Area of Science:

Speech-language pathology
Patient-centered care
Phenomenology

Background:

Traditional aphasia rehabilitation focuses on language training, but its effectiveness is not fully established.
Patients with aphasia may require professional caring interventions as a foundation for therapeutic training.

Purpose of the Study:

To explore the patient's perspective on professional aphasia care.
To complement expert knowledge in speech-language therapy with lived experiences.

Main Methods:

A phenomenological approach was employed to understand patient experiences.
Data collection included in-depth interviews, follow-up interviews, diaries, and biographies.
Descriptive phenomenological analysis was used.

Main Results:

The core finding is trusting the patient's competence while addressing existential concerns.
Key elements include preventing isolation, ensuring straightforwardness, providing security, recognizing care needs, encouraging language practice, promoting equality, and supporting identity.

Conclusions:

Professional aphasia care necessitates a secure base and a carer who trusts the patient's cognitive and communicative abilities.
Clinical implications emphasize creating a secure base, fostering a fighting spirit, facilitating communication, understanding existential situations, and affirming the patient's identity.
