This study explored the effects of a cerebrovascular accident on seven older couples. The long interview method was used to identify major themes in seven couples' accounts of their post-stroke effects. Four major themes emerged which included experiencing physical changes, feeling down and worrying about the future, being restricted and adjusting to limits and seeking a new balance in the marriage. Stroke survivors and spouses differed in how they described the impact of the stroke for older couples. Support groups and family counseling may be used to facilitate couple adaptation after stroke. Longitudinal research is needed to explore adaptive coping post-stroke in both stroke survivors and stroke spouses.
本研究探讨了脑血管意外对七对老年夫妇的影响。采用长时间访谈法来确定七对夫妇关于中风后影响的叙述中的主要主题。出现了四个主要主题，包括经历身体变化、情绪低落和对未来感到担忧、受到限制并适应局限以及在婚姻中寻求新的平衡。中风幸存者和配偶在描述中风对老年夫妇的影响方面存在差异。支持小组和家庭咨询可用于促进中风后夫妇的适应。需要进行纵向研究以探索中风幸存者和中风配偶中风后的适应性应对。
