Patients' Views on the Impact of Stroke on Their Roles and Self: A Thematic Synthesis of Qualitative Studies

Patients' Views on the Impact of Stroke on Their Roles and Self: A Thematic Synthesis of Qualitative Studies

Samenvatting

Objective: To synthesize patients' views on the impact of stroke on their roles and self. Data Sources: PubMed, CINAHL, Embase, PsycINFO, and Cochrane searched from inception to September 2010, using a combination of relevant Medical Subject Headings and free-text terms. This search was supplemented by reference tracking. Study Selection: Qualitative studies reporting the views of people poststroke. The search yielded 494 records. Opinion articles, quantitative studies, or those reporting somatic functioning were excluded. Thirty-three studies were included. Data Extraction: Data extraction involved identifying all text presented as "results" or "findings" in the included studies, and importing this into software for the analysis of qualitative data. Data Synthesis: The abstracted text was coded and then subject to a thematic analysis and synthesis, which was discussed and agreed by the research team. Three overarching themes were identified: (1) managing discontinuity is a struggle; (2) regaining roles: to continue or adapt? and (3) context influences management of roles and self. Regaining valued roles and self was an ongoing struggle, and discontinuity and uncertainty were central to the adjustment process after stroke. Conclusions: The thematic synthesis provides new insights into the poststroke experience. Regaining or developing a new self and roles was problematic. Interventions targeted at self-management should be focused on the recognition of this problem and included in rehabilitation, to facilitate adjustment and continuity as far as possible in life poststroke.
