Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Despite numerous advances in diagnosing procedures, treatment and prevention, stroke is considered a significant cause of long-term disability in the adult population Quality of life, which is deteriorated in patients after stroke (CVA), especially in the first years after stroke, is not only affected by the disease but is closely related to dignity and the satisfaction of human needs, including educational needs.

The term "Health-Related Quality of Life" (HRQoL) is used in the scientific literature as a criterion of change for medical purposes. It is an indicator of health service needs and a way to evaluate health status in a very efficient way. Psychoeducation can be applied in medical and nursing practice, as an intervention that can improve and/or maintain the quality of life, especially if it is provided to patients without a significant cognitive deficit. Psychoeducational programmes can be defined as didactic-therapeutic interventions that serve to provide information about the disease, emotional and social support and, last but not least, facilitate adaptation to new life situations.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Detailed description:

The influence of selected aspects on HRQoL will be statistically assessed in the initial phase of the research. At a later stage, the monitored file will be randomized, in a predefined 1:1 ratio.

The control group will be provided only with conventional treatment focused on neurorehabilitation care according to the workplace's habits, and structured psychoeducation will be added to this usual care. The group psychoeducational interview, which reflects the issue of CVA, will be conducted face-to-face by a clinical psychologist, a health and social worker and a nurse. It will be limited by a 6-week therapy session 1 time per week, lasting approximately 45 minutes.

Patients will be tested with 6 standardized questionnaires in the Czech language version initially before the start of treatment and subsequently one month post the completion date of their treatment. The EuroQol-5 (EQ-5D-5L) instrument will be used to assess HRQoL. The Patient Dignity Inventory (PDI) questionnaire has been chosen to identify problems related to problems associated with patient dignity. The Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) cognitive test will be used to indicatively detect dementia and the Beck Depression Inventory Second Edition (BDI-II) will be used to diagnose the severity of depressive symptoms. The Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) will be used to objectify the perception of pain and the Barthel Index (BI) for scoring ADL. At the same time, selected relevant clinical and anamnestic data will be extracted from the medical records.
