The process by which patients become aware of unilateral spatial neglect: A qualitative study.

Unilateral spatial neglect (USN), which can occur post-stroke, significantly impacts patients' daily lives. We explored the process by which patients become aware of the facets of their USN from the acute to subacute phase using a qualitative method. Participant observations, semi-structured interviews, and medical-record surveys were conducted with eight patients with USN and thirty healthcare professionals.
