Initial Research Findings - Benefit Finding Amongst Young Stroke Survivors

[Stroke_Research]

Hi Everyone,

A couple of days ago you let us know that you’d like us to share the results of research studies that have been promoted on this thread, so we’ve been in touch with researchers and will share results on here as we get them.

These research projects are not associated with the Stroke Association in any way. We can’t comment on the results (honestly I don’t know enough about any of these to!) but will include the names of the researchers if you have any direct questions.

The first set of results is from a team at The Florey in Australia, the largest brain research centre in the Southern Hemisphere. Their study explores the relationship between benefit finding and factors such as personality and social support amongst younger stroke survivors.

Sadly, I cannot zoom in large enough to read this. It distorts too much in the stretching. I am very interested in research. I was hoping to read it.

Hi everyone, I’m glad this has been interesting!

Thanks @SimonInEdinburgh for sharing more information - apologies to @DeAnn that the orignal image didn’t work zoomed in every day’s a tech learning day!

Thank you, Simon. I have been reading through the articles at The Florey, and I have found some very interesting. I am impressed with what they are doing and trying to do.
