movement (MAL-QOM). RevMan 5.4, Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) 25.0, and STATA 13.0 software were used for statistical analysis. The certainty of the evidence was appraised using the Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development, and Evaluation (GRADE) system. We also performed the TSA to assess the reliability of the evidence. Results A total of 44 eligible RCTs were included. Our results showed that CIMT combined with conventional rehabilitation (CR) was superior to CR in improving MAL-AOU and MAL-QOM scores. The results of TSA indicated that the above evidence was reliable. Subgroup analysis demonstrated that CIMT (≥6 h per day or duration ≤ 20 days) combined with CR was more effective than CR. Meanwhile, both CIMT and modified CIMT (mCIMT) combined with CR were more efficient than CR at all stages of stroke. No severe CIMT-related adverse events occurred. Conclusion CIMT may be an optional and safe rehabilitation therapy to improve PSMD. However, due to limited studies, the optimal protocol of CIMT for PSMD was undetermined, and more RCTs are required for further exploration.

Abstract
Objective Among stroke patients, exercise adherence is an important factor in reducing the rate of physical disability and mortality. Rehabilitation exercise after stroke is a safe and effective measure to restore normal body functions, but the analysis of factors influencing patients' motivation for rehabilitation is not well established. Therefore, this study will explore the influencing factors of rehabilitation motivation in older adults with stroke so as to reduce the disability rate of stroke. Method A convenience sampling method was used to study 350 patients in a stroke ward of a tertiary care hospital in Jinzhou, Liaoning Province. Patients' general demographic data, Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (PSSS), Questionnaire of Exercise Adherence (EAQ), Tampa scale of kinesiophobia (TSK-11), and Motivation in stroke patients for rehabilitation scale (MORE) were assessed. ANOVA or t-test analysis, correlation analysis, and linear regression analysis were used to explore the factors influencing the motivation for rehabilitation in older adults with stroke. Results The results showed that stroke patients' motivation for rehabilitation was at a moderate level. Perceived social support, exercise adherence, and stroke motivation were positively correlated (r = 0.619, p < 0.01; r = 0.569, p < 0.01), and kinesiophobia was negatively correlated with stroke motivation (r = -0.677, p < 0.01). Time of stroke, location of the lesion, perceived social support, exercise adherence, and kinesiophobia are influential factors affecting patients' motivation to recover. Conclusion In the rehabilitation program for older adult patients with stroke, healthcare providers should specify targeted rehabilitation measures according to the different degrees of the patient's condition, so as to improve the effectiveness of rehabilitation medical implementation.

Abstract
AIMS AND OBJECTIVES To determine whether interventions that use the Specific Thematic Nursing Care Action Modules (STNC-AM) platform improve patients' psychological health over a two-month period. BACKGROUND Stroke survivors often are left with a disability after a stroke, which can have an impact on their physical and mental health. Therefore, it is necessary for stroke patients to have tailored programmes in the face of post-stroke mental health concerns and the need for care information. DESIGN A non-randomised controlled pilot study was conducted. METHODS Participants included 44 post-stroke patients at a medical university hospital, between 1 August 2019-28 February 2021, of whom 24 were assigned to the control group and 20 were assigned to the intervention (STNC-AM). Data were analysed on an intention-to-treat basis. We used the Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology (STROBE) Checklist (case-control studies) for this study. RESULTS There were no statistical differences between the two groups at baseline. At the end of two months, however, the scores for resilience, depression and positive factors illness representation were statistically different between the two groups (p < .05). The results of the generalised estimating equation model analysis indicated that resilience and anxiety remained more significant in decreasing depression in the intervention group than in the control group. CONCLUSION This preliminary trial suggests that, although action modules may be associated with a decrease in depression post-stroke, part of this effect was likely associated with an increase in resilience and a decrease in anxiety of the patients. RELEVANCE TO CLINICAL PRACTICE The STNC-AM platform provides a coaching platform that helps patients and caregivers to be effective and accessible.