“…One explanation is that relatives do not expect to receive care and ‘as long as staff do not appear unpleasant, the participants are content’ (Hertzberg & Ekman 1996). Further, the findings indicate that the period of hospitalization does not influence the importance of the needs, something that is confirmed by other studies (Davis‐Martin 1994, McLennan et al . 1996).…”

The findings of the study indicate that the needs of the relatives of stroke patients are best divided into three categories. These are the need for information, counselling (a combination of communication and support) and accessibility. In all cases, the most important need of the relatives of stroke patients is that their questions are answered honestly. The findings show a discrepancy between the importance of the needs and the degree to which these needs are met. Multivariate data analyses show that female relatives requested most information, whereas highly educated relatives needed less counselling. Satisfaction about the care provided is positively influenced by the period of hospitalization and negatively influenced by prior experiences of hospitalization.

“…People should be provided with a moment where they can express their own needs when their partner or parent is in rehabilitation and then when back at home [55]. Moreover, policy decisions could be taken to coordinate and provide services [9,56] to families and spouses by considering the specific needs that result from aphasia and communication limitations.…”

Results confirm the long-term needs of spouses in adjusting to the aphasia of their partner, as well as the limited services available to them. Many of the needs reflected spouses' concerns about their partner, while others were a consequence of their caregiving role as well as the unavailability of support. Spouses of people with aphasia should have access to support during and after rehabilitation.

“…The provision of individually tailored information based on patients’ expressed concerns can be successful in alleviating some of these concerns (Dickinson 1996). Understanding what patients identify as questions and concerns early in rehabilitation can assist in the provision of relevant information to the patient (McLennan et al. 1996).…”
