A tool for training in positivity for stroke survivors?

What is it about?

This was an interview study with stroke survivors on their opinions about the use of a CD called Positive Mental Training (PosMT) a guided self-help tool that promotes positive thinking, optimism, and relaxation. We wanted to see whether stroke survivors would be able to use the tool and whether they felt it could be beneficial for helping other stroke survivors overcome anxiety and depression and promote resilience post-stroke.

Why is it important?

This study is important because we know that stroke survivors who are able to maintain their positivity and who demonstrate psychological resilience in the face of stroke and of the demands of rehabilitation, often do better in terms of both emotional and sometimes functional recovery.