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The prevalence of physical inactivity after stroke is high and exercise training improves many outcomes. However, access to community training protocols is limited, especially in low-income settings. OBJECTIVE To investigate the feasibility and efficacy of a new intervention: Circuit walking, balance, cycling and strength training (CBCS) on activity of daily living (ADL) limitations, motor performance, and social participation restrictions in people after stroke. METHODS Forty-six community-dwelling individuals with chronic stroke who were no longer in conventional rehabilitation were randomized into an immediate CBCS group (IG; initially received CBCS training for 12 weeks in phase 1), and a delayed CBCS group (DG) that first participated in sociocultural activities for 12 weeks. In phase 2, participants crossed over so that the DG underwent CBCS and the IG performed sociocultural activities. The primary outcome was ADL limitations measured with the ACTIVLIM-Stroke scale. Secondary outcomes included motor performance (balance: Berg Balance Scale [BBS], global impairment: Stroke Impairment Assessment Set [SIAS] and mobility: 6-minute and 10-metre walk tests [6MWT and 10mWT] and psychosocial health [depression and participation]). Additional outcomes included feasibility (retention, adherence) and safety. RESULTS ADL capacity significantly improved pre to post CBCS training (ACTIVLIM-stroke, +3,4 logits, p < 0.001; effect size [ES] 0.87), balance (BBS, +21 points, p < 0.001; ES 0.9), impairments (SIAS, +11 points, p < 0.001; ES 0.9), and mobility (+145 m for 6MWT and +0.37 m/s for 10mWT; p < 0.001; ES 0.7 and 0.5 respectively). Similar improvements in psychosocial health occurred in both groups. Adherence and retention rates were 95% and 100%, respectively. CONCLUSION CBCS was feasible, safe and improved functional independence and motor abilities in individuals in the chronic stage of stroke. Participation in CBCS improved depression and social participation similarly to participation in sociocultural activities. The benefits persisted for at least 3 months after intervention completion.

Front Neurol 2022; 13:954212. [PMID: 36212653 PMCID: PMC9539964 DOI: 10.3389/fneur.2022.954212] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/27/2022] [Accepted: 06/30/2022] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
BackgroundIschemic stroke poses a major threat to human health and represents the third leading cause of death worldwide and in Taiwan. Post-acute care (PAC) training has been reported to be beneficial for post-index stroke events. However, knowledge is still lacking on the outcome of stroke events with cardiac origin. The focus of the current study is to investigate the effectiveness of PAC in this subgroup of patients as well as identify key baseline pointers that are capable of early prediction of patients' physical recovery. In addition, the authors hypothesize that the routinely arranged non-invasive carotid duplex that evaluates the characteristics of the carotid lumen could play a significant role in providing an early outcome prediction.MethodsFor the current research, 142 ischemic stroke patients with underlying cardiac arrhythmia (atrial fibrillation) were retrospectively recruited. The patients' basic demographics, neuroimaging, carotid duplex, and basic biochemistry datasets were accurately documented. The pre and post-admission National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) (6-month follow-ups), Barthel Index, and mRS score (12-month follow-ups) were also