Abstract
Patients experiencing aphasia from brain damage due to cerebrovascular accident or craniocerebral trauma manifest psychological and behavioral changes resulting from communication deficits. Although literature is controversial regarding the etiology of the psychological responses, the major determinant of these responses depends upon the premorbid personality. Specific nursing diagnoses focusing on communication, knowledge deficits and grieving are presented with suggested interventions.
