This qualitative research aimed at understanding the experience of familiar caregivers in the process of caring for persons disabled by stroke, in their home. It was held in the Program of Domiciliary Assistance of a tertiary public hospital in Fortaleza-CE, with nine caregivers. The statements were obtained through interviews recorded and organized into categories, then interpreted according to the Symbolic Interactionism method: why I take care?, Realizing the family victimized by stroke, the daily activities of caregivers, perceiving themselves as caregivers and the changes in the lives of caregivers. The analysis suggests that the nurse insert into its care tools that facilitate the process of adaptation to the new situation of the family, such as sensitivity to promote the training of familiar caregivers.

Background: Home-based rehabilitation involves professional rehabilitation care and guidance offered by physical, occupational, and speech therapists to patients in their homes to help them recuperate in a familiar living environment. The effects on the patient's motor function and activities of daily living (ADLs), and caregiver burden for community-dwelling patients are well-documented; however, little is known about the immediate benefits in patients discharged from the hospital. Therefore, we examined the effects of continuous home-based rehabilitation immediately after discharge to patients who received intensive rehabilitation during hospitalization.

Infants are exposed to a myriad of sounds early in life, including caregivers' speech, songs, human-made and natural (non-anthropogenic) environmental sounds. While decades of research have established that infants have sophisticated perceptual abilities to process speech, less is known about how they perceive natural environmental sounds. This review synthesizes current findings about the perception of natural environmental sounds in the first years of life, emphasizing their role in auditory development and describing how these studies contribute to the emerging field of human auditory ecology.

These youth also tend to find themselves caught in the gap between child and adult MHA services, often resulting in sub-optimal access to and transition through MHA services. Navigation services may be one way to close this and other system gaps and improve service utilization and supports for TAY.

As dementia progresses, patients often develop difficulties in communication and it may impact their ability to self-report pain. Therefore, it is essential that nurses working with dementia patients understand how to recognise, assess and manage pain in this population.
