PSYCHODIAGNOSTICS OF COGNITIVE IMPAIRMENTS IN PATIENTS WITH STROKE

This article examines the psychodiagnostic assessment of cognitive impairments in patients who have suffered a stroke. Stroke is often accompanied by significant disturbances in cognitive processes, including memory, attention, thinking, and executive functions, which negatively affect patients’ quality of life and social adaptation. The study highlights the importance of early identification and comprehensive evaluation of these impairments using standardized psychodiagnostic methods. Various neuropsychological tests and assessment tools are analyzed in terms of their effectiveness in detecting the severity and structure of cognitive deficits. The article also discusses the relationship between lesion localization and the type of cognitive dysfunction observed in patients. The findings emphasize the necessity of integrating psychodiagnostic approaches into rehabilitation programs to improve recovery outcomes and optimize individualized treatment strategies for stroke patients.
