Összefoglaló szövege

Introduction: Stroke often causes life-long consequences for stroke survivors, it may produce deficits in motor, perceptual, emotional and/or cognitive functioning. It is important to understand which strategies could help for patients to support successful recovery. Adjustment to living with stroke is complex, influenced by the severity of functional limitation, degree of emotional disturbance, the meaning attached to stroke, disability and rehabilitation. The efficacy of Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) on stroke rehabilitation has not been entirely established.
Aims: The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of group-based MBCT in comparison treatment-as-usual (TAU) with MBCT+TAU in stroke survivors during inpatient stroke rehabilitation.
Method: Clinical participants are randomly assigned either to group-based MBCT+TAU or to a TAU control group. The MBCT intervention consist of six weekly 1,5-hr didactic group sessions. Clinical symptoms are assessed by self-report symptom maesures (BDI, STAI, FFMQ, MSPSS) and by examining changes in physical condition (FM, FIM) and neurocognitive functioning (Pieron). Measures are completed at pre-treatment, post-treatment, and 3-month follow-up.
Results: Patient inclusion is ongoing. Poster presentation demonstrates only cross-sectional analysis of patients’ baseline data at the onset of treatment. According to the plan the research is going to be conducted for minimum two more years. The questionnaire-based research in MBCT group too will be supplemented with qualitative tools and interviews. We hypothesize that more participants will reach clinically significant change of measured parameters (for example depression) in the MBCT intervention in comparison with the TAU control group and the findings will suggest group-based MBCT may have promising utility and could offer a suitable psychological intervention for stroke survivors.
