Cognitive behavioral therapy for post-stroke depression: A meta-analysis

Brief cognitive behavioural therapy for post-stroke ‘delusional infestation’ in a 71-year-old man: a single case experimental design

“…Further study in this area is important as post-stroke neuropsychiatric symptoms occur in at least 30% of survivors and are a major predictor of poor outcomes (Chemerinski and Robinson, 2000;Hackett et al, 2014). While there is evidence for the use of CBT in post-stroke emotional disorder (Wang et al, 2018), the evidence base for the treatment of post-stroke psychosis is under-developed (Stangeland et al, 2018). Although this study shows promise for the application of a psychological treatment model to delusional infestation, it cannot conclude that CBT is an effective treatment for this condition as a whole.…”

Evaluating the Effectiveness of Integrated Intervention Program in Improving on Quality of Life and Personality Type in Heart Disease Patients

“…The cognitive triad, as another important cognitive factor is the patients' appraisals of themselves, the world, and the future. The negative cognitive triad can make serious psychological problems for patients, because it leads to a negative assessment of their abilities and aptitudes, low selfesteem, and negative self-confidence (36). These negative self-perceptions decrease patients' motivation for recovery and medical adherence.…”

“…Previous studies found that the patients with high selfefficacy are more likely to recover (36). Similarly, cognitive flexibility can help patients to change their negative perceptions and take more positive psychological perceptions about their abilities, while, some studies showed that individuals' positive perceptions about themselves are significantly correlated with the quality of life, healthy lifestyle, and the perspective about the future.…”

Illness perceptions of stroke survivors: Predictors and changes over time – A 1 year follow-up study

“…In summary, IP are related to a range of health outcomes and have been influenced by personalised interventions in other disease categories. Exploring the course of IP and the relation with physical and mental health in stroke patients will provide insight into the opportunity and necessity of targeting IP as part of rehabilitation treatment, additional to medication and cognitive behavioural therapy [30]. We conducted a prospective study in a large sample of stroke patients who underwent inpatient specialised medical rehabilitation, and aimed to: 1) describe the IP of stroke patients and their course between 3 and 12 months after the start of rehabilitation; 2) identify clusters of patients with comparable IP trajectories and determine their characteristics; 3) identify the associations between IP clusters and mental health 12 months after the start of rehabilitation.…”
