This study used a qualitative approach to describe the experience of the first 3 months post-stroke in order to identify factors which facilitate successfully living with aphasia. Fifteen participants completed semi-structured interviews and self-perceived ratings of how successfully he or she was living with aphasia. A number of themes were identified from the interviews, including: a need to do things in order to be actively engaged in rehabilitation; increase independence and have a purpose in life; the importance of social support; the value of rehabilitation; a need to adapt and make adjustments; and having a positive outlook. These results suggest that a range of service delivery models need to be considered during the early stages post-stroke in order to address individual needs and so that long-term outcomes of people with aphasia may be improved.
本研究采用定性研究方法来描述中风后前3个月的经历，以确定有助于失语症患者成功生活的因素。15名参与者完成了半结构化访谈以及对自己失语症生活状况的自我评估。从访谈中确定了若干主题，包括：为积极参与康复而需要做一些事情；增强独立性并拥有生活目标；社会支持的重要性；康复的价值；适应和调整的必要性；以及保持积极的心态。这些结果表明，在中风后的早期阶段需要考虑一系列服务提供模式，以满足个体需求，从而改善失语症患者的长期预后。
