Predictors of Health Information Needs among U.S. Mainland and Puerto Rican Caregivers
Stroke caregivers often do not have the information necessary to adequately manage the stroke recovery process at home. We explore how the educational needs of stroke caregivers vary by race, ethnicity, and place, and their association with caregiver characteristics. We surveyed 276 stroke caregivers living on the U.S. Mainland and in Puerto Rico to assess their educational needs related to stroke recovery. Caregivers report a high overall need f…
Association Between Health Education Needs and Stroke Caregiver Injury
Health education interventions that provide stroke caregivers with educational materials may help reduce caregiver injuries
Patterns of informal care among Puerto Rican, African American, and white stroke survivors
We find that whites, African Americans, and Puerto Ricans each have differing caregiving structures highlighted by expansion and contraction across time, size of network, and relationship to the stroke survivor. Greater cultural awareness among health professionals can lead to improved coordination of information or formal care services. These findings may also be used as a baseline for understanding the caregiving patterns of other Spanish-speak…
The continuum of connectedness and social isolation during post stroke recovery
Constructions of Continuity after Stroke
Prior research suggests that illness disrupts biographical self because of the resulting difficulty in continuing to draw on the same material and symbolic resources used in self-construction. Recent literature suggests that constructing continuity is possible because of the multi-faceted nature of self-construction. One hundred and twenty-two veterans who had been hospitalized after an acute stroke and discharged home were enrolled in the study.…
Constructing the Stroke
In this article, the authors explore the narrative production of stroke from the perspectives of survivors, that is, the stroke itself, not its implications for the individual poststroke. In the vast amount of literature on both sudden onset and chronic illness, the narrative construction of the onset of the illness, for the most part, has been ignored by social scientists, most notably in qualitative research. This is certainly true of stroke. D…
Energizing the ordinary
Sudden illness and biographical flow in narratives of stroke recovery
The conceptual framework of biographical disruption has dominated studies into the everyday experience of chronic illness. Biographical disruption assumes that the illness presents the person with an intense crisis, regardless of other mitigating factors. However, our data suggests that the lives of people who have a particular illness that is notably marked by sudden onset are not inevitably disrupted. Extensive qualitative interviews were condu…
Disrupted Bodies
This article explores the intersection of recovery and bodily practices among stroke survivors. Drawing on the extensive literature on the socially constructed body in general, on chronic illness, and on interactionist thought, we explore bodily experience as a mechanism that informs stroke survivors' understanding and practices of everyday life in recovery. We ask a central question: what practical mechanisms does the survivor employ to provide …
Benchmarking as Everyday Functional Assessment in Stroke Recovery
The lessons provided by everyday functional assessment for understanding the stroke experience, as well as directions for further study, are discussed in the conclusion
The Hazards of Stroke Case Selection Using Administrative Data
BACKGROUND: Administrative data and ICD-9-CM diagnostic codes are frequently used in research efforts to evaluate risk adjusted patient outcomes, particularly mortality. Varying ICD-9-CM sampling algorithms have been used to identify stroke patients. OBJECTIVES: This study evaluates the effects of different sampling strategies (one high sensitivity and one high specificity) on modeling stroke mortality as a performance indicator. RESEARCH DESIGN:…
