The purpose of this Clinical Psychology Doctoral research is to look at staff screening behaviours with people with post-stroke aphasia, specifically Speech Pathologists.
We know that stroke survivors with communication difficulties post stroke are at an increased risk of low mood and depression than those without aphasia, but despite this there is no current published research exploring screening rates with this client group. We hope to explore with staff what may influence current screening practices in aphasia and what factors are helpful / unhelpful in screening; giving staff a voice to highlight barriers to this, which can then be used to support staff to continue to improve patient care and effectively support people with aphasia.
We are focusing on Speech Pathologists as they are the most qualified professional group to adapt communication and likely to come into contact with people quickly after their stroke, in line with National Clinical Guidelines for Stroke.
It is an online, complete anonymous questionnaire, and it would be great if you could complete the survey if you are able to in your own time and / or pass onto SLT colleagues you know. It takes roughly 15 minutes to do. Thank you very much in advance!
