“…Memory and concentration showed correlation with physical mobility, pain, energy, physical isolation, and emotional reactions [8,9]. Communication had a correlation with social isolation [16,48], and feelings showed correlation with social isolation and emotional reactions [49]. Fatigue showed correlation with energy, emotional reactions, physical mobility, and social isolation similar to the original questionnaire [26].…”

“…In Spain, about 4% of the people over 65 years of age live with very disabling sequelae of stroke [5,6]. There is a wide variety of clinical manifestations, such as motor, sensory, perception and cognitive disturbances, urinary and fecal incontinence, swallowing and visual problems, pain, communication, and behavioral alterations [7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16]. These symptoms affect activities of daily life (ADL), increase the risk of falls, and have a negative impact on quality of life (QoL) [17][18][19][20][21][22].…”

Background: Stroke causes a wide variety of clinical manifestations that may have a negative impact on quality of life. Therefore, it is very important to use specific instruments for measuring quality of life in individuals who suffered a stroke. The aim of this study was to develop a psychometrically validated Spanish version of the Newcastle stroke-specific quality of life measure (NEWSQOL). Methods: A psychometric validation of the Spanish version of the NEWSQOL questionnaire was carried out in 159 patients. The reliability (intraclass correlation coefficient and Cronbach’s alpha coefficient), validity (factorial analysis and Spearman’s coefficient), feasibility (response rate), and the ceiling and floor effects were calculated. Results: Internal consistency showed that Cronbach’s alpha coefficient was 0.93. The test–retest reliability was high or excellent for all domains (range 0.71–0.97 p < 0.001). The response rate of the questionnaire was 100% and the average administration time was 20.5 (±7.2) min. No ceiling effect was detected and two domains (pain and vision) may have a significant potential for floor effect. Construct validity showed that all the variables are important enough to keep them all in the questionnaire. Concerning convergent construct validity, a high correlation was found with the Nottingham Health Profile, the Barthel Index, and the Modified Rankin Scale. Conclusion: The Spanish version of the NEWSQOL questionnaire is reliable, valid, and feasible to evaluate quality of life in the Spanish population.

“…The number of stroke patients around the world has increased considerably in recent decades [ 2 ], especially since the global pandemic started, where stroke arose as a complication of COVID-19, although up to now, its incidence remains unknown [ 3 , 4 ]. Clinical manifestations are wide and varied, including motor, sensory, perception and cognitive disturbances; urinary and faecal incontinence; swallowing and visual problems; and pain, communication and behavioural alterations [ 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 ]. Although motor disturbances might be responsible for a high rate of disability, sometimes patients report other important aspects [ 15 ], such as difficulties in performing activities of daily living (ADL), risk of falls and a negative impact on their quality of life (QoL) [ 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 , 21 ].…”

Objective: To evaluate the responsiveness of the Spanish version of the Newcastle Stroke-specific Quality of Life measure (NEWSQOL) to assess quality of life in Spanish people after suffering a stroke. Design: A prospective observational study was conducted to assess the responsiveness of the Spanish version of NEWSQOL. The sample contained 128 patients who filled in the questionnaires before and after a physical therapy intervention. The responsiveness was assessed with p-values using the effect size (ES) and the standardized response means (SRMs) of the change. Besides, two other external criteria were used to distinguish patients who improved with the treatment from those who remained stable. This classification was based on one functional independence measure (the Barthel Index) and one disability measure (the modified Rankin Scale). Results: There was a statistically significant correlation (Spearman’s coefficient = p < 0.01) between the domains of the Spanish version of NEWSQOL in relation to the Barthel Index and the modified Rankin Scale. All domains showed between marked-to-mild change responsiveness except sleep and relationships; mobility (ES 0.66 and SRM 0.92) and activities of daily living (ES 0.75 and SRM 0.87) were markedly responsive; communication (ES 0.38 and SRM 0.61) was moderately responsive; and pain, vision, cognition, feelings, emotions and fatigue were mildly responsive (ES 0.21-0.41 and SRM 0.23-0.44). Conclusion: The Spanish version of NEWSQOL shows between marked and mild responsiveness to measure the perception of QoL in post-stroke patients. Therefore, its use can be suitable for evaluation studies, clinical trials and clinical practice.

RESUMO Objetivo o presente estudo comparou a qualidade de vida e percepções de cuidadores de sujeitos afásicos inseridos em um contexto de terapia grupal para afásicos. Métodos trata-se de um estudo transversal, observacional e quantitativo, realizado com 13 cuidadores de indivíduos afásicos que receberam atendimento grupal e 13 cuidadores de sujeitos afásicos que não receberam atendimento fonoaudiólogo grupal. Para coleta dos dados, foram realizadas entrevistas individuais com os cuidadores e utilizou-se o Questionário de Sobrecarga do Cuidador (Burden Interview – Zarit). Resultados constatou-se que 45,2% dos cuidadores referiram sobrecarga de moderada a severa. No entanto, a sobrecarga avaliada por meio do questionário foi de leve a moderada e sem diferença significativa entre o grupo com e sem terapia fonoaudiológica. Conclusão existe importante impacto na qualidade de vida de cuidadores de pacientes com afasia. Novos estudos são necessários para aprofundamento do papel da terapia fonoaudiológica em grupo na qualidade de vida de cuidadores.
