Abstract

In this article, the aim of the study is to assess the importance of psychological support in the early rehabilitation of patients after a stroke. The study involved 30 patients who had suffered an ischemic stroke. From the results, we see that a stroke dramatically changes a person's life and upon admission, 10% had a severe degree of depression, moderate depression was observed in 73%, and mild depression was in 17%. Daily work with a psychologist during the rehabilitation process significantly improved their psychoemotional state, reducing the level of depression. It also gave motivation for further rehabilitation. So, upon discharge, we observe that 67% of patients increased strength in the affected limbs to a mild degree, the Rivermead mobility index increased significantly and amounted to 12.83.36 points, out of a maximum of 15 points. This suggests that patients have become more mobile and independent. Effective rehabilitation after a stroke requires not only medical and physical therapy, but also the mandatory inclusion of psychological support as part of a comprehensive approach. This increases the chances of successful recovery and adaptation of the patient.
