Аннотация
BACKGROUND: Stroke prevalence is one of the most pressing issues in many sub-Saharan African countries. Stroke survivors often face disabilities, mental health problems, and experience stigma. Research on post-stroke experiences and interventions is limited, particularly in low and middle-income countries, including Ghana. This study aims to contribute to this gap by investigating experiences of everyday life following a stroke in urban Ghana.
METHOD: A qualitative in-depth study involving 14 interviews with stroke survivors who attended physiotherapy at Accra Physiotherapy and Sports Injury Clinic. Qualitative analysis was conducted to analyse the data.
RESULTS: Data analysis generated four themes; [1] Mobility limitations; [2] Psychosocial burden [3] Employment Limitations [4] Financial burden.
CONCLUSION: Stroke survivors with disabilities perceive themselves as non-functional members of society, which limits their options for a normal life and undermines their well-being. A more in-depth understanding of these issues can contribute to strategies, interventions, and policies that address these problems.
