Stroke survivors may be less lonely, have better recovery if they can share their feelings
- Stroke survivors who felt they could not talk about their feelings or fears about their health with close friends or family reported feeling lonelier and had worse physical and mental recovery when assessed one year after the stroke.
- Difficulty sharing their feelings with family/friends was as important as the severity of the stroke for identifying patients who would experience greater disability and poorer physical function one year after the stroke.
- Supporting caregivers, family and health care professionals to provide a safe space that encourages stroke survivors to share their feelings and fears after having a stroke may enhance stroke recovery.
