Abstract EN
The psychosocial adjustment process after stroke is complicated and protracted.
The language is the most important tool for making sense of experiences and for human interplay, making persons with aphasia especially prone to psychosocial problems.
Persons with aphasia are systematically excluded from research projects due to methodological challenges.
This study explored how seven persons with aphasia experienced participating in a complex nursing intervention aimed at supporting the psychosocial adjustment process and promoting psychosocial well-being.
The intervention was organized as an individual, dialogue-based collaboration process based upon ideas from “Guided self-determination.” The content addressed psychosocial issues as mood, social relationships, meaningful activities, identity, and body changes.
Principles from “Supported conversation for adults with aphasia” were used to facilitate the conversations.
The data were obtained by participant observation during the intervention, qualitative interviews 2 weeks, 6 months, and 12 months after the intervention and by standardized clinical instruments prior to the intervention and at 2 weeks and 12 months after the intervention.
Assistance in narrating about themselves and their experiences with illness, psychological support and motivation to move on during the difficult adjustment process, and exchange of knowledge and information were experienced as beneficial and important by the participants in this study.
