Managing post-stroke fatigue: A qualitative study to explore multifaceted clinical perspectives (2021)
Journal Article
Drummond, A., Nouri, F., Ablewhite, J., Condon, L., Das Nair, R., Jones, A., …Thomas, S. (2022). Managing post-stroke fatigue: A qualitative study to explore multifaceted clinical perspectives. British Journal of Occupational Therapy, 85(7), 505-512. https://doi.org/10.1177/03080226211042269

Introduction: Post-stroke fatigue (PSF) is common and debilitating. However, while its effective management is a priority for clinicians and stroke survivors, there remains little evidence to provide guidance or underpin practice. Our aim, therefore,...
