The Psychological and Social Impact on Aphasic Disorder of The Right Hemiplegic Patients

Abstract

The current investigation represents a phenomenographic study to identify the psychosocial aspect of aphasic patients to reduce and treat their language disability. Aphasia is amalgamation of speech and language disorder mainly produced by damage to the left half of the brain. The disorder may cause difficulties in speaking, listening, reading, and writing, but does not affect intelligence. Along with a scrutiny of research, these observations are generated from a personal experience in the development of treatment and the investigation of background knowledge about aphasia among relatives of patients in the rehabilitation service, at 5 months apart with a focus on ten patients and their caregivers. Upon observations and examination of questionnaires’ responses, it becomes clear that the mutual relation between the social awareness of the phenomenon and the aphasic patient is the source of treatment. This allows for more individual consideration of aphasic people and may direct future research to shed light on EFL aphasic students; and could optimize the chance to cover the field of aphasia and multilingualism.
