To evaluate the durability of quality-of-life outcomes after 5-years of participation in an Aphasia Center program using Life Participation Approach to Aphasia (LPAA) values.
Evidence-based practice quality improvement project.
Ambulatory care Aphasia Center part of a larger health care system.
Participants included 10 clients with aphasia; 2 women and 8 men with a mean age of 66.5 years. All participants had consistent participation in LPAA aphasia center services over a 5-year period (n=10).
Group programming was provided using the LPAA as the service delivery model.
Client reported outcome measures were used. The Stroke and Aphasia Quality of Life Scale (SAQOL-39) was administered at 3 time periods: T1, baseline; T2, 1-year participation; and T3, 5-year participation. Program evaluation data were collected via a custom generated, self-reported electronic survey at the 5-year mark.
Outcomes indicated significant differences in self-reported quality-of-life scores from T1 to T2 and T1 to T3. No differences were observed between T2 to T3 for the mean score, physical domain, and communication domain of the SAQOL-39.
The project provided further support for the use of LPAA values with clients experiencing chronic aphasia.
运用失语症生活参与方法（LPAA）价值观，评估参与失语症中心项目5年后生活质量结果的持久性。
基于证据的实践质量改进项目。
大型医疗保健系统中的门诊失语症中心。
参与者包括10名失语症患者；2名女性和8名男性，平均年龄66.5岁。所有参与者在5年期间持续参与LPAA失语症中心服务（n = 10）。
采用LPAA作为服务提供模式进行小组规划。
使用患者报告的结局指标。在三个时间段进行卒中与失语症生活质量量表（SAQOL - 39）评估：T1，基线；T2，参与1年时；T3，参与5年时。在5年节点通过定制生成的自我报告电子调查问卷收集项目评估数据。
结果表明，从T1到T2以及从T1到T3，自我报告的生活质量得分存在显著差异。SAQOL - 39的平均得分、身体领域和沟通领域在T2到T3之间未观察到差异。
该项目为对患有慢性失语症的患者使用LPAA价值观提供了进一步支持。
