Brief Summary

Quality of care depends strongly on oral communication with patients. Stroke patients, who have language disorders, have understanding difficulties, but also have difficulties in expressing their needs and in being understood. Available tools do not allow a professional consensus on the assessment of patients' ability to answer reliably to questions asked by caregivers. The investigators propose an answer reliability assessment tool based on yes or no questions. The goal of the present study is to define an optimal score for defining the test positivity, as a compromise between sensitivity and specificity, and by emphasizing the negative predictive value.

Conditions

Stroke, Acute; Aphasia

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• YNQ Score

  The Yes/No questionnaire consists in 10 closed-ended questions designed to assess the patient's ability to provide a coherent answer. It was designed with questions that are very easy to answer, with the following constraints: * The questionnaire use only the auditory/verbal channel . * The questions ask only about personal data because they are less ambiguous. * The syntactical construction of the questions is very simple. * Apart from the use of personal data very familiar to the participants, the other nouns in the closed questions are very frequent (according to a lexical database). * The length of the questions was limited to seven words. * With the exception of two questions, each yes-response question had a no-response equivalent, as in some existing tests. A score of zero indicates a wrong answer to all questions. A score of ten indicates a correct answer to all questions.

  measured within 7 in-hospital days
