Background: Access to treatments for mood disorders may pose a challenge to individuals with compromised communication ability. Speech-language pathologists (SLPs) have previously reported that their clients with aphasia decline formal psychological support; however, their role in their clients' help-seeking has not been explored. Aims: To investigate SLPs' perspectives on how they currently support help-seeking for mood problems in people with aphasia and factors they perceive to be impacting service uptake.

“…It also provided a sense of pride and purpose because of the activities that become possible and the roles that can be accessed. Other similar studies [41,42] considering the journey of people with stroke have recognized social identity as a key factor in enhancing quality of life. Past research [13,41] has found themes related to reclaiming social identity included: agency, control, disease concept and doing things as factors which positively impacted on mental health.…”

Background: The disruption of a stroke can impact an individual’s sense of social identity. A comprehensive review is required to understand the factors and processes that influence changes in social identity following a stroke. Aims: To undertake a review of literature to discover a process of social identity evolution for people with stroke and identify the factors which influence it. Methods: A meta-ethnographic approach to review was undertaken and a subtle realist viewpoint was assumed. Studies were included if they documented experiences and perceptions relating to stroke. Eight electronic databases were searched from January 2009 until January 2019. Quality assessment and synthesis techniques were applied. Findings: Out of the 18 papers included, a total of 251 (141/251, 56% male, 109/251, 43% female, 1/251, 0.4% undisclosed) individuals were included within the synthesis. The evolution of social-identity model was developed and identified with five key stages to represent a process that individuals with stroke can experience. Factors which influence the process were identified and direct implications for clinical practice are given. Conclusion: This review has highlighted the major themes within the evolution of social identity and management strategies for risk taking to achieve a desired future. Further research is required to consider how these findings may be tested in clinical practice.

“…Competence in producing personal narratives is considered important for a speaker’s social and psychological well-being as it gives them the opportunity to “make sense” (again) of the experience during the telling [17]. Personal narratives are closely intertwined with cultural identity [3] and are considered “the point at which the individual and culture intersect” [4, p. 323].…”

“…Within the World Health Organization’s International Classification of Functioning [19], the ultimate goal of aphasia rehabilitation is to enable PWA to daily participate actively in their natural family environment and community with respect to autonomy, life roles and leisure activities, for example [20]. Activity and participation fosters a healthier quality of life as reflected by research on biographic-narrative intervention [17] and on treatment outcomes important to PWA and their families [20]. …”

Evaluating Personal Stroke Narratives from Bilingual Greek-English Immigrants with Aphasia

Objective: For people with aphasia (PWA) and their significant others, narratives are intricately intertwined with quality of life, culture, and social participation. This paper reports stories told by bilingual people with aphasia (bPWA), describing the events or consequences of a stroke on their lives. Patients and Methods: Six participants with chronic mild-moderate anomia (mean age 70 years) spontaneously produced a narrative recounting their personal experience of stroke in their native language (Greek) and in their second language (English). All bPWA had learned English in early adulthood upon migration from Greece to Australia, not through formal teaching but on the job (e.g., in the factory). The bPWA had lived in Australia for 46 years (average) and were less than 4 years post-stroke. Results: Narratives in the two languages underwent quantitative (number of propositions, noun/verb tokens) and qualitative analyses (ratings of coherence, ratings of clarity). Most bPWA produced coherent “tellable” stories despite disruptions in language because of aphasia. Overall, stories were better told (length, complexity of content, temporal-causal sequencing, reference) in Greek – their native language. Conclusion: The results have implications for policy-makers providing health and welfare services to ageing immigrant populations. The findings are also relevant to other countries that have large immigrant populations of stroke survivors.
