Voices of Stroke Survivors With Dysphagia: A Roy Adaptation Model-Based Qualitative Analysis.
Article in Brain and behavior, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
aimTo explore the neurobehavioral and psychosocial adaptation experiences of stroke survivors with dysphagia using the Roy Adaptation Model as an analytical framework.
methodsThis qualitative study employed a deductive design guided by the Roy Adaptation Model. Nineteen adults with acute stroke and clinically confirmed dysphagia were recruited from a university hospital in Türkiye between July and October 2025. Data were collected through semi-structured, face-to-face interviews conducted within the first week after stroke onset. Interviews were audio-recorded, transcribed verbatim, and analyzed using deductive content analysis based on the physiological, self-concept, role function, and interdependence adaptive modes.
resultsAnalysis revealed four main domains of adaptation challenges. Participants experienced physiological disruption characterized by impaired swallowing, saliva control, and repeated swallowing behaviors. Emotional responses included fear of choking, embarrassment, and uncertainty regarding recovery, reflecting disruption in self-concept. Role function was affected by loss of independence in feeding and daily activities, leading to increased dependence on caregivers. Interdependence was shaped by both social withdrawal and perceived support from family members and healthcare professionals during hospitalization.
conclusionStroke-related dysphagia is associated with multidimensional neurobehavioral and psychosocial adaptation difficulties beyond its physiological impact. Early recognition of these adaptive challenges and provision of structured support systems may facilitate coping processes during the acute phase of stroke recovery.
