“…A study conducted by Mariana Mendes Bahia et al on quality of life after post stroke aphasia and differences between uent and non-uent aphasia where the result showed high score in uent aphasia which shows that better quality of life than the non-uent aphasia [25]. Non uent aphasia may cause di culty in communication which affects the psychologically due to depression, anxiety, stress social isolation, and dependency on caregivers to communicate and participate in any task involves effort or energy.…”

Background: Stroke-specific quality of life (QoL) is an important outcome measure in stroke rehabilitation, reflecting the impact of stroke and its associated impairments on an individual's overall well-being and daily functioning. Understanding the factors that predict stroke specific QoL in post-stroke aphasia patients in Pakistan is crucial for developing targeted interventions and improving the rehabilitation process. Objective: to determine the factors predicted the stroke specific quality of life in post stroke aphasia patients in Pakistan. Methodology: This cross-sectional analytical study was conducted in 18 months from June 2021 to December 2022 at RHS Rehabilitation Centre Islamabad Pakistan. A total of n=134 independent participants with fluent and non-fluent aphasia at least six-month post stroke, and able to follow one step command were included in the study through non-probability convenient sampling technique. The stroke specific quality of life (SS-QoL) scale was used to assess the quality of life in the participants, while the list of predictors was developed from the literature. SPSS version 21 was used for statistical analysis. Result: A multiple regression was run to predict the quality of life from marital status, gender, family status, patient's socioeconomic status, types of strokes, types of aphasia, and comorbidities. These variables statistically significantly predicted quality of life {F(13,120)=10.366, p<0.001}. All variables cause 47.8% (Adj. R2=0.478) variance in stroke specific quality of life in aphasia patients. Conclusion: the male gender, married marital status, middle and upper socioeconomic status, ischemic stroke compared to hemorrhagic stroke, fluent aphasia, and the cardiac disease compared to other comorbidities positively affect the quality of life in post stroke aphasia patients. But age and the family system did not show any impact on the quality of life.

“…Additionally, a statistically significant difference was noted in the overall quality of life in patients with complete, severe, and moderate aphasia. Bachia and Chun [38] found that people with non-fluent aphasia rate their quality of life as poorer than people with fluent aphasia. The three most affected domains are language, social roles, and thinking.…”

Aphasia leads to disability, which, in turn, limits and can result in a complete breakdown of roles and social bonds. Thus, the aim of this study was to assess the impact of aphasia disorders on the quality of life of patients after an ischemic stroke. A prospective study among 116 patients with an ischemic stroke (the study group: 68 participants, 38.25% female, included patients with aphasia after a stroke; the control group: 48 patients, 37.5% female, without aphasia) was conducted at the Neurological Department of the Provincial Specialist Hospital in Włocławek. The patients were assessed twice: the first assessment was conducted during hospitalization using the Aphasia Dynamics Assessment Scale and the Aphasia Test Method of Jadwiga Szumska, and the second assessment of the quality of life after six months was conducted using the WHOQOL-BREF questionnaire. The patients from the control group rated their overall quality of life more highly than the patients from the study group. Statistically significant differences were observed in the physical domain, the psychological domain, and the environmental domain. The analysis of sociodemographic factors indicated a negative impact on the quality of life of the following variables: female gender, 55–64 years of age, vocational education, and place of residence—rural area. The degree and type of aphasia influenced the overall quality of life. Studies with larger samples are necessary.

“…The implicit criterion was used when the evaluation does not present the category nor the dimension related to such criteria; however, the approach of these aspects is implicit in the protocol questions. It should be mentioned that there are few studies addressing individuals with aphasia, especially due to the difficulty to apply the evaluations to deal with linguistic-cognitive alterations 37 . This condition may also explain the fact that publications were unstable over the years.…”

Assessment of individuals with aphasia: an integrative literature review

Objective: to analyze which evaluations are used by occupational therapists, speechlanguage pathologists and physiotherapists on individuals presented with aphasia and what these evaluations address. Methods: the study conducted a national and international documental analysis of evaluations used by professionals working on the neurological rehabilitation of adults and/or elderly individuals with aphasia, published in the last ten years (January 2008/ June 2018). This analysis was performed by an integrative review of databases LILACS, SciELO and PubMed, using the descriptors: Health Assessment or Testing, or Protocols, or Psychometrics, or Questionnaires and Rehabilitation, combined with the descriptors: Aphasia, Occupational Therapy, Speech-language Pathology and Physiotherapy. Results: 26 studies were included, most of which were scored as level VI of scientific evidence; the years of 2013 and 2016 presented publication peaks. The studies used 54 evaluation tools, among which 13 were recurrent in the studies, mostly analyzing aspects of communication/language. It is assumed that these data are related to the fact that speech-language pathologists provide care for individuals with aphasia; however, these individuals may present other needs beyond communication, such as those related to human occupation, requiring multiprofessional and integral health care. Among the protocols, the Stroke Impact Scale (SIS) was considered the most complete, since it addresses communication, linguistic, human occupation and psycho-affective aspects. Conclusion: this study identified the use of few instruments dedicated to individuals with aphasia related to all aspects that involve life, with predominance of protocols and evaluations that only address disabilities, highlighting the importance of assessments that address subjectivity, evaluating individuals with aphasia in all dimensions of their lives.These systems of evidence classification provide basis for a critical evaluation of research findings and consequently in decision-making about the incorporation of evidence into clinical practice. The papers were excluded initially by year of publication; then,
