- “A proof of life” through transition from hospital to home after a stroke in a Portuguese setting: a multi-perspective, longitudinal qualitative studyPublication . Mendes Pereira, Carla; Greenwood, Nan; Jones, FionaPurpose The impact of a stroke is particularly evident during the transition home, with reported unmet needs. However, little is known about post-stroke adaptation in Portugal. This study aimed to understand how Portuguese people with stroke and their informal carers/family adapt over time, and how health professionals support their adaptation. Methods A multi-perspective, longitudinal qualitative study was conducted using in-depth semi-structured interviews one and six months after inpatient discharge. A purposive sample of 24 participants (8 triads) participated. Thematic and narrative analysis strategies were used. Results Three themes were identified: Managing change over time; Balancing support over time; Changing priorities. These suggest the importance of time and gradual adjustment of health professionals’ approach throughout the rehabilitation process tailored to people with stroke’ and carers’ needs. Both valued positive thoughts and support from others to adjust life goals and find a balance between a mutual/bidirectional support and time for themselves. Conclusions Findings show that the manner in which changes after a stroke are approached may be positively transformed to provide strength. As a result of the deeper understanding gained from this study, health professionals may be better placed to acknowledge the needs of people with stroke and carers and find effective ways of supporting them.