recorded. All statistical analyses were performed using R for Windows (version 3.6.3). Barthel Index, NIHSS, and mRS scores obtained before and after hospitalization were compared to determine the patients' outcomes and were classified as improved or unimproved. A multivariate logistic analysis was designed and applied to assess the significance of risk factors and to obtain the odds ratios (ORs). The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve and the Youden Index was used to find the important cut-off point information, and the area under the curve (AUC) was calculated to provide accuracy.ResultsThe average age of the 142 ischemic stroke patients enrolled in the current study was about 66 years, of which 88 patients were male and 54, female. Many of them had other comorbidities: 86 patients had mixed hyperlipidemia (60.56%), 115 had hypertension (80.99%), and 49 suffered from diabetes mellitus (34.51%). The mRS showed an improvement in the condition of only 40 patients (28.175%), whereas the Barthel Index showed improvement in 71 patients (50%), and 68 patients (47.89%) showed recovery on the NIHSS. The Barthel Index and NIHSS were selected because they already had an almost equal number of samples among the improved and unimproved groups (50%), rather than mRS, which had a lower number (28.17%) of improved cases. While conducting the EuroQol-5 Dimension (EQ-5D) assessment, anxiety/depression stood out as the most prominent issue, affecting 44 patients (30.99%). Self-care was another factor that was involved in the ongoing improvement of 36 patients (25.35%). Multivariate logistic analysis of both NIHSS and Barthel Index showed improvement with a contralateral plaque index statistical significance (P<0.05), whereas NIHSS showed a relevant significance in anxiety/depression and Barthel Index registered usual activity in the data analysis (P<0.05). ROC curve and Youden index analysis showed similar results in both NIHSS and Barthel Index of contralateral plaque index of 4.5, this being the cutoff point value for this group of patients.ConclusionIn the current study, nearly half of the enrolled patients showed favorable functional recovery. The outcome assessments seem to correlate well with NIHSS and Barthel Index scores, rather than mRS. The anxiety/depression and usual activities domains of the EQ-5D results are associated with and have a great impact after the patients undertake the PAC rehabilitative strategy. Moreover, the variables obtained through carotid duplex and plaque index might also play a significant role in determining the patient's functional outcome.

Abstract
Caregiver education program has been applied to stroke patients, while its effect on mental health in stroke patients is still obscure. This study aimed to assess the impact of the WeChat-based caregiver education (WBCE) program on cognition, anxiety, and depression in stroke patients. Totally, 170 patients with ischemic stroke were included. They were randomized at a 1:1 ratio to the WBCE group (N = 86) and control care (CC) group (N = 84), and their caregivers received WBCE or CC for 12 months, respectively. Mini-mental state examination (MMSE) score was increased in the WBCE group compared with that in the CC group at the 9th month (M9) (27.2 ± 1.9 vs 26.6 ± 1.6, P = 0.017) and M12 (27.1 ± 1.8 vs 26.5 ± 1.5, P = 0.015), while cognitive impairment rate was decreased in WBCE group compared with that in CC group at 12th month (M12) (30.2% vs 45.2%, P=0.043). In the meantime, the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) for Anxiety score (6.5 ± 3.1 vs 7.5 ± 2.8, P = 0.020), HADS for depression score (6.7 ± 3.1 vs 7.7 ± 3.3, P = 0.040) and depression rate (33.7% vs 48.8%, P = 0.046) in WBCE group were reduced compared with those in CC group at M12. Besides, an elevation in the satisfaction score of patients at M12 (8.0 ± 1.2 vs 7.4 ± 1.2, P = 0.002) and that of caregivers at 6th months (M6) (6.6 ± 1.1 vs 6.2 ± 1.3, P = 0.038) and M12 (7.2 ± 1.1 vs 6.8 ± 1.4, P=0.042) were found in WBCE group compared with CC group. WBCE program not only improves the satisfaction of stroke patients and caregivers but also attenuates cognitive impairment and depression in stroke patients.

