A2 - Cruz, Ernesto PY - 2015 T2 - CURRENT Diagnosis & Treatment: Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation AB - Psychological disorders are highly prevalent among patients admitted to acute rehabilitation units. Soon after their medical event, patients are forced to quickly wrestle with myriad emotions, such as powerlessness, shock, demoralization, and loss, while often concomitantly experiencing a variety of physical discomforts. Many patients must also suddenly grapple with the reality of alterations in lifestyle and relationships, cope with stigma that may accompany their limitations or injury, and bear significant financial burdens. Particularly during the acute phase, physical and cognitive deficits, as well as the inability to perform basic activities of daily living, serve as a significant source of distress and irritation. Unanswered questions related to prognosis and quality-of-life issues fuel feelings of worry and unrest about the future, for both patients and caregivers.
