ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is focused on developing a new tool to help identify anosognosia in patients who have had a stroke. Anosognosia is a condition where people are unaware of their own disabilities, which can make recovery difficult. By creating a reliable screening tool, the researchers hope to improve the care and rehabilitation of stroke patients, making it easier for healthcare professionals to understand their needs and provide appropriate support. The study will involve both stroke patients and the healthcare staff who work with them to see how well this new tool can be used in hospitals.

To participate in this trial, patients must be at least 18 years old and diagnosed with a stroke. Healthcare staff working in the stroke rehabilitation unit will also be involved. The trial will assess how acceptable and practical the new screening tool is for these professionals. While the study is not yet recruiting participants, its results could lead to better outcomes for stroke survivors and their families by ensuring they receive comprehensive care and support during their recovery.