Abstract
Background Stroke and depression are common diseases that affect quality of life (QoL). Although some recent studies have investigated the association between the two diseases, studies that examined the association between stroke, depression, and QoL are rare, with large-scale national-level studies lacking. We aimed to investigate the association between depression and QoL in stroke patients. Methods Data from the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES) IV–VII conducted in 2008–2018 were used, and 45,741 adults who were aged >40 years and had no missing data for stroke and depression were included in the analysis. The participants were first grouped by prevalence of stroke, and further divided by prevalence of depression. Results The overall prevalence of stroke was 3.2%, and the incidence was 9% higher in men than in women. Multiple logistic regression was performed after adjusting for demographic factors, health-related factors, and disease-related factors. The results confirmed that the stroke group with depression had a lower overall health-related quality of life, measured using EQ-5D, score compared to the stroke group without depression (-0.15). Moreover, the concurrent stroke and depression treatment group had the highest OR of 7.28 (95% CI 3.28–16.2) for the anxiety/depression domain. Conclusion Depression was strongly associated with QoL in stroke patients. This association was more evident in stroke patients undergoing treatment for depression. Thus, clinical approaches that take QoL into consideration are needed for stroke patients with depression.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Stigma is a common psychological consequence for stroke survivors that aggravates their physical and psychological burden and hinders their rehabilitation. Currently, there are few interventions targeted at the stigma of stroke survivors. OBJECTIVES This study reports on the development of a self-help cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) programme driven by a logical model of stigma in stroke survivors, CBT and the advice of multidomain experts. METHODS A logical model of stigma in stroke survivors was derived from a systematic search of the literature and semistructured interviews with 21 patients to identify factors influencing stigma. The item content of the programme was generated based on this logical model in combination with CBT. A modified Delphi process with an expert panel of multidomain experts was used to evaluate and refine the content of the programme. SPSS 20.0 was used for data analysis. RESULTS Seventeen experts accepted the invitation to participate, and all completed two rounds of the Delphi survey. Six sections and 26 items were identified. Consensus was reached among experts that the self-help CBT programme included the following six sections: health education, understanding stigma, cognition change, skills training and self-care, self-acceptance and relapse prevention. CONCLUSIONS The self-help CBT programme includes health education and psychological education. This study extends the limited body of research on stroke-related stigma interventions, and the next step is to evaluate its efficacy in trials.

Abstract
Background Due to the lack of health education adherence assessment tools for stroke patients, the assessment of health education adherence in this population is insufficient, which hinders the prevention and rehabilitation of stroke. This study aims to develop and validate a Health Education Adherence Scale for Stroke Patients (HEAS-SP). Methods A cross-sectional design with a purposive sampling method was used for this study. Six hundred and fifty-four eligible participants completed the demographic questionnaire and the HEAS-SP. The data collection lasted for 7 months, from March 1stto September 30th in 2019. Item analysis and exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis were employed to develop and validate the HEAS-SP. Results The item analysis, exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis resulted in a 20-item HEAS-SP with 4 domains: medication adherence, diet adherence, rehabilitation exercise adherence, and healthy lifestyle adherence. The four-domain model demonstrated acceptable model fit indexes and the 20-item HEAS-SP demonstrated acceptable reliability and validity. Conclusion The 20-item HEAS-SP was shown to have acceptable reliability and validity for assessing health education adherence with respect to diet, medication, rehabilitation exercise and healthy lifestyle in stroke patients, making it a potential basis for developing targeted interventions for stroke patients.

Physical activity and social support mediate the relationship between chronic diseases and positive mental health in a national sample of community-dwelling Canadians 65+: A structural equation analysis. J Affect Disord 2022; 298:142-150. [PMID: 34728294 DOI: 10.1016/j.jad.2021.10.055] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/31/2021] [Revised: 10/15/2021] [Accepted: 10/23/2021] [Indexed: 12/29/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Mental health is a critical component of healthy aging. Aging increases the likelihood of developing chronic diseases. The negative effects of chronic diseases on mental health have been extensively documented. Physical activity and social support have been reported to influence mental health positively. METHODS Data analyzed are drawn from the national Canadian Community Health Survey - Mental Health in 2012. Structural equation modeling (SEM) techniques were used to estimate and test the mediating role of physical activities and social support in the relationship between chronic disease, positive mental health, and psychological distress in a national adult population sample aged 65+. RESULTS Approximately 83% of the older adults sample reported having at least one chronic disease, and the mean score of psychological distress and positive mental health was 14.15 ± 4.73 and 55.28 ± 10.67, respectively. Initial analysis found that chronic illness was negatively related to positive mental health (β= -0.72, P < 0.001) and positively related to psychological distress (β=0.98, P < 0.001). The final structural model found that physical activity and social support partially mediated the negative consequences of chronic disease on psychological distress and strengthened seniors' positive mental health. LIMITATIONS Limiting causal attribution, potential reporting bias and limited in recognizing negative and positive social support are the major limitations. CONCLUSIONS Older adults with chronic diseases should be encouraged to increase physical activity and social support levels. The study outcomes have clinical implications for the delivery of mental health services to improve mental health and resilience to coping with stress among older adults.

