Surviving a serious stroke: Unveiling the essence of the experience.
The study looked at the experiences of a person who survived a serious stroke. Researchers spent time with the survivor, their family, and caregivers to understand their journey. They found seven main themes about surviving a stroke, focusing on space, time, body, and relationships. It's important to continue supporting stroke survivors even after initial rehabilitation to personalize care and help them engage in meaningful activities. This type of study helps us better understand what it's like to survive a stroke.
