Stroke among adults of working age is increasing. We aimed to explore the experience of stroke among young women in Ireland. In total, 12 women (aged between 18 and 50 years) participated in semi-structured interviews. Data were analysed using interpretative phenomenological analysis. Four super-ordinate themes were identified: stroke as an illness of later life ('obviously it's for older people'), post-stroke selves, a desire for peer support and the impact of stroke on relationships. Findings indicate the importance of addressing the specific needs of younger stroke patients from admission to recovery through provision of inclusive all-age acute stroke services with tailored rehabilitation.
工作年龄成年人的中风发病率正在上升。我们旨在探究爱尔兰年轻女性的中风经历。共有12名女性（年龄在18至50岁之间）参与了半结构化访谈。采用解释现象学分析方法对数据进行了分析。确定了四个上位主题：中风是晚年疾病（“显然这是老年人得的病”）、中风后的自我、对同伴支持的渴望以及中风对人际关系的影响。研究结果表明，通过提供具有针对性康复服务的包容性全年龄段急性中风服务，满足年轻中风患者从入院到康复的特定需求非常重要。
