Abstract

Kod osoba s afazijom teškoće mogu biti prisutne na svim jezičnim sastavnicama, modalitetima te proizvodnji i razumijevanju jezika. Iz toga proizlaze teškoće u pripovijedanju što nerijetko dovodi do izbjegavanja komunikacije, manjka samopouzdanja, a s vremenom i socijalne izolacije. Najčešća obilježja pripovijedanja osoba s afazijom su problemi opisivanja glavnih događaja i uzročno-posljedičnih veza među njima, narušena točnost i tečnost izrečenoga, korištenje jednostavnih sintaktičkih struktura te agramatičnost. Navedeni čimbenici imaju značajan utjecaj na diskurs jer dovode do nerazumijevanja prenesene poruke. S obzirom da je dijeljenje informacija ključno u svakodnevnom životu i može poboljšati kvalitetu života, logopedska podrška treba uključivati rad na narativnoj kompetenciji. Razvojem tehnologije sve se više u terapiji, ali i kao pomoć u svakodnevnom komuniciranju, koristi potpomognuta komunikacija (PK). Cilj ovog istraživanja, u kojem je sudjelovalo 13 osoba s afazijom, bio je ispitati utjecaj logopedske terapije na pripovjedne sposobnosti osoba s afazijom uz korištenje ICT-AAC aplikacije e-Galerija Senior. Utvrđeno je da postoji statistički značajna razlika na varijablama točnost i prihvatljivost informacije, tempo i tečnost govora, sintaktička složenost i morfo-sintaktička točnost prije i po završetku razdoblja logopedske terapije. Statističkom analizom nije pronađena povezanost između duljine trajanja logopedske terapije i napretka koji ostvaruju osobe s afazijom. Ovo istraživanje naglašava važnost ciljanog razvoja informacijsko-komunikacijske tehnologije koja se može koristiti u radu logopeda.

Abstract (english)

In aphasia, difficulties can be present on all language components, modalities and language production and comprehension. This results in difficulties in narration which often leads to communication avoidance, lack of self-confidence and over time social isolation. The most common features of narration in people with aphasia are difficulties describing main events and recognising causality between them, impaired accuracy and fluency, use of simple syntactic structures and agrammatism. These factors have a significant impact on discourse because they lead to misunderstanding of conveyed message. Since sharing information is crucial in daily life and can improve its quality, speech and language support should focus on promoting narrative competence. With technology development, augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) is increasingly used not only in therapy but also as an aid in everyday communication. The aim of this study, involving 13 participants with aphasia, was to examine the impact of speech-language therapy on narrative abilities using ICT-AAC e-Gallery Senior application. It was found that there is a statistically significant difference on variables information accuracy and acceptability, speech rate and fluency, syntactic complexity and morpho-syntactic accuracy before and after treatment. Statistical analysis found no correlation between duration of treatment and the final results participants achieved. This research highlights the importance of targeted development of information and communication technology that can be used by speech-language pathologists.
