Outcome measures
Primary outcome
Experiences of patients and health care providers with the current care for mood disturbances after stroke.
Secondary outcome
Baseline characteristics for patients:
- Stroke related factors: data of stroke onset, type of stroke, localisation in the brain, consequences of stroke (such as as paralysis hand/foot, sensory function hand/foot based on observation by researcher) - Capability of adequate communication, measured with:
o The Frenchay Aphasia Screening Test (FAST). The comprehension and expressions subsets of the FAST will be used with an age-related cut-off value of <17 for people of <61 years; <16 for people of 61-70 years, or <15 for people >70 years.
- Socio-demographic characteristics: gender, age, marital status, living situation, educational level.
Baseline characteristics for health care providers:
- Occupation
- Employer - Duration of working at organization
- Socio-demographic characteristics: gender, age, educational level
Background summary
After stroke, approximately 30% of patients suffer from mood disturbances, such as symptoms of depression and anxiety. Although mood disturbances can have a negative impact on recovery after stroke, stroke care is often mainly focused on physical recovery. However, adequate treatment of these mood disturbances during rehabilitation cannot improve only these disturbances, but also the general recovery after stroke. To be able to develop adequate treatment, the aim of this study is to get insight into the current care for mood disturbances after stroke as provided by stroke services during the first year after stroke, by focusing on experiences of patients and health care providers with the best practices in this care, as well as their needs in receiving and providing this care.
Study objective
To get insight in the current care for mood disturbances after stroke, by identifying best practices and needs as experienced by patients and healthcare professionals.
Study design
An observational qualitative study with a grounded theory approach. To get insight in the current care for mood disturbances after stroke, observations were conducted during regular care moments between patients and health care providers in participating organisations of five Dutch stroke services. Individual interviews with patients were conducted to elaborate on what has been seen during participating observations and to identify the best practices and needs as experienced by patients.
Intervention
No interventions.
Age

- Being 18 years or older
For health care providers:
