Abstract

Afazija je stečeni jezični poremećaj nastao kao posljedica oštećenja mozga te se očituje različitim stupnjem teškoća u jezičnoj proizvodnji i razumijevanju te čitanju i pisanju. Navedene teškoće onemogućavaju osobama s ovim poremećajem učinkovitu svakodnevnu komunikaciju što se odražava na njihovu kvalitetu života. Tako se u istraživanjima može uočiti sve veća posvećenost povezanom govoru, odnosno govorenom diskursu kao obliku najbližem svakodnevnoj komunikaciji, a zbog svoje prirodnosti i emocionalne obojenosti sve se češće ispituju sposobnosti pripovijedanja osobnih priča. O kojim će temama osobe s afazijom najčešće pripovijedati u osobnim pričama može kliničarima ponuditi bogat izvor za odabir valjanih materijala za terapiju te pružiti uvid u to čime je osoba s afazijom najviše zaokupljena, kao i proizvodi li češće priče koje imaju negativnu konotaciju. Cilj ovog rada bio je ispitati o kojim temama osobe s afazijom pripovijedaju kada se potaknu na oblikovanje emocionalno različito poticajnih tema. U istraživanju je sudjelovalo 14 osoba s afazijom i 14 odraslih govornika urednog jezičnog statusa. Uzorci osobnih priča prikupljeni su Global TALES protokolom (Westerveld i sur., 2022) koji je prethodno prilagođen za odrasle osobe. Rezultati istraživanja pokazuju da osobe s afazijom često pripovijedaju o temama vezanim za moždani udar (25% ukupnih priča) te da pripovijedaju više osobnih priča sa specifičnim temama (koje su vezane uz moždani udar) od kontrolne skupine. Ne postoji razlika u čestotnosti proizvodnje osobnih priča s negativnim događajem i negativnim krajem među skupinama, ali osobe s afazijom pripovijedaju više negativnih krajeva priče za poticaj „važan događaj“ od kontrolne skupine. Ovakvi rezultati ukazuju na izrazitu zaokupljenost osoba s afazijom svojim stanjem.

Abstract (english)

Aphasia is an acquired language disorder resulting from brain damage, manifesting in varying degrees of difficulty in language production and comprehension, as well as reading and writing. These difficulties hinder effective daily communication for individuals with this disorder, adversely affecting their quality of life. Consequently, research has increasingly focused on connected speech, specifically spoken discourse, as it closely resembles everyday communication. Due to its naturalness and emotional coloring, the ability to tell personal stories is being tested more frequently. Understanding the topics that people with aphasia most often narrate in their personal stories can provide clinicians with a valuable resource for selecting appropriate therapy materials and offer insights into what preoccupies individuals with aphasia, particularly if they often produce stories with a negative connotation. The aim of this study was to examine the topics that people with aphasia discuss when encouraged to formulate emotionally diverse topics. 14 individuals with aphasia and 14 adult speakers without language impairments participated in the research. Samples of personal stories were collected using the Global TALES protocol (Westerveld et al., 2022), which was previously adapted for adults. The research results indicate that people with aphasia frequently narrate topics related to stroke (25% of total stories) and that they tell more personal stories about specific topics (stroke-related stories) compared with the control group. Although there is no significant difference between groups in the frequency of producing personal stories with negative events and negative endings, people with aphasia produce more negative story endings in response to the “important event” stimulus than the control group. These findings suggest that individuals with aphasia are extremely preoccupied with their condition.
