Summary
This review highlights the varied definitions and assessment tools for metacognition in stroke research. Standardized tools are needed for better rehabilitation outcomes in stroke survivors.
Area of Science:
- Neuroscience
- Psychology
Background:
- Metacognition involves self-awareness and regulation of cognitive processes.
- Understanding metacognition is crucial for cognitive and emotional functioning post-stroke.
Purpose of the Study:
- To review definitions and assessment tools for metacognition in stroke studies.
- To identify gaps in current research, particularly regarding acute stroke assessment.
Main Methods:
- Comprehensive literature search across multiple databases (MEDLINE, CINAHL, PsycINFO, etc.).
- Inclusion criteria focused on studies examining metacognition in relation to stroke.
- Analysis of 34 eligible articles based on initial search of 1412 publications.
Main Results:
- Heterogeneity in metacognition definitions and assessment tools (SRSI, SADI, AQ, PCRS) was observed.
- Most studies focused on chronic stroke, with limited research in the acute phase.
- Metacognition research in stroke lags behind other acquired brain injuries.
Conclusions:
- A lack of standardized definitions and assessment tools hinders consistent research and clinical application.
- Developing a standard metacognitive assessment tool is recommended for stroke rehabilitation.
- Future research should prioritize acute stroke assessment and standardized methodologies.