Abstract
Poststroke depression significantly affects health and quality of life of stroke patients. This study evaluates the role of social support in influencing poststroke depression. The literature search was conducted in electronic databases and study selection was based on precise eligibility criteria. The prevalence rates reported by individual studies were pooled. A meta-analysis of standardized mean differences (SMD) in social support between depressed and non-depressed stroke patients was performed. The odds ratios and correlation coefficients showing the relationship between social support and depression were pooled to achieve overall estimates. Twenty-five studies (9431 patients) were included. The prevalence of depression was 36% [95% confidence interval (CI): 28, 45]. Patients with poststroke depression had significantly lower social support in comparison with patients with no or lower levels of depression [SMD in social support scores -0.338 (95% CI: -0.589, -0.087); p = 0.008]. The odds of depression were lower in patients receiving higher levels of social support [OR 0.82 (95% CI: 0.69, 0.95)] but were higher in patients who were receiving weaker social support [OR 5.22 (95% CI: -0.87, 11.31)]. A meta-analysis of correlation coefficients found a significantly inverse correlation between social support and poststroke depression [r -0.336 (95% CI: -0.414, -0.254)]. Poststroke depression has a significant independent inverse association with social support.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Depression of pregnant women has been a growing concern in recent years, and previous research has found that family relationships are strongly associated with depression. From a network perspective, family relationships and depression can be conceptualized as the result of interactions between individual symptoms. This research approach can elucidate the structure and mechanisms of the relationship between individual symptoms within the two groups. METHODS A total of 990 participants were recruited from the obstetrics outpatient clinic of Maternal and Child Health Hospital in Huai'an through a randomized whole-group sampling. Respondents' depressive symptoms and family relationships were self-reported using questionnaire, and the structure of the family relationship-depressive symptoms network and related centrality indicators were examined for this sample. RESULTS The results of the network analysis suggested that the most influential symptoms in the network of family relationship-depressive symptoms were worry, feeling worthless, equal status with husband and couple relationship. And equal status with husband was the most prominent bridging symptoms in this study. The whole network was robust in both stability and accuracy tests. LIMITATIONS Information was obtained from subjects' self-reports, which may be subject to information bias. As a cross-sectional study, no causal link between family relationships and depressive symptoms can be established. CONCLUSION Worry, feeling worthless, equal status with husband and couple relationship are central symptoms of the family relationship-depressive symptoms network structure in pregnant women. Timely and systematic multilevel interventions targeting the central symptoms may be effective in alleviating the onset of depressive symptoms in women during this period.

