Afasi er en diagnose som rammer en av fire voksne hjerneslagpasienter. Hjernen er blitt skadet slik at området som styrer kommunikasjon får problemer. Ikke bare blir det vanskelig å føre en samtale, det kan plutselig bli vanskelig å lese aviser, høre på nyheter eller sende meldinger. Noen personer har mindre utfordringer, mens andre opplever alvorlige utfordringer.
I dette foredraget får du svar på spørsmålene:
Hva skjer egentlig i hjernen når vi prater?
Og hvorfor oppstår problemene etter et hjerneslag?
Hva kan man gjøre med det? Blir man frisk igjen?

How did you like to participate in the SunCIST program - and was it useful?
Vis sammendrag
Background and Aims:
In general, there is still a lack of acknowledged recommendations concerning the effectiveness of aphasia rehabilitation programs, whereas constrained induced language therapy has been described as one of the positive trends in several Chochrane-reviews. Sunnaas rehabilitation hospital offers a 3-week intensive aphasia program based on the principles of CILT within a holistic, multi-disciplinary group setting, called SunCIST. Intervention outcomes are usually presented by various forms of test results, whereas there seems to be distinctly fewer reports of user evaluation of the meaningfulness of aphasia programs. Therefore, the aim of this study was to explore the evaluation by the person with aphasia (PWA) themselves who had participated in the SunCIST program.
Methods:
As part of the assessment battery, all SunCIST participants are asked to evaluate the SunCIST program by the end of the intervention period. The evaluation form consists of four open ended questions for an overall impression, as well as 14 questions with a 5-point Likert-scale choice for detailed feedback on subjects as content, picture material, intensity, usefulness, tiredness etc. The evaluation form is provided in an aphasia friendly format, with illustrating pictures and all possibilities for support by the SLP in order to promote a response by the PWA. Data analyses included both quantitative and qualitative data. The main focus of this presentation is on the qualitative data from the open ended questions.
Results: The study included evaluation forms from a 4 year period, in total from 95 PWA, aged 22-78 years (M=57.6) with varying degrees of aphasia from severe to mild. Time post onset varied from 4 months to 34 years (M=4.4 years, SD =5.8). The majority of the participants were generally satisfied and reported overall positive feedback to the SunCIST program. Preliminary data analyses point to few significant differences between participants; however there are tendencies that women, the oldest participants, and PWAs after cerebral insults report a higher degree of satisfaction. Interestingly, there is no strong correlation in satisfaction and meaningfulness of the program connected to the changes in language test outcomes pre to post test.
Discussion: The main critical point of the analysed data concerns the data collection by the treating SLP and incomplete answers.
Conclusions: SunCIST receives generally a high score on satisfaction, with constructive critical comments on improvement concerning as different parts as e.g., the picture material, intensity, and group member’s aphasia severity.
Implications for clinical practice: This is one of the rare studies based on evaluation of an intervention program by the PWA. Hence, it offers relevant insight in how SunCIST fits persons with various degrees of aphasia and gives valuable feedback on which parts of the program that could be even more tailored for individual needs and better outcome. This form of feedback provides thereby the PWA with an important voice for user participation.
