Interventions for people with perceptual disorders after stroke: the PIONEER scoping review, Cochrane systematic review and priority setting project.

Background: Stroke often affects recognition and interpretation of information from our senses, resulting in perceptual disorders. Evidence to inform treatment is unclear.

Objective: To determine the breadth and effectiveness of interventions for stroke-related perceptual disorders and identify priority research questions.

Patient and public involvement in an evidence synthesis project: description of and reflection on involvement.

Background: We conducted an NIHR-funded evidence synthesis project, reviewing evidence relating to interventions for perceptual disorders following stroke. This related paper describes how people with lived experience of stroke-related perceptual disorders contributed to and influenced the project, and identifies lessons for future review projects.

Methods: We planned our patient and public involvement and engagement (PPIE) activities within a study protocol, described according to the domains of the ACTIVE framework; these were founded on principles for good practice in PPIE.

A Process for Making Life-Care Planning a Routine of Care for Patients Admitted to Skilled Nursing Facilities.

Patient-centered care for those admitted to a skilled nursing facility is incomplete without a practitioner-patient life-care planning (LCP) conversation to facilitate informed decisions for the plan of care and a named surrogate decision maker. A medical records review of six target areas was used to identify patients who may benefit from an updated LCP conversation. Kaiser Permanente skilled nursing facility teams in the Marin-Sonoma area admitted 429 patients between November 2020 and April 2021.

Interventions for perceptual disorders following stroke.

Background: Perception is the ability to understand information from our senses. It allows us to experience and meaningfully interact with our environment. A stroke may impair perception in up to 70% of stroke survivors, leading to distress, increased dependence on others, and poorer quality of life.
