| Abstrakt: | Psychosocial difficulties are defined as impairments in mental and body functions, activity limitations and participation restrictions, experienced in common across brain disorders. This cross-sectional study compared the psychosocial difficulties among people with Parkinson's disease (n = 61), schizophrenia (n = 84) and stroke (n = 70). The extent of difficulties was found to be similar across the three disorders in most of the domains studied. Psychosocial difficulties were also found to be associated with sociodemographic and illness related factors. The results challenge the brain disorder-specific approach to psychosocial difficulties commonly carried out in neurological and psychiatric research. Implications to occupational therapy are presented. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
