The findings of this study show that the impact of stroke goes far beyond physical disability. During the structural analysis, four themes were identified: (1) Acute admission to a stroke unit - an overwhelming and blurred experience. (2) Being helpless and next to yourself. (3) The important care when you worry about dying. (4) Poststroke feelings of loneliness and uncertainty.
