Main Methods:

  • Qualitative study utilizing a modified grounded theory approach.
  • Semi-structured interviews conducted with 12 community-dwelling stroke survivors.
  • Data collected from cohorts at 1, 3, and 5 years poststroke.

Main Results:

  • Participants described mood changes including frustration, reduced self-efficacy, dependency, and loss.
  • Factors influencing mood included insight, hope, faith, and social support.
  • Mood changes persisted long after hospital discharge.

Conclusions:

  • Mood disturbances are a long-term issue for stroke survivors, extending years post-event.
