    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; stroke; physical activity; exercise; sedentary behaviour; stroke unit care;

    Sammanfattning : Background: Insufficient physical activity is a global problem and a risk factor for stroke. Furthermore, physical activity is often reduced after stroke, and many patients are physically inactive in stroke units. LÄS MER

  3. 22. Modelling of Care Processes. The use of Simulation Models for the Design of Health Care Environments

    Författare :Lena Marie Elf; Högskolan Dalarna; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; care planning; system dynamics; stroke care process; Planning and construction process; group modelling; health care; modelling and simulation;

    Sammanfattning : The necessity to improve the building design process is stressed in many studies. Communication in the early stages of the process is particularly important and it is suggested that this influences the quality of the whole process. LÄS MER

  4. 23. Outcomes and Experiences of a Fast Track - A direct admission process from ambulance to stroke unit for patients not eligible for acute intervention

  5. 24. The Force of Blood : Epidemiological studies of blood pressure in stroke, atrial fibrillation and primary care

    Författare :Johan-Emil Bager; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; epidemiology; blood pressure; hypertension; stroke; myocardial infarction; atrial fibrillation; anticoagulants; LDL cholesterol; primary health care;

    Sammanfattning : Aim: The overarching aim of this thesis was to investigate the prevalence, temporal trends and associations to cardiovascular outcomes of blood pressure levels in patients in Västra Götaland. Methods and findings: In Study I, Cox regression analysis was used to investigate associations between blood pressure and mortality in 799 patients with acute ischemic stroke who were identified in the quality register of a stroke ward at Sahlgrenska University Hospital.

  7. 25. Executive dysfunctions in elderly persons with mild stroke

    Författare :Marie Cederfeldt; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :stroke; Cognitive dysfunction; EFPT; Elderly; Executive dysfunction; Instrumental Activities of Daily Life; Mild stroke; Personal Activities of Daily Life; Translation;

    Sammanfattning : ABSTRACT The overall aim of this thesis was to examine the performance of personal activities of daily living (P-ADL) related to cognitive and executive dysfunctions in elderly patients with mild stroke in the acute care and after 12 months, and to evaluate the instrument Executive Function Performance Test (EFPT) in persons with mild stroke. Methods: In the first study elderly patients with stroke (n = 60) referred to geriatric rehabilitation were included. LÄS MER
