“…Applying a family‐centred approach to rehabilitation for parenting stroke survivors can increase healthcare providers’ knowledge of the impact of stroke on the parental role. Nurses can facilitate this approach by being attentive to stroke survivors’ and their families’ expectations for recovery and life, helping them to develop realistic rehabilitation plans, as well as encouraging family participation in rehabilitation activities (Clare, 2018).…”

“…We reiterate this recommendation and suggest counselling be considered as early as appropriately possible following the stroke event. Nurses are well‐suited to provide information about emotional and practical support including neighbouring care agencies and charities (Clare, 2018). Additionally, younger adults with children should be educated about the benefits of peer support and encouraged to connect with other parents who have suffered strokes.…”

Aims and objectives To explore the experience of parenting for younger stroke survivors (aged 18 to 64 years at the time of the stroke). Background Stroke among younger adults increased 43% between 2000 and 2010. The social, emotional and physical functioning of younger adults affects multiple aspects of their lives including parenting. There is limited research on the experience of parenting after stroke. Design This is a qualitative descriptive study. Methods We conducted individual semi‐structured interviews with 10 younger adults who were actively parenting children under the age of 18 years at the time of stroke. Conventional content analysis was used to analyse the data. We report the methods and results using the COREQ checklist. Results Impairments from stroke disrupted participants’ identity, relationships and roles as a parent. The degree to which parenting abilities and behaviours were affected by stroke was contingent upon the type and severity of impairments as well as the children's age. Participants also observed emotional and behavioural changes in their children in response to their stroke. Support from family, friends, healthcare providers and children's school/day care was crucial to participants throughout their stroke recovery. Two major themes emerged: (a) finding a new normal; and (b) support for parenting post‐stroke. Conclusions Findings enable a deeper understanding of the distinct parenting challenges younger stroke survivors face and can inform future research on this population. Relevance for clinical practice Study findings highlight the need for continual and tailored follow‐up by nurses and other allied healthcare professionals to decrease the difficulty stroke survivors experience when trying to resume their role as parents.

“…For this reason, nurses should be actively involved in patient safety and fall-prevention awareness and interventions. [9] Although fall prevention presents a multi-professional approach, nurses play an important role in outcomes in fall prevention, as they have close and continuous contact with the patients in the day-to-day nursing care they provide in comparison to other health professionals. Detecting patients at high risk for falling is an important nursing assessment, so that implementation of individualized interventions for each patient according to the risk factors presented.…”
