Post-stroke patients with aphasia have higher levels of psychological distress. We aimed to find the relation between post-stroke aphasia and depression, anxiety and personality traits.
One month after stroke, 61 consecutive patients with stroke were included in this study. Thirty post-stroke patients with aphasia and 31 patients without aphasia. We used the following scales a clinical-friendly: Aphasic test, Eysenck Personality Questionnaire, Hamilton anxiety and Beck Depression Inventory.
Depression and anxiety were more prominent among patients with aphasia than stroke without aphasia. Psychosis was more prominent among post-stroke patients with aphasia.
Our results may not exclusively exclude pre-morbid personality traits.
Our study highlights the growing need to develop community rehabilitation services in the developing world, which address both physical and psychological morbidity.
中风后失语患者的心理困扰程度更高。我们旨在找出中风后失语与抑郁、焦虑及人格特质之间的关系。
中风后1个月,本研究纳入了61例连续的中风患者。其中30例中风后失语患者和31例无失语的患者。我们使用了以下便于临床操作的量表:失语症测试、艾森克人格问卷、汉密尔顿焦虑量表和贝克抑郁量表。
失语患者的抑郁和焦虑比无失语的中风患者更为突出。中风后失语患者的精神病性更为突出。
我们的结果可能无法完全排除病前人格特质的影响。
我们的研究凸显了在发展中世界发展社区康复服务的迫切需求,这些服务应同时解决身体和心理疾病问题。
