Communication Related Quality of Life in Patients with Different Types of Aphasia Following a Stroke: Preliminary Insights

Show full item recordAbstract
It is well known that stroke and aphasia can seriously affect
communication related quality of life (QoL). What has been
less examined is whether communication QoL differs in relation
to qualitatively different forms of aphasia. The aim of
this exploratory study was to investigate this possibility in
four patients with aphasia caused by stroke: two with Broca’s
and two with conduction aphasia. The quality of communication
life scale (QCL) was administered in the chronic
phase after stroke, alongside other aphasia assessments.
All participants showed overall a relatively good Quality of
Communication Life according to QCL. The patient with severe
conduction aphasia demonstrated lower scores in all
examined life domains compared to the patient with severe
Broca’s aphasia suggesting that it might be worthwhile in
future to investigate differential effects on QoL of different
aphasia profiles.