Abstract
It is essential that healthcare and social professionals understand the daily lives of people with chronic diseases, and the variables that influence them. The aim of this study was to identify the determinants influencing the process of living with long-term conditions. To investigate this, an observational, international, cross-sectional study was carried out. A consecutive sample of 1788 Spanish-speaking population living with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, chronic heart failure and type 2 diabetes mellitus were included. Descriptive statistics and multiple linear regression models were performed. The linear regression models identified that social support (β = 0.39, p < 0.001) and the satisfaction with life (β = 0.37, p < 0.001) were the main determinants in the process of living with a long-term condition (49% of the variance). Age (β = -0.08, p = 0.01) and disease duration (β = 0.07, p = 0.01) were determinants only in the chronic heart failure subgroup, and country was significant in the chronic obstructive pulmonary disease subgroup (β = -0.15, p = 0.002). Satisfaction with life and social support were key determinants influencing the process of living with long-term conditions. As such, those aspects should be included in the design of interventions focused on the achievement of a positive living in people with long-term conditions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Because the recurrence rate of stroke increases 1 year after its initial occurrence, it is important to predict quality of life at this stage, although most functions are likely recovered. OBJECTIVES We aimed to construct and verify a model of quality of life in patients 1 year post stroke by considering their characteristics at the time of the stroke based on the Wilson and Cleary model and previous literature. METHODS Participants comprised 288 patients who had experienced their first ischemic stroke and were enrolled in 3 regional stroke centers in South Korea. Data were analyzed using path analysis to identify a model of patients' quality of life 1 year post stroke. RESULTS Age, National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score, the modified Rankin Scale score, and anxiety had a direct effect on quality of life, whereas type D personality and social support had an indirect effect. Type D personality, age, National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score, social support, the modified Rankin Scale score, and anxiety explained 32.9% of the total variance in quality of life. CONCLUSIONS When predicting quality of life in a patient 1 year after a stroke, it is important to consider variables such as type D personality, age, National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score, social support, the modified Rankin Scale score, and anxiety at the time of the first stroke. Interventions to improve the quality of life of patients with stroke should consider these factors.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Determine the effects of an integrated rehabilitation protocol, including botulinum toxin and conventional rehabilitation exercise plus end-effector (EE) robotic training for functional recovery of the upper limb (UL) compared to training with the robot alone in post-chronic stroke patients with mild to severe spasticity, compared to training with the robot alone. METHODS In this prospective, observational case-control study, stroke patients were allocated into 2 groups: robot group (RG, patients who underwent robotic treatment with EE) and robot-toxin group (RTG, patients who in addition have carried out the injection of botulinum toxin for UL recovery). All patients were assessed by Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FMA), Motricity Index (MI), modified Ashworth scale (MAS), numeric rating scale (NRS), Box and Block Test (BBT), Frenchay Arm Test (FAT), and Barthel Index (BI) at baseline (T0), T1 (end of treatment), and T2 (3 months of follow-up). RESULTS Forty-four patients were included and analyzed (21RG; 23RTG). From the analysis between groups, the results suggested how there was a statistically significant difference in favor of RTG, specifically ΔT0-T1 and ΔT0-T2 for B&B p = 0.009 and p = 0.035; ΔT0-T1 and ΔT0-T2 for FAT with p = 0.016 and p = 0.031; ΔT0-T1 for MAS shoulder p = 0.016; ΔT0-T1 and ΔT0-T2 with p = 0.010 and p = 0.005 for MAS elbow; and ΔT0-T1 and ΔT0-T2 with p = 0.001 and p = 0.013 for MAS wrist. CONCLUSION Our results suggest, in line with the literature, a good efficacy in the reduction of spasticity and in the improvement of the function of the UL, with the reduction of pain, adopting a rehabilitation protocol integrated with BoTN, robot-assisted training, and traditional physiotherapy.

