Stroke affects the personal, social, professional and family lives
of patients and their carers. This book is based on a study in
which 175 stroke patients and their family carers were followed
from the time of the stroke for a period of eighteen months. It
tells of their experience of the illness and examines their
patterns of coping, including physical, social, economic and
emotional aspects. The words of the patients and their carers
illuminate these histories of life after stroke, vividly expressing
the difficulties encountered with the services designed to help
them. At a time when the health and welfare services in many
countries are rethinking their strategies for community care, this
study underlines the importance of social factors in recovery after
stroke. Written for doctors and other health care workers involved
with stroke patients, this careful and comprehensive account will
direct attention to practices which can improve the quality of life
for people with chronic illness, and their carers.
