Multidimensional analysis of self-concept in people with aphasia

This study analyzes self-concept in individuals with aphasia across six key dimensions of psychosocial functioning. The research sample included 40 respondents with diagnosed aphasia who were evaluated using a standardized Self-Concept Questionnaire. Results reveal a differentiated self-concept profile with the lowest values in the area of meaning and self-realization (only 10% of respondents achieved above-average values), while relatively higher values were recorded in dimensions of social adaptability and anxiety resistance. Analysis of value distribution across individual dimensions shows a predominance of average values, suggesting potential for targeted intervention. The study overcomes methodological limitations of previous research by using a multidimensional approach to self-concept assessment and identifies specific areas requiring increased attention in the rehabilitation process.