Abstract
Stroke survivors encounter various physical and psychosocial challenges after hospital discharge. Systematic reviews consistently suggest the importance of self-management in promoting post-stroke recovery. However, stroke survivors' performance of self-management behaviors after returning home is poorly understood. This study was conducted to explore how stroke survivors manage their life after returning home from the hospital. This was a qualitative study with individual, semi-structured interviews. We recruited a purposive sample of adults who had a first or recurrent ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke and currently lived at home. Participants were asked about their post-stroke experiences, challenges encountered, and strategies adopted for managing post-stroke conditions. Data were transcribed verbatim and analyzed using thematic analysis. A total of 30 stroke survivors (mean age = 61.97 years, SD = 10.20) were interviewed. Most were men (n = 18), married (n = 25), and retired (n = 21). Two-thirds had experienced an ischemic stroke. Five key themes emerged: pursuing lifelong learning to live well after a stroke; reinterpreting unpleasant experiences as new learning opportunities; engaging in life activities to better adapt to post-stroke challenges; being confident in oneself to persevere in self-management behaviors; and continuing to accept the current self and explore the new self. Participants regarded learning as a prerequisite for improving their affected functions and managing uncertainties in recovery. Learning requires self-participation, building self-efficacy and positive outcome expectations, testing and adapting strategies to one's own health conditions, and engaging in leisure or social activities. These findings will guide future development of interventions for enhancing stroke survivors' recovery outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Post-stroke depression (PSD) is a major complication in stroke survivors, especially in elderly stroke survivors. But there are still no objective methods to diagnose depression in elderly stroke survivors. Thus, this study was conducted to identify potential biomarkers for diagnosing elderly PSD subjects. METHODS Elderly (60 years or older) stroke survivors with depression were assigned into the PSD group, and elderly stroke survivors without depression and elderly healthy controls (HCs) were assigned into the non-depressed group. Urinary metabolite signatures obtained from gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS)-based metabolomic platform were collected. Both univariate and multivariate statistical analysis were used to find the differential urinary metabolites between the two groups. RESULTS The 78 elderly HCs, 122 elderly stroke survivors without depression and 124 elderly PSD subjects were included. A set of 13 differential urinary metabolites responsible for distinguishing PSD subjects from non-depressed subjects were found. The Phenylalanine, tyrosine and tryptophan biosynthesis, Phenylalanine metabolism and Galactose metabolism were found to be significantly changed in elderly PSD subjects. The phenylalanine was significantly negatively correlated with age and depressive symptoms. Meanwhile, a biomarker panel consisting of 3-hydroxyphenylacetic acid, tyrosine, phenylalanine, sucrose, palmitic acid, glyceric acid, azelaic acid and α-aminobutyric acid was identified. CONCLUSION These results provided candidate molecules for developing objective methods to diagnose depression in elderly stroke survivors, suggested that taking supplements of phenylalanine might be an effective method to prevent depression in elderly stroke survivors, and would be helpful for future revealing the pathophysiological mechanism of PSD.

Abstract
A spectrum of neuropsychiatric disorders is a common complication from stroke. Neuropsychiatric disorders after stroke have negative effects on functional recovery, increasing the rate of mortality and disability of stroke survivors. Given the vital significance of maintaining physical and mental health in stroke patients, neuropsychiatric issues after stroke have raised concerns by clinicians and researchers. This mini-review focuses on the most common non-cognitive functional neuropsychiatric disorders seen after stroke, including depressive disorders, anxiety disorders, post-traumatic stress disorder, psychosis, and psychotic disorders. For each condition, the clinical performance, epidemiology, identification of the therapeutic implication, and strategies are reviewed and discussed; the main opinions and perspectives presented here are based on the latest controlled studies, meta-analysis, or updated systematic reviews. In the absence of data from controlled studies, consensus recommendations were provided accordingly.

between 5-HTTLPR polymorphism and PSD. Data were evaluated
using Stata software. Results The L allele was significantly related to the S allele (OR = 0.57, 95%
confidence interval (CI) 0.49–0.65). The dominant genotype LL + LS was
related to SS (OR = 0.48, 95%CI 0.39–0.59), the recessive genotype LL was
related to LS + SS (OR = 0.39, 95%CI: 0.30–0.51), the homozygous genotype LL
was related to SS (OR = 0.24, 95%CI 0.18–0.33), and the heterozygous
genotype LS was related to SS (OR = 0.55, 95 CI 0.44–0.68). All the
differences were significant. Ethnicity subgroup analysis showed significant
differences among the five genotypes in both Asians and Caucasians.
Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium (HWE) subgroup analysis showed that, after
removal of a non-HWE-conforming control group, all five genotypes were
significant and genotypes LL, LS + LL, and LS and L allele had beneficial
effects on recovery from PSD. Conclusion 5-HTTLPR gene polymorphism is strongly associated with PSD,
and the LL, LS + LL, and LS genotypes and L allele may protect against this
condition.
