“…However, patients with vascular stroke may have a greater understanding of symptoms, experience less uncertainty, and feel more supported by medical interventions. This is likely to influence their coping, leading them to not engage in unhelpful coping behaviours, despite high anxiety levels (Groeneveld et al, 2019). High reports of resting behaviours from patients with functional stroke symptoms may be partly explained by patients responding to an acute illness and being encouraged to take rest during their inpatient hospital admission.…”

Abstract. Background: High rates of psychological distress are reported in functional conditions and vascular stroke, but there is limited understanding of how patients with functional neurological symptoms in stroke settings respond to symptoms. Aims: This study compared patients with functional stroke symptoms to those with vascular stroke and chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS). Methods: A prospective cohort of 56 patients with functional stroke symptoms were age-gender matched to patients with vascular stroke and CFS. Analysis of variance compared groups on cognitive and behavioral responses to symptoms, psychological distress, and functioning. Sensitivity analyses controlled for known confounders. The proportions of clinical anxiety and depression were compared between groups. Results: The functional stroke symptom group had a higher proportion of clinical anxiety cases than the CFS group, and a higher proportion of clinical depression cases than the vascular stroke group. Patients with functional stroke symptoms reported the highest rate of “damage beliefs” and “all-or-nothing” behaviors and greater symptom focusing and resting behavior than patients with vascular stroke. Limitations: Larger cohorts and a longitudinal design would strengthen study findings. Conclusion: Compared to patients with vascular stroke or CFS, patients with functional stroke symptoms show a somewhat distinct profile of illness-related beliefs and behaviors, as well as higher rates of clinical anxiety. Understanding such group differences provides some insights into aetiology and cognitive-behavioral responses. Appropriate support and referral should be available to patients with functional stroke symptoms to address distress and reduce the likelihood of severe impairment.

“…They have the perception that stroke is a disease of stress, worry and fatigue, so they do not immediately seek or ask for emergency medical services for the treatment of stroke patients. They consider that the symptoms of a stroke that arise are an ordinary disease so they only wait until the symptoms heal by themselves (Groeneveld, 2019).…”

Background: Stroke is a functional brain disorder characterized by neurological deficits or nerve paralysis that occurs suddenly due to obstruction of blood flow to the brain. In 2018 the prevalence of stroke in Indonesia has increased compared to 2013, namely the prevalence of stroke rose from 7 percent to 10.9 percent. South Kalimantan ranks 5th in Indonesia with a stroke prevalence of 12.7%. The duration of stroke is caused by the delays in referring patients to the hospital. Poor perception is one of the factors that causes delay in patients being taken to the hospital for immediate treatment. Purpose: This study aimed to learn about family perceptions of diseases related to patient referral in Empirical studies in the past 5 years. Methods: This study uses the literature review method. a database with the electronic search on Ebsco, ProQuest, Google Scholar, and DOAJ that published in 2016-2019. Results: There is a correlation between the perception of the disease with referral time in stroke patients. Lack of knowledge about the symptoms of stroke symptoms that arise so that the perception of symptoms that arise is an ordinary disease and can disappear by itself. Conclusion: Closely Banjar culture causes families to choose to only bring patients to traditional medicine rather than bringing stroke patients to the hospital. The family has the perception that stroke is a common disease that can be cured by bringing patients to traditional medicine

“…Needless to note that the cycle of CAS-induced dysfunctional and temporary coping is exacerbated by the long-term reflection of inappropriate metacognitive be- liefs, rumination associated with concern, and hypervigilance (24), and the interruption of this cycle can disrupt this disorder. Regarding the higher effectiveness of ACT than BA, the rumination and the perception of negative emotions seem to be induced by high neural activity in the amygdala, hippocampus, cingulate, and dorsal cortex in patients suffering from depression (25).…”

Background: Cognitive-attentional syndrome (CAS) is one of the primary constructs of depression, the treatment of which is highly challenging because of its high prevalence and the emergence of symptoms such as feelings of sadness, emptiness, and hopelessness. Objectives: The present study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of behavioral activation (BA) and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) in CAS in patients with depression. Methods: This quasi-experimental research utilized a pretest, posttest, and two-month follow-up design with a control group. The study population comprised 260 patients with a diagnosis of depression who referred to the psychological centers of Ahvaz in 2019. The sample consisted of 45 patients with depression selected by convenience sampling. We randomly divided the participants into two experimental groups (BA and ACT) and a control group (n = 15 per group). The research instrument included the cognitive-attentional syndrome (CAS-1) questionnaire. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 24.0 with descriptive and inferential statistics, such as mean, standard deviation, and multivariate analysis of covariance (MANCOVA). Results: In terms of CAS and its components, there was a significant difference between the experimental and control groups in the posttest and follow-up phases (P = 0.0001). Besides, ACT and BA significantly reduced CAS and its components in the posttest phase (P = 0.0001). However, the effectiveness of BA in decreasing CAS and its components remained during the follow-up phase. Furthermore, the results showed that ACT was more effective in reducing attention to threat and metacognitive beliefs during the posttest phase. Conclusions: According to research findings, both BA and ACT are efficient therapies in reducing CAS in patients with depression. Thus, both approaches can be used to strengthen treatment interventions to reduce CAS in patients with depression.
