Research
Research overview
Katerina's research is focused on two main areas:
1. The long-term impact and psychosocial aspects of adult neurological conditions, with an emphasis on stroke and aphasia. This covers both exploration of this impact, with current projects looking at ways to support emotional and social well-being for people with aphasia, and also methodological issues, such as instrument development and adaptation for people with aphasia.
2. The effectiveness of speech and language therapy and other interventions on activities, participation and quality of life, in particular for people with aphasia.
Research areas
- Promoting psychosocial wellbeing in people with stroke and aphasia
- Effectiveness of aphasia therapy on activities, participation and quality of life
- Quality of life assessment in people with communication disabilities
- Stroke and aphasia outcomes research
- Development, psychometric testing and cultural adaptation of quality of life and patient reported outcome measures
- Social network and social support after stroke

Role: 1st Supervisor
Further information: This project explores how language and cognitive factors affect psychosocial wellbeing in two understudied groups of young adults: those with diagnosed acquired language impairment/aphasia (ALI) and those with diagnosed developmental language impairment (DLI). The project aims to answer the following questions: 1) Is psychosocial wellbeing different between young adults with DLI and ALI, and is it poorer in comparison to typically developing young adults? 2) Do language and cognitive variables such as non-verbal ability and executive functioning contribute to predicting psychosocial outcomes in young adults with ALI and DLI? 3) Are potential group differences in psychosocial outcomes between young adults with ALI and DLI entirely accounted for by language and cognitive variables, or do they remain once such variables have been controlled?
Eva Efstratiadou
Attendance: Oct 2012 – Dec 2017
Thesis title: Investigation of different therapy approaches for aphasia in the Greek language
Role: 1st Supervisor
Further information: - 1st Supervisor

- This study investigates the effectiveness of speech and language therapy, delivered through different approaches for Greek speaking people with aphasia in Greece. Two different therapy approaches are examined: a) direct (one-to-one therapy) and b) combination therapy (one-to-one and group therapy). The study explores the outcomes of each therapy approach and which one, if any, has the greatest positive effects on quality of life.

The Scenario Test was originally developed in The Netherlands and it is a functional communication test for people with aphasia that taps on all forms of communication, such as speech, gesture, drawing and writing. Furthermore, the project investigated the relationship between cognitive factors ('executive attention') and the ability to independently communicate using both verbal and non-verbal methods.
