Abstract
Poststroke depression (PSD) is a common complication after stroke. The effects of climate therapy on rehabilitation of stroke patients constitute a scientific knowledge gap.
Purpose: To investigate the impact of climate therapy on the mood of stroke patients.
Method: A qualitative interview with semi-structured questions and a quantitative self- assessment tool in the form of a survey, HAD (Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale). As an incidental finding HAD also provided information about the anxiety level.
Result: The result showed that most patients felt better mentally as a result of the rehabilitation at the climate therapy facility. After content analysis of the informants responses, three main categories could be compiled;... (More)

Result: The result showed that most patients felt better mentally as a result of the rehabilitation at the climate therapy facility. After content analysis of the informants responses, three main categories could be compiled; positive experiences, maintaining functions and motivation, and worrying about life at home. The HAD survey showed that of the seven informants included in the study, five reported that they were suffering from depression or anxiety when arriving at the climate therapy facility. At discharge, no informant reported depression and only one informant reported mild to moderate anxiety.
Conclusion: The result suggests that climate therapy resulted in an improved mental health, an improved mood and a reduced anxiety level for the majority of the patients who participated in the study. (Less)
Abstract (Swedish)
Poststroke depression (PSD) är en vanlig komplikation efter stroke. Klimatvårdens effekter vid rehabilitering av strokepatienter utgör en vetenskaplig kunskapslucka.
Syfte: Att undersöka klimatvårdens inverkan på stämningsläget hos strokepatienter.
Metod: En kvalitativ intervju med semistrukturerade frågor samt ett kvantitativt självskattningsinstrument i form av en enkät, HAD (Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale). Som ett bifynd gav HAD även information om ångestnivån.
Resultat: Resultatet visade att flertalet patienter mådde bättre psykiskt av rehabiliteringen på klimatvårdsanläggningen. Efter innehållsanalys av informanternas intervjusvar kunde tre huvudkategorier sammanställas; positiva erfarenheter, upprätthålla funktioner och... (More)

Resultat: Resultatet visade att flertalet patienter mådde bättre psykiskt av rehabiliteringen på klimatvårdsanläggningen. Efter innehållsanalys av informanternas intervjusvar kunde tre huvudkategorier sammanställas; positiva erfarenheter, upprätthålla funktioner och motivation, samt oro inför livet hemma. HAD-enkäten visade att av de sju informanter som ingått i studien rapporterade fem att de led av depression eller ångest vid ankomsten till klimatvårdsanläggningen. Vid utskrivningen rapporterade ingen informant depression och endast en informant rapporterade mild till måttlig ångest.
Slutsats: Resultatet talar för att klimatvården resulterade i ett förbättrat psykiskt mående, ett förbättrat stämningsläge och en reducerad ångestnivå för majoriteten av de patienter som deltog i studien. (Less)
