Emotional and Behavioral Changes After Stroke

Emotional Factors in
Recovery
Following a stroke, my wife
become anxiety, fear, and frustration at the first day she recover and bring
back home. Initially she suffer of confusion
that makes it impossible to do the simplest mental tasks. She often feel
helpless and dependent, and her sense of self-worth is diminished. I as
caregiver and all family members are important to understand the survivor's
limitations and allow an appropriate time for recovery. Self-worth,
confidence and enjoyment of life will gradually return.
My wife as first few
month her healing progress very slow. I as caregiver and responsible husband
has to be very patient to look after her and need a comprehensive care.
What I am try so much to give encouragement to her. It is an extremely
important motivating factor for stroke survivors. Caregivers should avoid
being critical. So what I am doing, try to accept that my wife been attacked
by stroke is plan by the Greater Creator Allah. The happening is planned by
Allah for the good of our self. Avoid any nagging tends to upset and anger
stroke survivors, and discourages rather than encourages effort.
Determination is essential in
overcoming the effects of a stroke. Patients must be willing to adapt to the
disability and be convinced that by therapy they will improve. It has to be
stressed that the will to recover does pay off. Nothing helps raise the body
and spirit of the survivor of a recent stroke like seeing how their own hard
work helps their recovery. the hope
for her recovery is merging by 6 month duration of home rehabilitation. She
start to gain confident to do herself with minimum movement,
I am practiced the following
guidelines that encourage a positive recovery.
1. Set attainable goals the road to
recovery is built of simple achievements.
What I am doing is to put the
hope that my wife will recover back to normal position if we pray to the God,
Allah The Mercy. My wife was coaching to perform pray and put the hope to
Allah that the recovery process is going to improve her disability and
handicap. I support and courage her to do the exercise even a simple movement
of finger, leg, tight and so forth. By doing this she will be more confident
to do the movement of her muscle and bit by bit the improvement and change
occur. This bring her confident to the future live. This is the most
effective inside booster to speed up her healing process. Alhamdulillah the
change is great and her achievement very tremendous.
2. Involve the survivor in daily activities
and routines.
The most important thing try to
gain back patient confident, the disability of right arm and leg after stroke
attack was limited her movement and make her difficulties to do her daily
living need (DLN). For the few week I am doing all her DLN but after six moth
she recovery slightly better, then she manage to do herself a few activity
such as drinking and eating. I am keeping coaching and giving motivation to
her that her healing for recovery are better and faster. Thus giving her
inner self confidence and to achieve better will and hope for her to be
independent. Alhamdulillah it seem the strategy was successful and able her
to heal faster.
3. Encourage independent activities, while
recognizing the survivor's limitations.
I give encourage to my wife to be independent
in doing her DLN. A few accident happen when she drop her glass and the glass
break. She was so frustrated and always said the her now to be disable person
that can do nothing, But I and my family try to motivate her that she has to
learn again to do herself with certain limitation. The process what we called
as the new born child has to learn new thing every to able her be a independent
person as the child grow up, By giving fully support and motivate her every
day it seem batter improvement for her to gain recover confident to be independent
person, Allhamdulillah after one year we did this process she has acquire
more healing for arm and leg movement and able to do small thing by herself
Wallahu'alam..
