The relationship between resilience, beliefs about the disease and its emotional perception in individuals with different hemispheric localization of cortical strokes
Abstract
In a cross-sectional study examining hardiness, illness beliefs, and emotional perceptions in individuals with stroke sequelae, correlations were identified between these characteristics in patients with different hemispheric localizations of cortical ischemic lesions. Of the 25 participants, 13 had experienced a stroke in the left hemisphere and 12 in the right hemisphere. The study showed that individuals with vascular accidents in the right hemisphere exhibited a greater number of significant correlations among adaptive resources, cognitive, and emotional representations of the illness. In contrast to the expected correlations typically found in left hemisphere stroke patients, the comparison group exhibited several paradoxical phenomena: overall hardiness negatively correlated with personal control over the illness, and the structural component of hardiness, “control,” negatively correlated with the assessment of stroke consequences. The results are intriguing and suggest a specific contribution of local damage to the right hemisphere cortex in adaptation to the consequences of stroke.
